Right now in GT we are making music videos! This is our last project for the year! My favorite song lyrics are from the song How To Save A Life by The Fray. I really like this song because it is about how to let someone know that something is wrong of if they are having problems. The band wrote this song because they went to a place for troubled kids and they met a boy who had no friends and everyone that tried to help him approached him by saying, "Quit taking drugs and cutting yourself or I won't talk to you again," but all he needed was some support. My favorite lyrics from it are, "Drive until you lose the road or break with the ones you've followed." I feel like these lyrics are very powerful. |
The people on my team are Eden, Ashley, and Denae. The song that my group picked is called Never Gonna Give You Up by Rick Astley. You might not have heard of the song before because it came out in 1987. If you want to listen to the song, you can click here. You might be wondering why a bunch of 6th graders have heard of the song, but I guess you could say that the song is pretty catchy and many kids today have heard it before. We picked it because we think that it is very catchy and is a good song to dance to with a fast beat. We thought that it would make people laugh if they saw us dancing to it. We didn't really want to pick a newer song because a lot of the teams were picking newer songs and we wanted to be different.
The whole story of the song is about a guy that likes a girl and is saying about how he will always be there for her and that she can rely on him. In their music video, it is just a bunch of people dancing and singing. Our music video needs a story, but we didn't want to make it about a boy liking a girl because our team is all girls. So our solution is to make it about how people have a hard time letting go of their childhood toys. In the beginning, Ashley is playing with her toys and Denae brings a box over that says 'donation' on it. Ashley gets mad because she doesn't want to give her toys away so she throws the box. In the middle, it shows all of us lip syncing with stuffed animals and hugging them because we don't want to give it away. In the end, it shows Ashley putting the toys in the box and looking sad.
