One Day

 The song “one day”, by Matisyahu is important because it talks about not fighting in wars because it doesn’t matter who wins or loses its about just having peace.  This song resists the ideology of countries always in war and destroying places, making it unsafe for children and families.  It can reflect todays war like in Lybia or Afgahanastan because they are wars that we really don’t need to be in. They just cause more harm to us. This shows how America is always in a war for no reason. Well not always for no reason but reasons that we Americans can't figure out why we are in. For example Lybia.

His full name is Mathew Miller but his hebrew and stage name is Mtisyahu. He is 32 years old and the types of work or genres he mixes in are rock, reggae, and occasional beat boxing. Also some songs include hebrew chants. He wrote this to tell everyone that war is not the answer and even though it does happen good times will come back around soon. So he does have a negative feeling of wars but is positive about better times in the future and hopefully without war and where we all are safe. It was used in the Olympics as a peace song, which it is. Most of his songs are of peace and religous value due to his hebrew background.

 "All my life I've been waiting for I've been praying for, for the people to say that we don't wanna fight no more they'll be no more wars and our children will play". This is a great way to reflect his views that he is trying to put out with the song. Its a dream that he has and i believe he thinks that we should all have that dream to just be peaceful with eachother. It also reflects his religon when he says "ive been praying for" so it can hint that he is religous but also show its an important topic that should happen.
