Can anyone tell me the context in which this song displays belonging? Much appreciated

Good luck with doing a song as your related text!

I personally would never do one as it's hard to analyse... but anyway here's what i've thought of after listening to it:

** It is an epic song
** An individual might blame themselves for not belonging
** An individual will feel isolated and hurt if they do not belong
** When they do belong, it is not as great as they thought it was
** An individual cannot belong until they accept themselves for who they are (they need to let go of their skepticism/negativity in order to belong)

In terms of techniques, the strong beat could suggest frustration or something along those lines.

I hoped i helped :)

I don't think this would be a good material to use.

Yes, it incorporates some aspect of belonging but hardly. There isn't depth of knowledge that you can delve into and you will see great lack of techniques to talk about.

Thanks heaps to annabackwards, that helped alot

I think it actually is a great text to use for belonging. After analysing it thoroughly it is good material.

But yes, more help would be appreciated thanks :D

Just because the song has the word "belong" in the title does not mean it's going to be a good related text.

Choose something else.
