 |
|
I'm trying to find a few songs that have music videos in the form of a story to use in class.
For example, The Scientist by Coldplay (and is cool cuz it goes backwards) is exactly what I am looking for but I used it last year.
Preferably the lyrics are fairly slow, easily understood, and suitable for class. 
Can anyone remember videos like this??
Thanks. |

Mr. Morton is the subject of the sentence....old School of Rock video and it has textual support as Mr. Morton falls in love.......
Really rocks and you can find it in our pop up player for EFL Classroom 2.0 along with hundreds of other videos... but go directly here for it, in our vimeo young learners videos.... http://www.vimeo.com/album/753

The video quality of that sucks! If you are going to use video in the classroom, at least support it with text and let the learning start from there. They can get other tunes outside of class. Here's the EFL version I made....

Billy Talent -- Nothing to Lose
I think you can stream the video from the group's website.
Basically, it's about a kid who was bullied and no one noticed or cared. Eventually, the torment led to suicide and the lyrics are the note that was left behind.
Not really cheerful, but it can lead to good discussions of some major issues at schools everywhere.
Lyrics:
Need more friends with wings
All the angels I know
Put concrete in my veins
I�d always walk home alone
So I became lifeless
Just like my telephone
There�s nothing to lose
When no one knows your name
There�s nothing to gain
But the days don�t seem to change
Never played truth or dare
I�d have to check my mirror
To see if I�m still here
My parents had no clue
That I ate all my lunches
Alone in the bathroom
There�s nothing to lose
When no one knows your name
There�s nothing to gain
But the days don�t seem to change
There�s nothing to lose
My notebook will explain
There�s nothing to gain
And I can�t fight the pain
Teacher said it�s just a phase
When I grow up, my children
Will probably do the same
Kids just love to tease
Who knew it'd put me under ground
At seventeen
There�s nothing to lose
When no one knows your name
There�s nothing to gain
But the days don�t seem to change
There�s nothing to lose
My notebook will explain
There�s nothing to gain
And I can�t fight the pain
There�s nothing to lose
When no one knows your name
There�s nothing to gain
But the days don�t seem to change
There�s nothing to lose
When no one knows your name
There�s nothing to gain
And I just died today |
