  • 2018 Peace Day Song, Audrey M. from France

    My video is about my perception of peace and how be kind can affect people life and your life at the same time.
    I choose to sing because for me a song can bring happiness and truth in a soft way.
    Firstly I choose the song Somewhere Over the Rainbow because for me this song is magical and a little bit lyrical which is great to talk about hard subject, it’s more soft. I choose to speak with irony about American problems in the first place, because I think that this two things affect a lot life of American people, so it seems important for me.
    Secondly I choose an High School Musical song because it’s my favorite teenager movie of all time and this song has for topic love of each other and the fact that we need to help each other’s.
    For me that a good beginning to bring peace in this world.
