Which song best represents humanity to you?

[FriendlyDrugDealer]

Let’s say aliens asked humans to give a summary of humanity in a song to understand us, which song does the best job of explaining humanity as a whole and why that song in particular?
Let’s prove we belong on their intergalactic space council or at least minimal, not to be eradicated 😇

a mistake can be wonderful as well...

"A Simple Mistake"
Anathema

Think for yourself you know what you need in this life
See for yourself and feel your soul come alive tonight
Here in the moment we share, trembling between the worlds we stare
Out at starlight enshrined, veiled like diamonds in..

... time could be the answer, take a chance or lose it all
It's a simple mistake to make to create love and to fall
So rise and be your master you don't need to be a slave
Of memory ensnared in a web, in a cage

I have found my way to fly free from the constraints of time
I have soared through the sky seen life far below in mind
Breathed in truth, love, serene, sailed on OCEANS OF BELIEF
Searched and found life inside, we're not just a moment in time...

... Could be the answer, take a chance or lose it all
It's a simple mistake to make to create love and to fall
So rise and be your master you don't need to be a slave
Of memory ensnared in a web, in a cage...

Don McLean's American Pie. I contains a lot of history in its lyrics.

Thanks for sharing this, I was truly going down a road with this one. Yeah I enjoyed the explaining throughout that

[AviatorTom]

You're very welcome. I stumbled across this video a couple weeks ago. It enlightened me. I always knew what some of the lyrics meant... this video explains them all.

[AviatorTom]

Thanks for the MHO

What a great, unique, q!

The Beatles should probably get the honour. No band was more prolific, and concerned about humanity.

But I guess I prefer this one.
It's simple but very touching.

That first song is very spot on

[ADFSDF1996]

Ode to joy represents humanity’s constant struggle to see each other as fellow brothers and sisters.

Songs about being stupid.

Let's just go with this.

Everyone thinks they're not dumb and that "only the ones around them" are stupid, but still displays the same old stupidity like political bandwagoning, being extremely gullible and easily exploited, and trusting corporations and the (US) government every four years. I might be a part of this group as well, but I try hard not to, and to be more self-aware.

I came back to this question just to post this perfect video, describing humanity to the aliens, from a celestial perspective.

For the strong people out there, I would say "spirit indestructible" Nelly Furtado.
