Justin Bieber - Pray (Its impact on me)

Justin Bieber's recent song 'Pray' has become quite the sensation among teenage girls with his somewhat manlier yet calming voice. However, I am not going to talk about how the song is nice to listen to, but the meaning behind this song. 

In America's music industry today, popular singers are mostly part of the 'Illuminati', a word used mostly by netizens, for singers who sing meaningless songs with their fascinating background music as attraction. Therefore, I have to point out this song by Justin Bieber, for the heartening message it brings out. 

The song is telling us to 'pray' for the people out who are less fortunate than us, who do not have a nice house to live in, or a prosperous government who can care for them. Not only that, but we should also try our best, be it donating money, showing care for them, as long as the thought counts, to help them.

This song has reminded me to be thankful for what I have and not take everything for granted. Let us make our society a better place to live in by appreciating what others do for us!

  1. Hi Wei Liang,

    After reading this blog post of yours, I was really inspired by the true meaning behind this song sang by the Bieber. I am really impressed with your comparison between other singers and Bieber claiming that others sing meaningless songs except for this one. Also, what I feel is that everyone should play a part by being generous and give as much as possible back to the society to share with the rest of the people.

  2. I totally agree with Wei Liang and Timothy. Many songs now are either about love or are meaningless. However, this song talks about life and that we should always pay back to society when we are successful. No matter what, we should be generous as anything and everything can be useful for these unfortunate people.
    Take for example the people suffering from floods and natural disasters. We are very lucky that Singapore does not experience any natural disasters and should try our best to help these unlucky victims of society.

    I agree with Wei Liang, Timothy and Andre. Many songs nowadays are created so that the singers can keep their career going and not benefit the society at all. I am not defaming the singer or anything but what does lady gaga's poker face or bad romance have to do to benefit others or society? The answer is nothing. This shows that we should be content with what we have and not want more. How can we ask for more knowing that there are others out there who probably do not even have half of what we have or in worse case scenarios, not even have a roof above their heads.
