    "comment": "It opens with the ambient noise of a party; it's a homecoming for a Vietnam veteran. Beneath the celebration, there's uneasiness.\n\nThe central theme of \"What's Going On\" and the album of the same name came from Marvin Gaye's own life. When his brother Frankie returned from Vietnam, Gaye noticed that his outlook had changed. He put himself in his brother's shoes and wrote a song that stands among the most tuneful works of consciousness-raising in American music.\nEnjoy NPR's \"All Things Considered\"'s feature on this great song: https://www.npr.org/2000/08/07/1080444/npr-100-whats-going-on\n--\nHere's a wonderful live performance of What's Going On\" in 1972: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPkM8F0sjSw",
