Marvin Gaye
There’s protest music, and then there’s exhaustion.
Marvin Gaye didn’t sound angry so much as tired of watching the same headlines repeat themselves.
War overseas. Poverty at home. Cities burning. Brothers not making it back.
Instead of shouting, he asked questions.
What’s going on?
The whole album feels like a conversation at 2 a.m., someone staring at the ceiling, trying to understand how everything got this broken.
Soft voice. Heavy truths.
