3 Music Videos

Behind the Wall - Tracy Chapman

This song is about what she experienced. She heard that something happened to her neighbour and quickly call the police, but they didn't do anything. 

In the video, she took her guitar with her to the stage but didn't play the guitar. It's probably because she wanted to make the audience listen to the lyrics and understand them 

Silent all these years - 

The mother was the abuser.
She has a problem but she couldn't tell anyone. 
She is pretending that she is something else. 
She wants to leave but she couldn't go anywhere. 

Pearl Jam - Jeremy
