What A Wonderful World -Louis Armstrong

[isaacsoriano]

The colors of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces, of people going by
I see friends shaking hands, sayin', "How do you do?"
They're really sayin', "I love you"

I hear babies cryin', I watch them grow
They'll learn much more, than I'll ever know
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world


Meaning: this song shows the improtance of nature by highlighting points of nature's vast beauty. not only dose it show the things we always think of as nature but it puts us in it becuse we are also a part of nature varying like the colors or the rainbow. in this song he is sing of what he is viewing inviting us to joing in to this wounderful world

I agree with you completely Isaac, this song is certainly a very well known classic, because of its enjoyable and personal description n of nature. I especially like when he mentions he enjoys "trees of green, and red roses too" because they remind him of the beauty of life and the place we live in. It is truly a transcendental song.

Interesting song and definitely transcendentalist with the talk about nature. I think that this is stressing the beauty of nature not so much a reason for why this is an importance of nature for example he says "I see trees of green, red roses too I see them bloom, for me and you And I think to myself What a wonderful world" giving support to why the world is so great but no reference to an importance. Another example is "The colors of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky" another reference to the beauty but not of the importance. I see where you come from with how people are part of nature but people are suited to society like a wolf is suited to a pack, so I felt like Louis was also talking about his love for other humans and a importance of peace and compassion.

[hectorperez]

I agree Isaac, the writer of the song describes some beautiful aspects of nature. By generalizing babies crying and the fact that they will learn, perhaps he is saying that all people start off the same and, like you said, we become varied like the colors of a rainbow, individuals.

I was so going to use this song >:\
Through nature, Louis Armstrong was able to show that the world is wonderful, and that life is a beautiful thing.

[leslierios]

I agree with you isaac, the song "what a wonderful world" shows the importance of nature because it describes nature and how beautiful it is.

[rafael]

i agree isaac, i like that you pointed out how he touches on some unconventional beauties of nature.

[cesarherrera]

I always found this song to talk more about society and people then nature. Like you pointed out
"The colors of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces, of people going by
I see friends shaking hands, sayin', "How do you do?"
They're really sayin', "I love you"

I hear babies cryin', I watch them grow
They'll learn much more, than I'll ever know
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world"
He seems to be comparing nature to people, not people to nature. He talks about the development of people. He says roughly: "hey, nature is pretty like us humans."
