When choosing music to add to our piece it was quite tricky as everyone had different views on music for certain scenes. As I looked at the lyrics for the song "Chasing Pavements" by Adele and a song called "The River" by Parkway Drive, it seems to me that both songs seem to have a common thing with hope, love and pain. The thing I like about "The River" is that it tells a story through the song, you might not be able to tell due to some heavy vocals however when you read the lyrics you can hear the feel the pain that the person may have felt.
"You were the first, you wouldn't be the last
What the river took, we could never replace
And as the pain set in so did the realisation
You were never coming home
For nights we lay awake
Wishing for answers, hoping against all hope
And if love could change the course of fate
These nights, we move mountains
But as the news filtered down the line, the impact shook us
Shook us to the core
Loss struck like a dagger in our aching hearts"
The lyrics above are from "The River" and I believe that you could make a piece a lot easier with these lyrics as it already has a story, however there could have been a piece based on this song, or it could be how people could cope in situations in which tragic events like this occur.
