Analysis Of A Change Is Walking Come By Sam Cooke

A Change Is Gonna Come A Change Is Gonna Come was an anthem to the black community during the black rights movement. Being filled with heart and soul from top to bottom, the civil rights movement picked up the song very quickly. Sam cooke got inspiration for his song as he listened to other artists (The Unlikely Story of “A Change Is Gonna Come”, 2017). His inspiration was not only from other artists at the time, but through his own personal experiences.
For me, I felt that singing it in a calmer (almost sadder) tone was appropriate. Sam Cooke sings this song big, as he is fighting for a change. I focused more on the hardships and troubling times that they had to go through, but made it light on the phase “A Change Is Gonna Come”; sticking true to how Cooke would keep it. Cooke didn’t ever want to perform this song, and said that to him it sounded like death (Sam Cooke And The Song That Almost Scared Him, 2014). Although cooke did end up singing this song publicly, but only once.

He was born alongside a river that, like him, has never stopped rolling. He’s been run off when trying to see a movie downtown and beaten to his knees when asking for help. He’s had his moments of fear and doubt, but through it all-big finish-he’s nurtured a faith, now a conviction, that change is on the way. (The Unlikely Story of “A Change Is Gonna Come”,
