Why can this song be classified as a protest song? What is it portesting?
This song is protesting against all the pain that Haiti had gone through during the earthquake. Its protesting how some people lost their everything, lost their homes, parents, and went into poverty. You can tell all these artists care about this disaster because of how they got together to protest this event through a song. The song gives us hope to keep standing and do all we can to help bring everyone in Haiti together again.
What is the tone mode of this song?
The tone of this song is very hopeful and opptimistic because when the lyrics and music is put together, its very hopeful and tries to get us to believe in the future. It protrays the fact that een though tragedies happen, you can't let them hold us down, and we can reach out and always find a way out of problems. It's a very hopeful and strong song.
Why did you choose to do this song? Why did it attract your attention/or why do you like it?
I choose this song because it's really sweet and comforting. When you think of it, it's really sweet that a bunch of artists got together in their own time and put together a song about Haiti. The lyrics also come to me as an explanation of life or to never give up. All together, this song is one I'd want to listen to to give em hope or just to know that our society and world cares about these kind of events.
How does the music video help get the protest message across?
Music Video
The music video helps get the message across because of all the pictures and videos of the destruction in Haiti that come inbetween the singers. It really catches your attention when you see how much damage the earthquake really did. You get a urge to want to watch more of the video, but people also watch this video because a lot of famous singers are in it.
