Bruce Springsteen - This Land is Your Land (Woody Guthrie Song)

Song of America:
This Land is Your Land is ideally the perfect Song of America as it is devoted to describing America through the eyes of Woody Guthrie. Many times in history, a country sees the foundation of a controversial idea, an idea that spreads and leads the way for others to emerge. The idea in this song is communism. Socialism was a widespread movement across the world, and although it was very hesitantly viewed by most Americans, Guthrie saw it as a step upward from the troubles of maintaining an economy as the U.S. has done. And with his Marxist ideas, Woody was truly able to depict the problems experienced by everyday 40's Americans while also speaking on what the country had originally promised its people. Woody Guthrie was born into and lived his entire life as part of the middle lower class. And as middle class makes up a majority of the population, the demand for change wasn't uncommon, even if it wasn't usually based on communism. When This land is Your Land was released, it is likely that a good portion of the adults had been a part of the recently faded Great Depression. The country was also currently emerging out of the devastating Second World War. All these political and economical problems had citizens begging for the old America, and that is exactly what Woody Guthrie did.
