Key Points:
- Amy Grant has released a new original folk song titled "The 6th of January (Yasgur's Farm)" that reflects on national division and appears to reference the Jan. 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol riot alongside the idealism of the 1960s.
- The song contrasts the hopeful spirit of the late 1960s—highlighting figures like Marvin Gaye, Martin Luther King Jr., and the Woodstock festival—with the symbolic break marked by the events of January 6, suggesting a loss of direction in America.
- Grant's lyrics encourage listeners to adopt others' perspectives and emphasize collective understanding as a path toward healing amid societal unrest.
