I have chosen this because:
I have listened to this song a few years back, but it really impacts me when I saw movie named Joker and this song is included in some scene. It felt it really connect to me and my favorite character in the movies during the scene. The lyrics of this is talk about person which faces a difficulty in life and how many times he fails doing something, he still fights tills the end even though he fails again. So, in listen to this song always make me realis that everyone life in not perfect and everyone had faces difficulty in their life. To myself this song means a lot to me because I fails a lot in my studies and did received good grades or feedback from school when I was young, then its give me some inspiration for me to try my best for studying even though I fails again in the ends.
Hi Aum,
This is an interesting choice and a classic song!
You have done well to find the information about the writer and performer – just be careful, because the date it was recorded might be different to the date it was first created (in this case, Frank Sinatra first released it in 1966 even though he made lots of different recordings of it over the years). I like the way that you discuss the use of the song in the film ‘The Joker’ and how the lyrics relate to the emotional state of the character – although you could have developed this even more – at what point in the film do we hear the song? What happens in the scene? Why is the song a great match for that scene?
I’m glad you find the song inspiring – keep going!
