Good Afternoon girls! Please find below the music clip I showed you on Friday afternoon. I want you to start thinking about how the song relates to the issues specified in your task sheet. The key questions I want you to be thinking about are:
1. What is Bono trying to tell us in his song, "One?"
2. How does it compare to Priestley's message of social responsibility? (Note: provide examples, the more evidence you provide the more credible your response)
This is a really powerful song and i think that it goes really well with An Inspector Calls. In An Inspector Calls they all have a responsibility in Eva's death but yet they seem to blame it on everyone else. In Bono's song this is shown when he sings 'is it easier now that you have someone to blame'. Even though in An Inspector Calls no one actually killed Eva they all had a little part to contribute in her death making it their fault.
ReplyDeleteIn Bono's song it also says 'One love, One life' this shows that it is somebodys love and somebodys life but in An Inspector Calls Mr Birling probably thought of Eva as just another employee who wanted more work and money instead of thinking of her as one's love and one's life. I think this song is a great match for An Inspector Calls and think that everyone needs to listen to the words more closly and understand that one's life is very important.
This is one of my favorite songs because it is so powerful. This song can me so many different things, and it is definitely a perfect song to relate to the play 'When an Inspector Calls'because in the song 'One', the words sung are "We are one, but we are not the same, we get to carry each other.." I believe that this one sentence refers to the entire play because it says that they are one family, but none of them are the same, and none of them have made the same mistake, although they stand together as a family. It also says, "Is it easier now, that you have someone to blame.." I believe that this one line means a lot, because in the play when the family is questioned one by one, and each family member hears the mistakes that each of them have made, they blame each other instead of themselves, however Shelia and Eric tend to blame themselves towards the end of the play, because they are maturing, and realizing there own mistakes and the consequences of their actions. Although no one had actually physically killed Eva Smith, each of the families actions, lead Eva to choose to commit suicide in the end. In this song the key words are "one love, One life" these few words are extremely relevant in not only the play we are reading but in todays society. I believe that what Bono is trying to say with these words are that there is one person who shares there love to the world, but they are only one life, and at any moment that one life can be shattered, and people will lose that that loved one. This song is important to think about, and listen to the words to understand the depth that Bono has put into this song. It is a very relevant song, and has a lot of meaning to each word. I think that the song chosen to relate to the play was chosen well, and thats the main meaning of the song is that, there are always consequences for your actions but instead of blaming other people, act the mature one, and take responsibly for you own mistakes.
ReplyDeleteThis song One by Mary J. Blige and U2, I think sends a powerful message to the audience and is completely relevant to the play An Inspector Calls. For example, the lyric "Will it make it easier on you now? You got someone to blame" I think that this message is obviously directed to every member of the family as they have all done something to Eva which lead her to her suicide. They all blamed one another, except for themselves. The words "One life" in this song sends to everyone that we only have one life and everybody makes mistakes. When each of the family members blame another, Eric and Sheila were the only characters that owned up for their wrongness and blamed themselves. Though towards the end, each member of the family realised that they had noone to blame by themselves and finally realised they had to face their consequences and ctions. The words Bono has used in this song send a strong message to the roles in the book and also to our world today. We may all have someone to blame, we all have one life, one love and we all carry each other but this doesn't mean that we will have each of these things forever. Blaming someone else for what you have done wrong is low but taking responsibility for your own actions and behaviour is being mature. This song sends such a dominant and strong messages. Understanding this song and how it relates to An Inspector Calls, I admit took me a while but by reading the lyrics and trying to understand them, it made me realise that this song was chosen extremely well. I also agree with Caitlin and Jordy's answer.
ReplyDelete'One', we have One Life, One heart to love with, One chance to do what is right. We are only one person, but we are not the same, we have the power to make a change. In this song, Bono is portraying an extremely powerful message, that links strongly with the likes of the play, 'An Inspector Calls'. There are many segments of the song, 'One', that can be used in reference to the underlying messages in the play.
ReplyDeleteThe words 'Will it make it easier on you now? You got someone to blame', stood out to me as something the Birling family could relate to strongly. Each member of that family played a very significant role in the death of Eva Smith, yet they just could not accept the responsibility. It is a reality for each of them that, YES, there lives would be much easier, if they in fact had someone to blame. As soon as they realized the situation had turned out to be a hoax, the majority brushed of any ounce of remorse and humanity they had recently gained, which is an indicator into their personal values and emotional depth.
'You act like you never had love, now you want me to go without.' This segment sounds like it should have been said by Eva to each of member of the Birling family. Each Birling acted as heartless as the next toward Eva, as though each one of them had never experienced kindness or love. The Birling's actions were a reflection on their personal and emotional issues, but happened to be taken out on Eva, for no deserving reason.
'We're one, but we're not the same, we have to carry each other...' Despite the fact that we are all individuals, no two are the same, we all are a united congregation, regardless. And for this world to function, we DO have to carry each other. The Birling's should have been made aware that, despite social hierarchy, race, religion etc. it is our personal responsibility to carry each other through life. You would not get far in life if you had no form of comradeship surrounding you. The world can be a miserable place when you are alone, which is the underlying reason that drove Eva to the edge. She felt she had no one to carry her through life.
'You gave me nothing, now its all it's all I got...'The Birling family gave Eva nothing and that was all she had. She had been stripped of her pride and dignity, taken advantage of and had been mistreated. She died with nothing, because of the Birling's combined choices.
Overall, I believe Bono is a modern portrayal of J.B Priestly. In this song he is voicing the importance of social responsibility and the fact that we have 'One Love, One Blood, One Life'... and we have to do what we should.
That was meant to be the end, but I would imagine that it would be Inspector Goole and Eva singing this. It seems to be relatable to their characters.
I agree with Lisa, the lyrics "Will it make it easier on you now? You got someone to blame." Are the most relevant to An Inspector calls because each member of the Birling family, might not have put their hands to Eva but each one of them is the reason she is dead. As blame is passed on to each member of the family, by the Inspector, blame is also being thrown at each other as each character attempts to deny responsibility for Eva's death. "Did I dissapoint you?" This lyric also relates to the play, as each character, in a different way did dissapoint or cause dissapointment in Eva's life, which was a contributing factor in her suicide. The lyrics in this song are very powerful and relate well to the blaming aspect of an Inspector Calls. Bono is
ReplyDeleteI believe this song “One” and the play “An Inspector Calls” are relevant. The writer, Bono and J.B. Priestly looks as if they are sending a similar message seeing that some of lyrics in the song relates to the play. For example, “Will it make it easier on you now? You got someone to blame” these two lines from the song can be referred to the members of the family apart from for Sheila and Eric, who were the only ones that blamed themselves for the death of Eva Smith, however the rest of the members blamed it on one another as they could not accept the fact that they ruined ones life. The word “One” in this song can be seen in many ways, such as “One love, One life” can be related to Gerald as he had two loves, Sheila and Eva, as a result of that, it had hurt one and the other. In conclusion, it is now proven that this song and play are related in many ways.
ReplyDeleteRelevant, very relevant, that's why you posted it right? Some of the lines of which I find significant are:
ReplyDelete"Is it getting better
Or do you feel the same
Will it make it easier on you now"
You got someone to blame. (inferring how at the end of the book, everyone blamed each other for the accident.)
"Too late
Tonight
To drag the past out into the light"
(relates to the fact that their actions has caused this girl's death and it's too late to change it.)
"Did I ask too much
More than a lot
You gave me nothing
Now it's all I got"
(most relevant to Mrs. Birling's story.)
That's about it... that I can think of~
‘One’ written by Bono- the lead singer of U2, isn’t known as one of the greatest songs of all time merely for its catchy rhythm. This thought-provoking song exploits all kinds of worries in our unjust world, and encourages us to think in a way that we’re not usually familiar with. Bono himself claimed that the song is wholesomely about relationships; delving deeper past Eva Smith’s suicide, I believe that’s what ‘An Inspector Calls’ all comes down to in the end as well. Analysing the song further, I actually think that every lyric relates to the play in some way- whether it be a character or a situation. From my perception, certain verses can particularly designate to certain characters.
ReplyDeleteFor example, when he writes, “You say one love, one life, its one need in the night. One love, get to share it, leaves you darling, if you don't care for it.” I instantly think of Gerald Croft. Although he treated this woman considerably better than the others, at the end of the day, he did still hurt her- and for that, she left him forever.
“Is it getting better, or do you feel the same? Will it make it easier on you now? You got someone to blame.” A quote that I almost feel foolish to mention, as the relevance to ‘An Inspector Calls’ is astonishing; relates to primarily Mr Birling, as he was the first one to get interrogated and the most eager to get out of the mess. Any excuse or reason to blame somebody else or even make himself believe it was a lie, and he’ll take it. As Inspector Goole continues to inspect everyone else, what is Arthur Birling thinking? Is he worried for his family, or is he relieved that he’s not the only one responsible.
“Well it's too late, tonight, to drag the past out into the light.” There is nothing they could do about her death, nothing to help prevent it. It had happened, she was gone. “One love, one blood, one life, you got to do what you should. One life, with each other, sisters and my brothers. One life, But we're not the same, we get to carry each other, carry each other. ” Throughout the whole song, they emphasise on ONE. One beginning, one middle, and one ending. Our lives are like narratives- some end up great, and others horrific. We only get one shot at life, so make the most of it.
This has no real conclusion… but I think I’ve said way too much, and I am exceedingly tired. Goodnight my fellow acquaintances!
meow hahahahaha i like it xD
ReplyDeleteI think this song tells us that we are all different and that we should all help eachother, this is from the part where it says 'We're one, but we're not the same, we have to carry each other...'. This song relates to the play through few of the lyrics. One example is "Will it make it easier on you now? You got someone to blame.” This relates to the book when after they had all been questioned and they realise that the inspector isn't an inspector then they all felt better.
ReplyDeleteI believe that this song and it's lyrics are extremely strong, and sends out a powerful message. It's also very relevant to our book 'An Inspector Calls'. When Bono sings the line 'is it easier now that you have somebody to blame?' ; it reflects on the characteristics of those in the book. All the characters are to blame for Eva Smith's death, yet they feel no responsibility nor fault. Instead, they point the finger at the next person, and are glad that they aren't being blamed. They feel no sense of fault, and are almost relieved at knowing that the inspector wasn't real. This song relates to the play in multiple ways.
ReplyDeleteThe song One has very powerful lyrics. The line 'Is it easier now that you have somebody to blame?' Is relevant to "An Inspector calls" The characters in this play are all to blame constantly pointing the finger at someone else, relieved that the attention is off them. The line 'We're one but we're not the same' is also relevant to the play. They are all one family but the things they did to Eva Smith were not the same. I definitely believe that Bono is a modern J.B. Priestley who tries to get the message out in modern day society about social responsibility.
ReplyDelete‘One’ stands, bearing a resemblance of Priestley’s play, as a poignant indictment of society’s treatment of one another. Although many believe the lyrics are, characteristically, exposed to interpretation, the song is evidently about coming together and ‘societal responsibility’. Through the constant repetition of the term ‘one’ and the lyrics ‘but we’re not the same’ it is apparent that Bono is implying that society must be accepting of others and live as ‘one’ in a harmonious, anti-discriminative fashion. In evaluation of this, the song does not indicate that we must all love one another in a manner in which we are all best friends, but with rather, a respective love that is necessary for the perpetuation of society. This conception is reinforced though ‘one life with each other’ and the earlier stated adversities and the negative questioning in the song (e.g. you gave me nothing, now it’s all I got and ‘Did I disappoint you’) which obviously resulted from the absence of this love.
ReplyDeleteThe use of the term ‘get’ in ‘get to share it’ and ‘we get to carry each other’ (as opposed to 'got') is of great significance, as Bono is positioning his audience to perceive the act of supporting one another and sharing life’s opportunities as a privilege in contrast to an obligation. Through expressions such as ‘You act like you never had love, and you want me to go without’, ‘…all you’ve got is hurt’, ‘you gave me nothing’ and ‘…we hurt each other, then we do it again’ it can be seen that there will always be conflict and injustice in our society which can immensely impact on others; however. Through the lyrics such as ‘one love’ and ‘you’ve got to do what you should’, social responsibility and societal obligation are being conveyed to the audience and encouraged.
As a result of the above, J.B Priestley’s ‘An Inspector Calls’ is exceedingly relevant to the lyrics of ‘One’. As in the song, someone (or a collective body) is being patronised and ill-treated due to the egocentricity of another individual (or a group). It appears that in both the book and this song that the person (or people) have a definite lack of societal responsibility. In ‘An Inspector Calls’ Mr and Mrs Birling and for the main part, Gerald, refused to be held in any way accountable for the death of Eva Smith and found comfort in blaming others. Any attained sense of repentance and self-culpability completely diminished on the detection of a possible hoax (as ‘Vicrim’ said). Emphasis of this lack of social responsibility is seen in the song through ‘Will it make it easier on you now you got someone to blame’ (as many others have already stated).
Additionally, like in ‘An inspector calls’, it is indicated in the song that once the crime has been committed, it is done; the damage has been caused. The song states ‘… it’s too late, tonight, to drag the past out into the light’. The behaviours of the Birlings and Gerald Croft significantly contributed to the death of Eva Smith. No amending actions can be made to raise her from the dead.
Through this brief, yet unfortunately, rather lengthy analysis it can be comprehended that Bono and J.B Priestley are both attempting to successfully convey a message of social responsibility. Therefore, in many ways, Bono can be perceived as a modern day Priestly.
The most obvious lines that my classmates are picking up from the song are “Is it getting better, or do you feel the same? Will it make it easier on you, now you got someone to blame?” As people have said, these lines relate to the Birlings because when the interrogations are concluded and all the secrets are in the open the family starts blaming each other. One thing I noticed was that Mr and Mrs Birling and Gerald start to blame Eric more. Because he made Eva pregnant they believe that is worse than what they have done and start to forget their own parts in her death. This is unfortunately one of the issues of injustice that will never be eradicated. It doesn’t matter where in the world you go. There will always be someone trying to blame other people for doing something wrong even if they have done something just as terrible.
ReplyDelete“Did I disappoint you or leave a bad taste in your mouth? You act like you never had love and you want me to go without.” These lines are also indicative of what the Birlings did to Eva Smith. The only feeling of happiness she ever got came from Gerald and even that was taken away from her. In one way or another they made her feel miserable and worthless. Mr Birling started it and Mrs Birling finished it, by taking the last bit of hope she had left. There are a lot of people in our world who are in this situation. This is because other people who are more successful and well-off do not have the heart to give them a little consideration and aid them in their plight.
“One love, one blood, one life, you got to do what you should. One life with each other: sisters, brothers. One life, but we're not the same. We get to carry each other, carry each other. One, one.” This last verse in particular shows how the Birlings did not do what they should have done by at least accepting that they played a part in Eva’s death. Only Sheila and Eric are able to do this. This is also true and relates to everyone today. No matter what, we should try to do right even if it’s difficult because we always have to “help carry each other” since you never know when you’ll need someone to do the same for you.
I believe the whole song relates to “An Inspector Calls”. These were some of the lines I felt were most relevant.
Sorry about rabbiting on so much. I couldn't help it. It just came out.
ReplyDelete'One' is such a powerful song and is full of lines that can be compared to An Inspector Calls.
ReplyDelete' Will it make it easier on you now, you have someone to blame,' can be said about the majority of the family. They all had a significant part in Eva Smiths death yet they are all prepared to blame each other and take no responsibility. Mr Birling and Mrs Birling especially were saying that they had no responsibility and that it was the girls fault. As Mrs Birling said, "I was just doing my duty."
'You act like you never had love, and you want me to go without.' This line reminded me of Mrs Birling's comment after having heard how the poor girl had died. She grew up with a family of higher class and had all the love and support she ever needed. Yet, when Eva came to her charity asking for help, guidance and support, Mrs Birling turned her away saying, "It's the father's responsibility, ask him," after she just heard that the father was 'young' and 'immature'.
'We're one but we're not the same,' shows to me that each member of that family had a different reaction to the series of events. Mr Birling for example would have been worried about how his business and reputation where as his own daughter, Shelia, would have been horrified and blaming herself for what happened to the girl. It just goes to show how different personalities put a new spin on things.
'You gave me nothing, now it's all I've got.' Mr Birling and Shelia both rid her of her steady income. Gerald was kind to her but in the end had to ask her to leave the only place she had. Eric gave her nothing aside from stolen money, yet she lost her self-respect and pride. Mrs Birling made her lose the very last thing Eva could rely on, hope for the future. All Eva wanted was a second chance at life, yet she was left, abandoned and was pushed to think there was no other way.
'One love, one blood, one life.' We only get one chance at life. We have to make the best of it, but we also have the responsibility to look after each other. We sometimes have to 'Carry each other' through the bad, hard and suffering times. People do get down and need help to be able to realise there is a bright side to every situation.
Both Bono and J B Priestley have the same ideas and have just portrayed there opinions in different genres. We have social responsibility to be there for one another in the good and bad times. It doesn't matter if your not friends you still could do something to help. On a hard day, even just a smile or hello can help that person get through. 'Treat others how you want to be treated.' THe Birlings and Gerald should have put themselves in Eva's position. THey would have wanted help yet they weren't prepared to give.
Although the song 'One' is not an entirely recognised song, its powerful lyrics highlight a problematic issue prevalent in modern society. People must begin to take responsibility for their actions and be prepared for the consequences of those actions. If every single person denied responsibility for their actions and instead pointed the blame at their neighbour, the world would turn into an even uglier and more unfriendly place than it already is. Society often points the blame of all its mistakes on others, these actions have caused tensions and outbreaks in the world, therefore the message Bono is attempting to create highlights the importance and need for social responsibility. The image Bono creates and the message he is trying to convey through the lyrics, portray him as a modern day version of J.B Priestly, highlighting the importance of social responsibility in society.
ReplyDelete“Is it getting better, or do you feel the same? Will it make it easier on you now, you got someone to blame.” In my opinion, I believe these words are most relevant to Bono and J.B Priestley’s message of social responsibility. These words are perhaps the most relevant to the characters in ‘An Inspector Calls.’ Every single character (not including the inspector) had a significant impact in Eva’s life; their actions pushed her to commit suicide. Each character played a role in Eva’s death, yet they deny the responsibility of their actions and instead blame it on someone else, or even worse Eva Smith herself. I believe the reason or part of the reason the characters denied any part in her (Eva) death is because they do not want to carry the guilt or be burdened by the knowing that they were responsible for someone’s death. Instead the character’s (particularly Mr and Mrs Birling) ignore the truth, deny responsibility and blame someone else. These words are very significant in the song, and reflect on both the characters in the book and the issue of social responsibility.
As for the word “One” I believe may be directed at society. We only have one life and need love to nurture us, without love or care for our lives or the lives of others, one day it might (for lack of a better word) ‘pouff’ and we lose it. Eva Smith lived a satisfying and happy life, she never asked for more, but then through the actions of the careless Birling’s her life turned her life upside-down, inside-out. Every time she got knocked down, she’d stand back up, until one day she was rejected when she need ‘love and care’ the most and that was the final straw. As a society we must begin to act like ‘one’ and love and care for one another, otherwise without that what do we have?
p.s I’m running out of time but i would have written more and highlight other important parts of the song!!! :D
sorry about the mistakes!
“One” is an extremely relevant song to the book “An Inspector calls” as both of these sources encourage society to take responsibility for their actions and repent for their wrongdoings.
ReplyDeleteI feel that the phrase “Carry each other” is directed to all the characters however is principally towards Mr Birling, who is perhaps the central focus of Priestley's social scrutiny. He takes absolutely NO responsibility for the impact he made on Eva Smith’s death and as soon as the idea of the Inspector being a hoax appears, he overlooks the incident immediately and continues with his habitual ignorance.
All the characters seem to think that what happened to Eva Smith years ago has absolutely no relevance to her suicide. However, all the characters are proved wrong when they discover that their forbidding actions towards her so long ago made a significant impact on the misdoings that drove her to suicide. ‘Did I ask too much? More than a lot. You gave me nothing, now that’s all I got,’ this verse appears to be seen through the eyes of Eva Smith. The direction of the words seems to be towards all the characters, however primarily leans towards Mrs Birling, who refused to help Eva Smith with her social exclusion, desolation and when she was almost at the end of her tether.
Inspector Goole’s outlook on the whole state of affairs is depicted through several verses including ‘we’re one, but we’re not the same, we get to, carry each other’, as he is acting as their ‘conscience’ and encouraging them to accept responsibility and be remorseful for their corruption.
The phrase ‘we hurt each other, then we, do it again’ explains how certain characters recurrently fail to learn from their previous mistakes and who instead of learning from them continue to take responsibility for only themselves and in that sense, fail to look out for anyone else.
Through the lyrics of this song, Bono is asking us to take not only responsibility for ourselves, but for the people around us or as the lyrics state “Carry each other”. Both Priestley and Bono are encouraging the significance of social responsibility within society and how without it, we would never thrive together as “One”.
I believe that both the song "ONE" and the story "An Inspector Calls" are very similar as both contain a powerful message. The main message is, do we all have social responsibilty? In the song, Bono sings, "Will it make it easier on you now
ReplyDeleteYou got someone to blame " relates highly to Mr Birling. In 'An Inspector Calls' Mr Birling is the first to be question and is definately longing to get out of the terrible situation.
We can also relate the lyrics ' When it's one need
In the night
One love
We get to share it' to ' An Inspector Calls' when they are all converse and strat feeling resposible for Eva's death.
Do we need to stop blaming one person? Or do we need to dig deeper and realise that there isn't anyone to blame but our society.
These to texts definately have some sort of relationship with each other. They both demonstrate and highlight the importantance of social responsibilty.
oops very bad grammer ^ and spelling mistakes
ReplyDeletesorry miss
Powerful is the first word that comes to mind when i think about U2's song "One". It shows us that we should take responsibility for our own actions. It is said in the song that'it is easier now that you have someone to blame". This is true, blaming someone els for something that you were partly or fully to blame for is much easier to do than to stand up and say, "yes it is my fault not someone els'. When you look at what this song has in common with An Inspector Calls, you relies that the characters were blaming other people for Eva Smiths suicide. They didn't stop and think that maybe I was partly to blame for what Eva did to herself. What Bono says about :One Life, One Love' is true you only have one life and only one love, Eva's life was ruined by all of the Birling Family. Arthur just believed that she was an employee and that she was just expendable one, but she wasn't she had One Life and probably One Love.
ReplyDeleteI believe that this song fits really well with An Inspector Calls. They both have strong messages ones you look between the lines.
I think "SUPER ANONYMOUS" is Vyna. Just sayin'. Merely because of the 'xD'
ReplyDeleteHmm...whoever you are, you puncuate well and you must say "just sayin'" in day to day conversation. I wonder who it could be...
ReplyDeleteCHALLENGE...
ReplyDeleteWhoever can tie all four texts-the song, the Saburido clip, the transcript of the tragic incident at the University bus stop and finally 'An Inspector Calls'-into a comprehensive paragraph is a pure genius!
I believe that this song is about the many different problems that we see in modern day society. It relates back to 'An inspector calls' when the family blamed the death of Eva smith on different people than themselves. At first in the book Mr Birling did not want anything to do with this suicide. So then he decided that he would blame it purely on Eva Smith just because she supposedly started the whole strike and therefore it was her fault for getting herself fired. I believe then this links back to the song 'One' when they sing "Will it make it easier on your now? You got someone to blame." As Mr Birling thinks that if he has someone else to blame he can always say it's not my fault. When listening to this song there are some great and powerful words in it. I realy liked this song 'One' from U2.
ReplyDeleteI really like that song and think it is has very strong moral values. The lyrics reflect a lot of the points that Priestley has provident in ‘An Inspector calls’. I think that the meaning behind the song is the same as what Priestley is trying to show- We all one body, we all have responsibility, We all connected.
ReplyDelete“ Is it getting better
Or do you feel the same
Will it make it easier on you now
You got someone to blame
You say...”
These Lyrics relate to how in “An Inspector Calls” some of the characters in particular- Mr. and Mrs. Birling seem to be concerned about the situation about Eva Smith’s death; especially when they are interviewed and accused of their actions however when Gerald tells them that inspector Goole is in fact not a real police inspector they automatically drop any responsibility or care about what happened to Eva. As soon as they are out of the blame, they don’t care what has happened. Also when Eric was blamed as has the main cause of Eva’s death, Mr. and Mrs. Birling place all of their blame upon him. In real life, this is when people refuse to take the blame for a situation and rather let others be prosecuted.
“Too late
Tonight
To drag the past out into the light
We're one, but we're not the same
We get to
Carry each other
Carry each other
One...”
These Lyrics relate to how we are all one community- we all have to help each other and share each other’s blame. In ‘An Inspector Calls’, Mr. and Mrs. Birling fail to see how they are all connected and how they all have contributed to Eva’s death. “It’s what happened to the girl and what we all did to her that matters”- Eric Birling. This quote shows how Eric sees that everybody needs to see their mistakes and how they are all connected.
This song is quite catchy and the lyrics in it are very strong and really made me think about the story behind it. When they say 'Will it make it easier on you now because you've got somebody to blame' I think it relates to the book An Inspector Calls. As the Birling family are all to blame but they try and put the blame on each other rather than just admitting to what they had done and how it related to Eva's death. This song has definitely got many things in common with the book. As the song soon changes and goes on about them being as 'one' and carrying each other. I think it is quite a good song and the lyrics were written really well.
