Analysis Of George M. Cohan's Song 'Over There'
“Over there” was a song written by George M. Cohan's, and song by Enrico Caruso on the steps of the New York Public Library. After finding out that Germany declared war on the U.S Cohan decided to write a song. This song to believed to stand as an artifact of a more innocent time. The song was adopted by the men of the American Expeditionary Force as their favorite marching song and was soon known as the greatest wartime propaganda songs.
From my understanding “ Over There” was a song to describe the “ war life” and the preparation for it. The song inspired men that were sent to war, and as well their loved ones that were waiting for them to return home. Many families were worried about the war but this song helped them cope.
