Utopian songs are songs that describe an ideal society (for example where there is freedom from hunger, inequality, violence, sickness and where people pursue happiness, fulfillment and mutually supportive community life). A distopia, technically, is a utopia that has gone horribly wrong, at least for a segment of the population. For example the US was founded on the utopian principles of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, yet enslaved Africans and committed genocide against Native Americans. Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness have been more accessible for straight, white, christian men (as a group) than for everyone else and we can see the current vast economic inequality between the 1% and the 99% as distopic.

Here are some songs that describe an ideal society:

Big Rock Candy Mountain (Traditional),

Dreamland (Bunny Wailer),

Funky President (James Brown),

I'll Take You There (Staple Singers),

Imagine (John Lennon).

Somewhere Over the Rainbow (Judy Garland, Israel Kamakawiwo`ole),

Yes We Can (Allen Toussaint, The Pointer Sisters)
