Burial: Hiders

I really like this piece of music, I feel as though it would work really well amongst our piece. I can see potential to use it as backing for a perhaps physical theatre piece, perhaps a movement piece highlighting numerous relationships. We are planning to reflect an old aged couple, that I think this piece of music would pair with well, as we could really explore the definitive movements of an older adult, through the way they walk and the way they stand. For example an older aged gentleman may walk with their back bent a little over and with jittery legs due to an old age related illness such as arthritis, they may also have a walking stick to hold themselves a little steadier. Because we are all young adults it will be interesting to explore this type of physicality.

Additionally I think this piece of music may be interesting to use maybe at the end of the piece to tie all of the loose ends and in some may highlight that all of the relationships that we have explored have some similarities. Furthermore, I very much like how the piece varies in pace, which I think will highlight and reflect how we explore highs and lows throughout the piece. The piece of music has moments of silence and of voices speaking, which I think will intrigue and push the audience into perhaps reflecting on highs and lows of the piece as well as perhaps their own personal relationships, which will hopefully provoke some sort of emotional and empathetic response.

Lyrics

"There's a kid somewhere..."

you are the sun and lights 
the sun and lights that come

i adore you
i will always protect you
always protect you

you are the sun and lights
the sun, and lights that come
don't give up. don't give up.

you don't have to be alone!

and you are the sun and lights
the sun and lights that come

"come down to us."

The lyrics of this piece talk about supporting on another saying "don't give up, don't give up" which I think supports our piece well, as although characters in this may seem cut throat at times they are always there for each other.
