An Explanation Of Michael Jackson's Man In The Mirror
“Man in the Mirror” by Michael Jackson was a song that broke through a ton of barriers in regards to social issues that were occurring during 1987, at the time that this song was released. It is still mildly popular in today’s time as well, considering that there are still “kids in the streets, / with not enough to eat”. There are tons of individuals who are still living in poverty all over the world, and we as human beings need to start “taking a look at [themselves], and make a change”.
The song begins on a rather hopeful note, as the singer declares that he is going to “make a change / for once in my life”, which suggests that they have the desire to make a mark in the world–that it is going to “feel real good” to be able to make a “difference”
