In Lincoln's 1863 address, the late president said those who died at the Battle of Gettysburg "shall not have died in vain - that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom - and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish."Īn estimated 750,000 died in the Civil War. And how that was becoming very divisive, and how clickbait became this new way of selling or getting your media out there." How things were being presented in this glass box here from certain media outlets. The singer further illustrates, "It kept getting more intense with how people were viewing each other. Let's talk about what it's gonna be like when we come out of it.' We were trying to do that, but it just kept getting more and more intense … with the virus." Smith says, "When we were asking that question to each other, like, 'Let's talk about after we come out of this. Still, the realities of the pandemic continued to butt against their ambition.

He used it in the Gettysburg Address to refer to a "government of the people, by the people, for the people." President Abraham Lincoln during the Civil War. It's the freedoms of the individual from a global standpoint."įor the people, by the people is a colloquial paraphrase taken from a quotation famously coined by U.S. I'm not even talking about just in when I say a statement like that. "In the most point-blank way I can say it, this album was written for the people, by the people," Smith - pictured above at far right - explains. ![]() Watch the full interview near the bottom of this post.
