In 2014, it came in at number three on Rolling Stone‘s readers poll of the best protest songs. (Robert Plant also cut a version with his pre-Zep band, Band of Joy.) Public Enemy even sampled it on 1996’s “He Got Game.”Īccording to BMI, the song’s publishing house, “For What It’s Worth” been played 8 million times on TV and radio since its release.
The Staple Singers were among the first to cover it, in 1967, but since then, it’s been recorded by a mind-bendingly diverse number of acts: Ozzy Osbourne turned it into a grim stomper, Lucinda Williams into a ghostly ballad, Kid Rock into a classic-rock homage, Rush into a swirling soundscape, Led Zeppelin (in live bootlegs) into languid blues. If you can just praise your way though give God Thanks in the midst of the tears because It Ain't Over He Got You and what he is doing in your life right now that you can't see is marvelous.“For What It’s Worth” has transcended its origin story to become one of pop’s most-covered protest songs – a sort of “We Shall Overcome” of its time, its references to police, guns and paranoia remaining continually relevant. God will never leave you nor forsake you. This is a time to believe that although you can't see it and you've cried many nights and no one knows the pain, the frustration know this too shall passed. Be encourage because this is not the end. You're tired of people, tired of always messing up, seem like you are always on the back end of a blessing coming your way. The diagnosis the Doctor gave you, You always angry, you have no peace, don't know how the bills are going to get paid. Those children that you've been praying to be saved to come out of the streets. That marriage that seems to be on the break of divorce.
That promotion you've been waiting for will never take place.
The family will never get past things that they said to each other or did to each other. Sometimes in life things happen that make us feel we will never accomplish our dreams. Wanna move ahead but you're still last in line
