How to Make a Song Go Viral – an Example of a Social Commentary Song
Sometimes songs by an unknown songwriter go viral, such as “Rich Men North of Richmond” about a working class man struggling to get by while rich enjoy their elite moneyed life. And now, another song is going viral: “I’m a Country Man in a Digital Age” which is about a man who wishes for a return to a simpler way of life where people were easy to meet and call. But now he feels the world is moving too fast, and there’s so much hatred and conflict.
He describes how the world is full of smart gadgets, such as phones and robots that can talk, and he worries about a future where AI’s all the rage, but it’s taking away the human touch.
