Song: America • By: Neil Diamond • Album: ‘The Jazz Singer’ Soundtrack • Notes: • Give me your tired, your poor, • Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, • The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. • Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,I lift my lamp beside the golden door! • -Emma Lazarus • These words were written by Lazarus for a fund raiser to build the pedestal of the Statue of Liberty, in New York Harbor. Next to Lady Liberty is what was one of the main points of entry to the United states for immigrants. coming into the east coast. As dramatized in the end of Titanic; as ships sail into New York Harbor, the Statue of Liberty stands as a light house, lifting a light to guide immigrants toward the golden door. I see the golden door as the “American Dream” no matter what it looks like to the changing faces of todays immigrants. From the establishment of this nation, I believe that what makes America great; is the melting pot that we are. As I see it; we are a blend of many traditions, believes, histories, origins—This is what makes America great; the diversity of the many is a great benefit to us all. • The song comes from the 1980 soundtrack of the film ‘The Jazz Singer’. The song was written and performed by Neil Dimond went to number eight on the Hot 100 number one on the Adult Contemporary charts. The song is very much a celebration of the various waves of immigration since the 1900’s to date. The song crosses demographic lines as to being used in political campaigns, 1996 Olympic Promotional ads, a laser light show on a stone mountain near Atlanta Georgia, centennial re-dedication of the Statue of Liberty. • -Utility • What dose the song mean to you?
