Term 2 Task 1 Musical/Rhythmic

I have decided chose a song called nothing else matters by david garrett.
The link is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jExZz0wTgi0&feature=related
I chose Nothing Else Matters as i think the slow tempo song and the slow base makes the song perfect with the first five chapters of the story.I think that the slow speed song can really bring out the misery the children Hari, Lila, Bela and Kamal are living in, with a sick mum and drunken dad and at the end of the story the death of their favourite dog Pinto. I hope you will enjoy the song.

I have also decided to change the lyrics for the first verse of a song by linkin park call "Hands Held High"
The link to the song is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jQ0njClBKI
The original lyrics for the first verse is (i am sry that there are some vulgars in the original song):

Turn my mic up louder I got to say something
Light weights step to the side when we come in

Feel it in your chest the syllables get pumping
People on the street they panic and start running

Words on loose leaf sheet complete coming
I jump in my mind and summon the rhyme, I'm dumping

Healing the blind I promise to let the sun in
Sick of the dark ways we march to the drum and

Jump when they tell us that they wanna see jumping
**** that I wanna see some fists pumping

Risk something, take back what's yours
Say something that you know they might attack you for

Cause I'm sick of being treated like I have before
Like it's stupid standing for what I'm standing for

Like this war's really just a different brand of war
Like it doesn't cater the rich and abandon poor

Like they understand you in the back of the jet
When you can't put gas in your tank

These ******* are laughing their way to the bank and cashing the cheque
Asking you to have compassion and have some respect

For a leader so nervous in an obvious way
Stuttering and mumbling for nightly news to replay

And the rest of the world watching at the end of the day
In their living room laughing like "what did he say?"

I have change to:





Turn my mic up louder; I got to say something
    We hide in our bed when dad is comin   
Feel it in my chest, the syllabus pumpin
Siblings in the house, they panic and start runnin

Words on loose leaf sheet complete comin
I jump on my mind, I summon the rhyme I’m dumpin
Healin’ my mum, I promise to earn money
Heart filled with worries, suffer from poverty

Give when they tell us they want to see rupees
Why us! I want to see some understanding
Think again, go find our dad
Try pleadin though you know they might attack Pinto

Cause I’m sick of being treated like I have before
Like I’m good-for-nothing? For what I’m livin for?
Like my life’s really just a different brand of life
Like it only cater to rich and abandon the poor

Like they understand you back in your puny house
When you’re trying to make two ends meet
These people are laughing their way about your dad
And wantin more beer
Askin you if you’ve inherited the drunkard traits

For a guy so helpless in an obvious way
Helpless and frustrated for being in such a mess
And followed the rest of the people at the end of the day
People laughed at home like, “why did he go?”


I hope you have enjoyed the two pieces of music
