Youth - Shawn Mendes ft. Khalid, an amazing song with an important meaning who should get more recognition,
an important thread.
an important thread.
Shawn and Khalid joined forces to write this song After the two terrorist attacks in the U.K. (The 2017 London Bridge attack and the Manchester Arena bombing)
They needed to make a statement and they try to write about how the "youth is feeling" after the attack.
The main message that this song wants to transmit to us is that Despite all tragedies, fears, and pain, there is not a single thing that can take away the idea of hope or a person's spirit.
Shawn also said in a interview for Variety's 2018 Power of Young Hollywood that "When we talk about the word youth we're not talking about age, but the feeling of happiness and freedom" +
"Any generation nowadays has the ability to change the world for the better"
Now lets talk about the masterpiece that its the Music Video...
The whole concept of the music video is showing off what makes then so proud to be alive, that was represented by a list of people between the age of 8 and 20.
The song and the mv serve as a call to action to kids and teens across America to fight gun violence, (clips of a gun breaking into pieces and also clips from the march For Our Lives rally are featured at the beginning of the video.)
But not just it, it serves as well as a statement to older generations meant to show the power the up-and-coming generation wields, there's a sentence in the beginning of the mv said by David Hogg's saying "If you listen real close, you can hear the people of power shaking".
The mv is staring by drag queens, teenage activists, black female, filmmakers, spoken word poets, painters, ballerinas and so much more.
They also show us survivors of gun violence. The whole concept of the mv is telling us to fight that, and that we are not gonna give up.
In conclusion this songs deserves WAY MORE than 47 Million views, theres so much potential in this song AND the mv and it deserved a lot better
Anyways stream Youth
