Whenever I hear it, it reminds me of the movie "Malcolm X" because it is played right before the assassination scene, where somehow you get the feeling that Malcolm knew he was gonna die that day...that was some deep stuff...
I always listen to it when i'm frustrated with my life or having a rough period.  That scene in Malcolm X was the first time I heard the song. It is such a poignant scene and I think the song fits it perfectly. I absolutely love Sam Cooke... You Send Me is another one of my favorite songs by him. Haven't heard any other versions of Change Gonna Come, but somehow, even it I do, I think I'll always prefer Sam's.The check. The string he dropped. The Mona Lisa. The musical notes taken out of a hat. The glass. The toy shotgun painting. The things he found. Therefore, everything seen–every object, that is, plus the process of looking at it–is a Duchamp. | |
