4-1 Discussion: Wellness in the Media
Hello class,
I chose the song "Fly Again by Kevin Gates. In this song, Kevin Gates talks about some
of the struggles he has gone through in life, yet he keeps love in his heart. That even through
everything, he is still a spiritual being and is close with God. He moves on to talk about his wife
and how they have always been close. Even through the rain and pain, he will get through it and
learn to fly again. He moves on, talking about his wife and their true love and how it will save
them both.
This song relates to many aspects of wellness. It talks about how Kevin has been through a lot
emotionally, and he is going to use his spiritual wellness to fix his emotional wellness. This song
shows just how vital Kevin's spiritual wellness is in his use of imagery to convey his spiritual
outlook. Kevin also turns to his relationship and how he is going to fix it, which is also fixing his
emotional wellness.
"Fly Again" is a very spiritual song, so that may have brought up some controversy. The biggest
social implication that I can find is that not everyone will agree with Kevin's outlook on his
spiritual belief. He is Muslim and there are so many people in America that actively hate on
Muslims and their belief system.
