Songs (If any)

As we have chosen to do an extended advert on child abuse, I thought it would be a good idea to look into existing adverts to see whether music was played in them and what type of music. I found a few songs which I thought the lyrics would be very suitable for this type of advert as sometimes music can be much more powerful than dialogue between the actors.

Casting Crowns; Does Anybody Hear Her

Does anybody hear her? Can anybody see?
Or does anybody even knows she's going down today
Under the shadow of our steeple
With all the lost and lonely people
Searching for the hope that's tucked away in you and me
Does anybody hear her? Can anybody see?


Sarah McLachlan; In The Arms of an Angel

In the arms of an angel
Fly away from here
From this dark cold hotel room
And the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage
Of your silent reverie
You’re in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort there


Martina McBride; Concrete Angel

She walks to school with a lunch she packed
Nobody knows what she's holding back;
Wearing the same dress she wore yesterday,
She hides the bruises with the linen and lace;
oh

Somebody cries in the middle of the night,
The neighbors hear but they turn out the lights;
A fragile soul caught in the hands of fate,
When morning comes it will be too late.



Twinkle, Twinkle

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are.
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
