Odly Prophetic Songs

[rambo919]

I have through the years come across music that seems jarringly foresightful, could just be history repeating itself or the artists seeing shadows of something coming or over-interpreting but it could be as if the songs were written today.

In particular I am now thinking of:
[1985] Mike + The Mechanics - Call to Arms https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/mikethemechanics/acalltoarms.html
[1977] Kansas - Sparks of the Tempest https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/kansas/sparksofthetempest.html
[1973] The Kinks - Nobody Gives https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/kinks/nobodygives.html
[1979] The Kinks - (Wish I Could Fly Like) Superman https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/kinks/wishicouldflylikesuperman.html

EDIT: Yes I know I'm reaching a bit with the last one.
