Music Decisions

Here are my possible song choices for my documentary. I have also chosen my favourite lyrics and the lyrics which relate to the subject.

•Things I’ll Never Say – Avril Lavigne
“Guess I'm wishing my life away with these things I'll never say”

•High School Never Ends – Bowling For Soup
“4 Years you think for sure, that's all you've got to endure, all the total dicks, all the stuck-up Chicks, so superficial, so immature”

•Life After You – Daughtry
“I'm out here alone just tryin' to get home, to tell you I was wrong but you already know”

•It’s Not Too Late – Demi Lovato
“Here I am, feels like the walls are closing in, once again it's time to face it and be strong”

•Once When I was Little –James Morrison
“Yeah I was free more then, I could pretend more then, that this life could only show me good times, once, when I was little”

Cooler Than Me – Mike Posner
“You think you’re cooler than me”

•Firework – Katy Perry
“Baby you’re a firework, come on show them what you’re worth”

Below is a music player with the above songs on.



I have e-mailed all of the artists for copyright permission, however, if I'm only going to use small sections of the song, I should be permitted to do so by OCR.

These songs have been chosen as I believe they can all be related to the storyline. I think using up to date and current songs makes the program more interesting. When watching some documentaries, I listened out for the music and try to see what the song was called, or look at the lyrics. Most of the time, the song was relevant in one way or another. Out of my choices, I think that Cooler Than Me and Firework are the best choices. I think so because they conflict each other. One talks about reputation and having to be much ‘cooler’ than everyone else, whereas Firework is more about becoming someone and not being pulled down by others – being a firework and showing your colours.

  1. Lovely choice of songs. To further your development of ideas, pick say 3 that you will ideally choose and evaluate in more detail the reasons. What made you think about that song? How will this song create meaning in your documentary? Miss Brown.
