OT: Songs that make you think

[Bald Husky]

Alot going on in this world, love, hate, war, crime, etc. Some songs are fun, lively, good to dance to, but there are those that may have a message, make you think about things long after the song is over. Even songs of the past are relevant today, with a greater impact than when they were first released. I apologize that I don't know how to post a song or album to this forum, but I will offer my first song that I hold very dearly. I hope you will show us others that may have had an impact on you.
My offering is "Imagine" by the late John Lennon.

Sadly, this is still an issue today. Especially in Chicago, Baltimore and DC.

This is the Les McCann version of "What's Going On" - just a very soft, soulful, very thoughtful version of the classic:

I'd post it for you, but I hate that song. IDK, thinking on this board???? That's a big ask.

Unfortunately this is relevant again. Honorable mention to his song "We Work the Black Seam".

Powerful song and a voice to match.
Went with a live version rather than the official music video.

Johnny Cash was a deep thinker, a lot of facets to the man.
