Music and Lyrics (Choice 1)


Long Nights :Have no fearFor when I'm aloneI'll be better off than I was beforeI've got this lightI'll be around to growWho I was beforeI cannot recallLong nights allow me to feel...I'm falling...I am fallingThe lights go outLet me feelI'm fallingI am falling safely to the groundAh...I'll take this soul that's inside me nowLike a brand new friendI'll forever knowI've got this lightAnd the will to showI will always be better than beforeLong nights allow me to feel...I'm falling...I am fallingThe lights go outLet me feelI'm fallingI am falling safely to the ground.


The main idea of the song 'Long Nights' that relates to Chris basically shows that even though Chris had to overcome a lot of struggles to be able to survive for the amount of time that he did, he enjoyed his time. The fist line of the song ; ' Have no fear For when I'm alone I'll be better off than I was before. This is a way to comfort those who were worried about Chris by telling them to have no fear is like telling them not to worry about any of the struggles that Chris went through. I think when the song talks about being around the light and the light going out it is either a metephore for when day turns to night or when Chris reaches death. When the song talks about falling I think it means that he is becoming weaker and weaker. I think the songs for the movie were chosen really well, because they were either written for the story or they just connect really well to it.

  1. The idea of comfort for others is a significant link Taryn, as well as the connections to the stages of his journey.
