In this assignment I chose Ludovico Einaudi's Elegy for the Arctic. Below is a video of my presentation.

This clip imitates the Titanic, but now the hug is not Rose, the Earth is now the love of his heart. Because the final commercial proceeds of the song will all be donated to the "Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation", such an important figure must make a grand finale appearance.

 MUSI 3041 Assignment 6 Song: All the Good Girls Go to Hell -- Billie Eilish Chong Tsz Yen Hayley 3035805497 Script: "All the Good Girls Go to Hell” is a song by American singer-songwriter Billie Eilish and was released on September 6, 2019. The song portrays a conversation between God and the Devil, asking each other questions like “What is going on? Why did humans do all this”. The music video serves as an endorsement of Greta Thunberg’s Climate Strike. At the beginning of the music video, Eilish sprouts a pair of white wings. Instead of flying around, she falls down from the sky and lands on the ground into an oil spill. The fallen angel represents an angel who rebelled against God and was exiled from heaven, just like how humans destroyed the once beautiful nature and now has to live in a world where it is polluted and devastated. She tries to break free, but it's a major struggle. She can barely walk out of the oil spill, let alone fly. Just like birds that are trapped in

                     Song Name  -《A true story》                                                                           This is a Chinese pop song called "A True Story"  A girl named Xu Xiujuan loved the cranes so much that when she graduated from college, she returned to her hometown and worked hard to protect them. One day in September 1987 she found out that the two tanager cranes she had raised did not return home before dark, and she fell into the swamp and died trying to find them. She was only 23 years old at the time. This beautiful girl was called "China's first martyr of environmental protection" by the state. This is a 1990 song sung by Zhu Zheqin. This song uses a narrative approach, writing the story as lyrics and arranging the music. The style of this song is very bleak and sad, and the composer tells the beginning of the story in a narrator's voice at the beginning, then leads to the melody of the song, making the narrative feel of this song

 Truth To Power----OneRepublic Yunrui Zheng Script: Right now, we are facing a man-made disaster on a global scale, climate change. The disconnect between awareness and action seems to get wider and wider with each passing year. So today, I want to introduce a protest song by OneRepublic , Truth To Power , which intends to advocate for environmental awareness and inspire us to take action. Minutes turn to hours, hours turn to years, and I've seen truth turn to power. Truth To power , is an original pop song written for the film, “ An Inconvenient Sequel, Truth To Power ”. From my perspective, “Truth To Power”, is actually "Speak truth to power". The "speaker" is the "earth" and the "power" is the "human". So it actually was written from the viewpoint of Mother Earth, how she sees us and how our actions affect each other and the planet. It is ultimately a call to action, expressing that the truths that humans have been unwilling to
