Last week, we're tasked to make a music video individually, which should only contain nothing but sound and images. And the sound to be used should be the soundtrack of our life—as to how we'll express our life through song.
Of course, the hardest part of it was to choose what music best suits my life. There are so many beautiful and meaningful songs as choices, and it's really hard to choose from them. One of the things I consider in choosing a song is the beat, I don't want to use a mellow kind of music that you'll get bored if you listen to, I want to consider a slightly up-beat music. And there's one that met my requirements, had been my favorite song since then and the most that suits my life—the song "Breakaway by Kelly Clarkson".
Here's my video, enjoy watching! :DD
You might be thinking that from the very star of the video, I already violated my professor's instruction since the video should only contain sound and images. But the text shewn there is not really in a text format, for it is an image having texts on it, so I think I haven't violated anything so far, have I? I wish I haven't! :D
My sister and I covered Kelly Clarkson's song, so that at least I can tell that the song was mine, though I just borrowed it from her. Credits for her for that. Also, to express my talent. I just skipped the bridge part and finished the song to limit and shorten the video.
I love everything about this song and can express everything through this. It says in the lyrics, "trying hard to reach out, but when I'd try to speak out, felt like no one could hear me...", if you know me by person, you might be wondering why I'm feeling this 'cause I'm an outgoing person and it's not natural for my speech to be ignored, but believe it or not, there are times that I feel I'm ignore and that I'm not heard, and I want to escape from this feeling. It also says there, "wanted to belong here, but something felt so wrong here, so I'd pray." I've always wanted to belong wherever I go, and who doesn't? But if something went wrong, I would just seek help people, or even to our Savior and pray.
There comes the word, "Breakaway". Well, I want to breakaway. Why? For I want to, still, learn from things, from people I know, I don't want to be stagnant for the knowledge I have presently. It says in the song, "I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly, I'll do what it takes til I touch the sky...", everyday, we learn from different things and people we interact with and that's what I want to do. I want to learn how to fly and do what it takes to reach my goal.
And in doing so, I need to, "take a risk, take a chance, make a change...", if I'll just sit and seek help from different people, doing nothing, there's also nothing I'll achieve. I have to work, take every risks and chances I'd have, and make a change from it. Every achievement comes from different trials and challenges, without them, that can't be called achievement.
But of course, without the help of the ones that I loved, I wouldn't accomplish anything. I owe everything to them and very thankful for their presence. That's why I included their photos there—my friends and my family. They help me a lot and inspire me the most. Everything I do is dedicated to them, and I'll never forget them.
"I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly, though it's not easy to tell you goodbye...". yes it's not easy, in fact it's really hard to say goodbye to anyone who meant everything to you, and made difference in your life, but we can't avoid to say goodbye and move on to the next level, stage that we'll go. But of course, we choose not to say goodbye to them, instead, walk with them and go on with life, achieve things together, and breakaway. Breakaway into a better person, and don't look back to your mistakes.
BREAKAWAY! :)
Lyrics
Grew up in a small town
And when the rain would fall down
I'd just stare out my window
Dreaming of what could be
And if I'd end up happy
I would pray
Trying hard to reach out
But when I'd try to speak out
Felt like no one could hear me
Wanted to belong here
But something felt so wrong here
So I pray
I could breakaway
I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
I'll do what it takes ?til I touch the sky
And I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget all the ones that I loved
I'll take a risk, take a chance, make a change
And breakaway
Wanna feel the warm breeze
Sleep under a palm tree
Feel the rush of the ocean
Get onboard a fast train
Travel on a jet plane, far away
And breakaway
I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
Though it's not easy to tell you goodbye
I gotta take a risk, take a chance, make a change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget the place I come from
I gotta take a risk, take a chance, make a change
And breakaway, breakaway, breakaway
