"It's What You Value" is a song by George Harrison from his 1987 album "Cloud Nine". The lyrics suggest that material possessions, specifically cars and wealth, are not the true measure of one's value or happiness in life. The first verse introduces a persona who drives a fancy 450 horsepower car, surrounded by wild friends who also exhibit a sense of style. However, the narrator's perspective is different as they have discovered something else valuable in life. The chorus emphasizes that everyone's values and priorities in life are subjective and personal. It is not about the kind of car you drive or the wealth you possess, but rather about the experiences and personal growth you go through to reach where you are. The second verse introduces another character driving a 6-wheeler vehicle, emphasizing the blurred and chaotic nature of their life in the fast lane. Again, the narrator reiterates the importance of personal values over material possessions. Overall, the song conveys a message that the true worth and fulfillment in life are derived from personal values, experiences, and the lessons learned on the journey to finding oneself. It encourages listeners to consider what genuinely matters to them and not to be solely defined by material possessions or societal expectations.
