_Laurie_ Posted March 25, 2006 Report Posted March 25, 2006 (edited) Hey all...I'm thinking about making a video for my work...It would involve showing how individuals with developmental disabilites are involved in the community, activites, jobs, and leisure activies at home....songs that would reflect on their abilities to do a variety of things...any ideas?...Thanks Do You Believe In Magic..Lovin Spoonful was one thought...and..I Believe I Can Fly was another Edited March 25, 2006 by Guest
Farin Posted March 25, 2006 Report Posted March 25, 2006 I'm not really sure what you're looking for... I'm still standing ~ Elton John Why not smile ~ R.E.M. Angel ~ Lionel Ritchie "Chariots on fire" or "Conquest of Paradise" by Vangelis "If you want, then start to laugh If you must, then start to cry Be yourself don't hide Just believe in destiny. Don't care what people say Just follow your own way Don't give up and use the chance " Enigma ~ Return to Innocence
_Laurie_ Posted March 25, 2006 Author Report Posted March 25, 2006 yep I think you've got the idea on what I'm lookin for Farin!....If I could get music to go with all the categories, activities such as Sports, Community Involvement, Working...etc...
SoulGirl Posted March 26, 2006 Report Posted March 26, 2006 are you looking for upbeat or slow or both or either? how about 'don't stop me now' by queen?
_Laurie_ Posted March 26, 2006 Author Report Posted March 26, 2006 Thanks SG!...a little of both would be good.
Ken Posted March 26, 2006 Report Posted March 26, 2006 The Youngbloods "Get Together" Love is but a song to sing Fear's the way we die You can make the mountains ring Or make the angels cry Though the bird is on the wing And you may not know why Come on people now Smile on your brother Everybody get together Try to love one another right now Some may come and some may go We shall surely pass When the one that left us here Returns for us at last We are but a moment's sunlight Fading in the grass Come on people now Smile on your brother Everybody get together Try to love one another right now Come on people now Smile on your brother Everybody get together Try to love one another right now Come on people now Smile on your brother Everybody get together Try to love one another right now If you hear the song I sing You will understand You hold the key to love and fear All in your trembling hand Just one key unlocks them both It's there at you command Come on people now Smile on your brother Everybody get together Try to love one another right now Come on people now Smile on your brother Everybody get together Try to love one another right now Right now Come on people now Smile on your brother Everybody get together Try to love one another right now Right now right now
