▶️ Watch on 3Speak

Hello everyone, Greetings and blessings. Allow me to introduce myself, I'm Zein Grind from @indonesiabersatu. I am delighted to participate in the Vibes Web3 Music Competition, now in its 18th week. Today, I performed a cover of the song "Macy's Day Parade" by Green Day.

In this song, Green Day references the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, an iconic American consumer event. I really admire this song because it holds deep lyrics and messages about consumerism and materialism in society. To me, this song serves as a warning about the dangers of the consumerist culture that increasingly impacts our values in life.

Consumerism and materialism can have detrimental effects on society, such as triggering unhealthy competition, increasing levels of anxiety and depression, and distorting the true meaning of happiness and satisfaction. The escalating culture of shopping and material possessions has ensnared many individuals in a cycle of dissatisfaction and unending disappointment.

The song "Macy's Day Parade" calls for a reevaluation of the values that are truly important in life, away from the hustle and bustle of materialistic pursuits. The critical message from Green Day reminds us of the importance of returning to the essence of true life, where happiness is not measured by how much we own but by the meaningful relationships we have with others and the world around us.

Macy's Day Parade Lyrics

Today's the Macy's Day parade
The night of the living dead is on its way
With a credit report for duty call
It's a lifetime guarantee
Stuffed in a coffin, ten percent more free
Red-light special at the mausoleum

Give me something that I need
Satisfaction guaranteed to you
What's the consolation prize?
Economy sized dreams of hope

When I was a kid I thought
I wanted all the things that I haven't got
Oh, but I learned the hardest way
Then I realized what it took
To tell the difference between thieves and crooks
Lesson learned to me and you

Give me something that I need
Satisfaction guaranteed
'Cause I'm thinking 'bout a brand new hope
The one I've never known
'Cause now I know it's all that I wanted

What's the consolation prize?
Economy-sized dreams of hope
Give me something that I need
Satisfaction guaranteed
'Cause I'm thinking 'bout a brand new hope
The one I've never known and where it goes

And I'm thinking 'bout the only road
The one I've never known and where it goes
And I'm thinking 'bout a brand new hope
The one I've never known
'Cause now I know it's all that I wanted
