For me, Piano Man by Billy Joel is a perfect example of a song about the working class without it being communist or anything.
It’s just a song about the regular people at the bar, from all walks of life. A bar is one of the quintessential working class symbols around here in my opinion, and the songs perfectly captures the joys and the loneliness one may find in a bar. The drunks, the people remembering the old days, the party folks, etc. all coming together to have a laugh, a drink and a song. It’s such a cliche song but it always makes me emotional lol.
You guys got any suggestions?
Not sure if this quite fits but I love the track Question Time by Dave. Its just like a 7 minute long rant about how the UK sucks ass. He delves into NHS funding, British imperialism and the Grenfell tower fire. Banging tune. Not really certain what his politics are these days but I love me some Dave, one of the best rappers out there right now
