Answer 12

War has always had an impact on music. Look in recent history back to the Vietnam War. Many musicians took a stand and expressed their ideas about what was going on. J.W. Anderson in an article on the internet talks about this era:

Musicians of this generation took the guitar strumming troubadour from the coffee houses, plugged them in, and sent the music and the message into the college dorm rooms and the homes of the youth of America. This generation was not going to sit idly by while the government lied to the people about what was going on in Vietnam. (Anderson, 2009, p.2)

Much like the musicians during the Vietnam War, Mike Shinoda is not the type to sit idly by while the government pushes people around. He took a stand and wrote the song “Hands Held High.”

The song contains many of the elements of a good narrative. The setting is, as we just discussed, the world during the second presidential term of George W. Bush. There are different physical locations that the story takes place: the streets of America, at home with your family, soldiers overseas, countries were the war go on. Basically everywhere that’s affected by the current war is the setting of this narrative.

The narrator of this narrative is singer and songwriter Mike Shinoda himself. The song is in first person. The song is Shinoda speaking what is on his mind. He relates personal examples as well as tells in a critical light what is happening in our country and over in war zones. In the beginning of the song Shinoda says “turn my mic up louder I got to say something… I jump in my mind and summon the rhyme I’m dumping, healing the blind I promise to let the sun in” (Shinoda, 2007). From the start Shinoda tells the audience what he is doing and that he has something important to say. He establishes himself as the narrator.
