Look at the lyrics, what is the theme of these songs? How is this theme treated in each song?

Think about the order of the songs, why did I play them in this order? What do these songs show? How did people feel about the war in Vietnam?

We listened to songs to first see the theme and the references and try to understand the aim

We took a closer look at the lyrics of the song
