“Justice” By Tiffany Lytle

My son is now doing a lot online, and he needs headphones to practice, I found on this site - https://bit.ly/33QjwY5

I found the song impressive, every word is strong and meaningful. Justice is something that any person will want when there is unfairness.

i found this song very interesting and deep. The ruling may have come and people can feel like they achieved what they wanted. However, it took 40 years!!!! It isnt feeling much like justice because it has taken so long…Its so unfortunate and feels horrible to hear how they waited all their lives for this. In the end, it did not live up to expectations as much.

The song was very powerful. I think if it wasn’t for the description, you could still tell what the song is referencing. Based on the title and the lyrics, you can tell right away that she is upset and using her right to respond to an event that has caused her a lot of pain.

Thank you for sharing such a wonderful song! It’s very catchy! As a listen I come to the realization that I’ve yet to hear music from southeast Asian artists in the mainstream who preach about issues pertaining to them. Very much enjoyed this song for more reasons! I hope to hear more music like this from now on.

Thank you for sharing such a powerful song about such an important historical issue. The song is so great on so many different levels. First of all, the lyrics that repeat the lines “Why doesn’t this feel like justice?” directly confronts the issue of the U.S.’s failure to categorize Cambodia as a genocide. Furthermore, the repetition of “justice” in the outro really emphasizes this point, as the artist demands for justice. Secondly, the layers of instrumentation makes this song very interesting. The strong baseline and percussion, combined with the minor key, really gives the song a confident tone with a splash of anger. Really great song!

I am grateful to have came across the song “Justice” by Tiffany Lytle. Not only is it extremely catchy, there is an obvious greater and deeper meaning through the lyrics and words that is significant for the Cambodian community and important for us all especially for other groups that have shared struggles and experiences of genocide and violence that can related to. I am impressed by the artists creativity and choice of portrayal of this message through this way of song and music and it exemplifies the power and possibilities of art forms to move groups of people and spread messages. This shows me how much more of this way of storytelling and politicized critical viewpoints and expression our communities especially the youth need to be exposed to and can be inspired by and use. I share similar accounts with the comments above and hope to see and hear more from Cambodian and Southeast Asian American artists.
