The message of the speech is very powerful all on its own.
There is a sense of strength behind the words that is expressed in a way that doesn’t
make the reader/listener feel weak or overrun, but included and empowered. I a
way hope is the most fitting definition of this speech because it gives off the
feeling that we are the masters of our own lives and don’t have to be over
powered by the social conditions of the world.
I think music can make anything more powerful. So often, I
feel that a melody can express raw emotion so much better than words can. That
can be useful in trying to make a situation relatable, the audience might not
understand the event being described in words, but chances are the will
recognize and connect with the emotions floating on a wave of music.
This video gave me chills. The combination of the beautiful harmonies
compelling text felt so raw, so real, and so personal, it struck right to the
core. Usually it seems that things with such power make the viewer’s feel small
and insignificant, but this worked to lift everyone up and give them strength
to keep working at change.
HOWEVER, as great as the combination is, there is a
drawback. So many voices talking/singing at different times and paces was rather
confusing and difficult to follow. The video really depended on the audience
already knowing what was being said, which is not a bad thing, but it does make
it hard for expanding the following.
