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

A boy was bullied in school and was ignored by his mom

Reflection of Second Composition

When we finished our composition, we asked miss to listen to our composed song. She said that there was another method involved which is minimalism. Tanya and I were quite surprised though. Miss was satisfied with our music and we were very happy. We are the only group who used all the methods. So our 2nd composition involved Cipher and Minimalism. We listened to our composition again and did some research about minimalism.
