People often ask why he never created another socially conscious album when in reality, he SAID IT ALL in this album...

[@stevepafford5501]

exactly. I've said exactly that in my album at 50 feature www.stevepafford.com/whatsgoingon50/

[@AlexAtuh]

Uhh he made in our lifetime ? Y’all not real fans though lol

[@timmy841212]

@@AlexAtuh What are you even talking about? I got the In Our Lifetime album. He was basically talking about nuclear war in one track. I meant for an ENTIRE ALBUM. I call IOL more of an introspective album. But I won't deny he did SOME socially conscious work on it. I meant FULL album, not songs. I'll break it down: 1.) Praise - funky song about God and love 2.) Life Is for Learning - basically breaks down what makes an artist 3.) Love Party - I can argue that there's a social message in it. Like "let's love one another before the world ends" 4.) Funk Me - not a social song 5.) Far Cry - the infamous unfinished track 6.) Love Me Now or Love Me Later - a personal song about good vs. evil 7.) Heavy Love Affair - song about Janis 8.) In Our Lifetime - funky song that mentions Armageddon 9.) Nuclear Juice - instrumental but the title indicates he was thinking about the potential nuclear war Lol "not a real fan"? Please. 😂

[@jamuga60]

Fucking nailed it.............................................this makes a huge statement. Touche'.

[@riyadhrafique8377]

"Mercy, mercy, me!!! Things aint what they used to be!!!"- Things weren't the same in 1971 when Marvin composed this & believe me when I say things aren't what they used to be pre 2020, pre pandemic- a year later, and all of our lives collectively has changed- not exactly for the better (families have lost loved ones, people are struggling to pay their bills, put food on the table- you name it)!!! Times change- or as some people believe, nothing changes, EVER!!!

[@lazarddiankson1400]

Marvin was conscious about the plant 🌎 before it was a trend to think about environmental issues. The man was ahead of his time!! Rest in peace Legend 🙏🏿 ❤

The 1st Earth Day was in 1970. This album came out in 1971. Maybe he thought about putting those thoughts into this song. I'd like to think so.

Will never again have such a man as Marvin Gaye , there will never in my heart be music that touches me deep .

[@TheCassiomarvel]

Sou Brasileiro. Conheço toda a história de Marvin, incluindo os problemas com o pai e sobre a morte dele em 1 de abril de 1984 quando o pai dele o matou. Tenho 44 anos e sempre ouvi Marvin Gaye. A tradução desta musica é linda. Fala de ecologia, de forma atemporal para um cantor famoso da época, diante de tantas musicas com letras polemicas no auge do sucesso dele. Para mim, o que importa é que Marvin é singular, um ícone da musica internacional, é um patrimonio da musica mundial e influencia musical de todos os tempos. Acredito no video, acredito que Marvin nos deixou desta forma, dormindo nos sonhos que ele acreditava e desejava para todos nós. Tenho certeza que Deus sabe escolher as pessoas que irão para perto dele.

Growing up, I remember Saturday mornings when my grandmother would clean the house, the sweet sound of Marvin Gaye playing on the stereo. His soulful voice filled the air, wrapping us in warmth and love. Those moments were so special, and even now, his music resonates deeply with me. It feels like a timeless connection to her, reminding me of the love and joy she brought into my life. Though she's no longer here, her spirit lives on in every note, and Marvin's music feels as relevant today as it did back then. I miss her dearly, but those melodies keep her memory alive

But I didn't know that. I could pretty much walk wherever I wanted @ 5 yrs. We lived two streets below Mountain ave. (The homes there are Still beautiful) Pretty well off I'd say. Anyhow Summertime was definitely the most joyous! Schools out TEACHER! lol. Fruit trees in most every yard, peaches, plums..... I don't know what I was thinking.
