What’s Going On

Hey music lovers! Today, I want to introduce you to a timeless classic that has left an indelible mark on the music industry. The song I’m talking about is none other than “What’s Going On” by the legendary Marvin Gaye.

Released in 1971, “What’s Going On” is the title track of Marvin Gaye’s eleventh studio album. This song holds a special place in history as it was a departure from Gaye’s previous Motown sound and marked a shift towards more socially conscious themes.

The composition of “What’s Going On” was inspired by the turbulent times of the early 1970s, with the Vietnam War, civil rights movement, and environmental issues dominating the headlines. Marvin Gaye, deeply affected by these events, felt compelled to address the state of the world through his music.

The song’s lyrics delve into themes of war, poverty, and social injustice, urging listeners to question the world around them. Gaye’s soulful vocals, accompanied by a lush arrangement of strings, horns, and percussion, create a hauntingly beautiful and thought-provoking experience.

“What’s Going On” had a profound influence on the music industry and beyond. It became an anthem for the civil rights movement and a rallying cry for social change. Its impact continues to be felt today, with artists from various genres citing it as a source of inspiration.

What’s Going On – Marvin Gaye lyrics

🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤

Mother, mother
There’s too many of you crying
Brother, brother, brother
There’s far too many of you dying
You know we’ve got to find a way
To bring some lovin’ here today, yeah

Father, father
We don’t need to escalate
You see, war is not the answer
For only love can conquer hate
You know we’ve got to find a way
To bring some lovin’ here today

Picket lines and picket signs
Don’t punish me with brutality
Talk to me
So you can see
Oh, what’s going on (What’s going on)
What’s going on (What’s going on)
What’s going on (What’s going on)
What’s going on (What’s going on)

Right on, baby
Right on, baby
Right on

Mother, mother
Everybody thinks we’re wrong
Oh, but who are they to judge us
Simply ’cause our hair is long
Oh, you know we’ve got to find a way
To bring some understanding here today

Picket lines and picket signs
Don’t punish me with brutality
Come on talk to me
So you can see
What’s going on (What’s going on)
Yeah, what’s going on (What’s going on)
Tell me what’s going on (What’s going on)
I’ll tell you, what’s going on (What’s going on)

Right on, baby, right on
Right on, baby
Right on, baby, right on
