Gaye used these situations in this hit song is an eye opener. Lyrics lets the connect more to the issue. Using “mother, mother” made it more realistic, as if their son, or brother could be taken away in a blink of an eye.

The lyrics used in the song, hits a lots of people close to home, and makes them wonder if one of their loved ones is hurt by impact on the war and its everyone’s business, not just the governments.
Marvin Gaye’s goal for “What’s Going On” was to tell the United States and hear what he has to say to the country’s views in a peaceful manner and to make the government know that war is not the answer. Violence never solves anything. Marvin
