  2. Huckleberry Finn- Growing Up, by Peter Gabriel • Well on the floor there’s a long wooden tableOn the table there’s an open bookOn the page there’s a detailed drawingAnd on the drawing is the name I tookMy ghost likes to travel so far in the unknownMy ghost likes to travel so deep into your spaceGrowing up, growing up,Looking for a place to liveGrowing up, growing upLooking for a place to liveGrowing up, growing up,Looking for a place to liveGrowing up, growing up,Looking for a place to liveMy ghost likes to travelMy ghost likes to travelMoving inside of your spaceMy ghost likes to travelMy ghost likes to travelMoving inside of your spaceMy ghost likes to travelMoving insideMy ghost likes to travelMoving inside of your spaceMy ghost likes to travelMoving insideMy ghost likes to travelMoving inside of your spaceThe breathing stops, I don’t know whenIn transition once againSuch a struggle getting through these changesAnd it all seems so absurdTo be flying like a birdWhen I do not feel I’ve really landed here • Folded in your fleshy purseI am floating once againWhile the muted sounds are pumping rhythmAll the walls close in on mePressure’s building wave on wave‘til the water breaks – and outside I go, ohOne dot, that’s on or off, defines what is and what is not, one dotTwo dot, a pair of eyes, a voice, a touch, complete surprise, two dotGrowing up, growing up,Looking for a place to liveGrowing up, growing upLooking for a place to liveGrowing up, growing up,Looking for a place to liveMy ghost likes to travel so far in the unknownMy ghost likes to travel so deep into your spaceThree dot, a trinity, a way to map the universe,Three dotFour dot, is what will make a square, a bed to build on, it’s all there,Four dotMy ghost likes to travel so far in the unknownMy ghost likes to travel so deep into your spaceAll the slow clouds pass us byMake the empire state look highAs you take me in your sea-stained sweetnessIt spills, it tingles and it stingsAll the pleasure that it brings‘til the door has let the outside inside here

  3. ANALYSIS • “floating once again”  down the river, the river of life • “a pair of eyes, a voice, a touch, a complete surprise”  finding Jim • “growing up, growing up. looking for a place to live”  river journey • “likes to travel” “so far into the unknown” • There is an open book on the table “and on the drawing is the name I took”  an easy way to make up lies • “In transition once again. Such a struggle getting through these changes. And it all seems so absurd. To be flying like a bird. When I do not feel I’ve really landed here” Huck Finn Website

  4. Tom Sawyer- The Adventure, Angels & Airwaves I wanna have the same last dream again The one where I wake up and I'm alive Just as the four walls close me within My eyes are open up with pure sunlight I'm the first to know My dearest friends Even if your hope has burned with time Anything that is dead shall be re-grown And your vicious pain, your warning sign You will be fine Hey oh here I am And here we go life’s waiting to begin Any type of love it will be showed Like every single tree reach for the sky If you're gonna fall I'll let you know That I will pick you up Like you for I I felt this thing I can't replace When everyone was working for this goal Where all the children left without a trace Only to come back as pure as gold To recite this all Hey oh here I am And here we go life’s waiting to begin Tonight hey oh here I am And here we go life’s waiting to begin tonight Hey oh here I am And here we go life’s waiting to begin I can not live I can’t breathe Unless you do this with me I can not live I can’t breathe Unless you do this with me I can not live I can’t breathe Unless you do this with me I can not live I can’t breathe Unless you do this with me I can not live I can’t breathe Unless you do this with me I can not live I can’t breathe Unless you do this with me Hey oh, here I am (do this with me) Here we go Life's waiting to begin (do this with me) Hey oh, here I am (do this with me) Here we go Life's waiting to begin The Adventure Video

  5. ANALYSIS • “I’m alive”  Tom’s big focus on adventure • “The four walls close me within”  likes to be free, adventurous, outdoors • “You will be fine”  convincing • “Hey oh here I am”  attention-monger • “Life’s waiting to begin” • “I cannot live, I can’t breathe unless you do this with me.”  need for lies, adventure, help from other people Tom Sawyer's Homepage

  6. JIM Click on "Play Sample" The Abolitionist Hymn To the tune of "Old Hundred" We ask not that the slave should lie As lies his master, at his ease, Beneath a silken canopy Or in the shade of blooming trees. We ask not "eye for eye," that all Who forge the chain and ply the whip Should feel their torture, while the thrall Should wield the scourge of mastership. We mourn not that the man should toil; 'Tis nature's need, 'tis God's decree; But let the hand that tills the soil Be, like the wind that fans it, free. The Abolitionist Hymn Sheet Music

  7. Pap- Wait and Bleed, Slipknot You haven't learned a thing I haven't changed a thing My flesh was in my bonesThe pain was always freeI've felt the hate rise up in me... Kneel down and clear the stone of leaves...I wander out where you can't see...Inside my shell, I wait and AND IT WAITS FOR YOU! I've felt the hate rise up in me... Kneel down and clear the stone of leaves... I wander out where you can't see... Inside my shell, I wait and bleed... Goodbye! I wipe it off on tile, the light is brighter this time Everything is 3D blasphemyMy eyes are red and gold, the hair is standing straight up This is not the way I pictured me I CAN'T CONTROL MY SHAKES!How the hell did I get here?Something about this, so very wrong... I have to laugh out loud, I wish I didn't like this Is it a dream or a memory? GET OUTTA MY HEAD CUZ I DON'T NEED THIS! Why I didn't I see this? I'm a victim - Manchurian CandidateI - HAVE - SINNED - BY - JUST Makin' my mind up and takin' your breath awayGOODBYE! 1) Click Play Song 2) Click the 2nd Wait and Bleed Selection

  8. ANALYSIS • “I’ve felt the hate rise up in me”  contempt for society & everyone • “I wander out where you can’t see”  disappearances • “Everything is 3D blasphemy”  defying religion and society • “My eyes are red and gold, the hair is standing straight up”  sign of drunkenness • “How the hell did I get here?”  lost soul, wanderer, crazy, always on the run. • “Is this a dream or a memory? Get the hell out of my head because I don’t need this!”  schizophrenic tendencies? Always too messed up to know real from fake and right from wrong • “I have sinned by just making up my mind and taking your breath away”  hurting Huck, Pap is definitely a sinner in many ways • “You haven't learned a thing, I haven't changed a thing”  tries to teach Huck lessons his way

  9. The River- Washing of the Water, Peter Gabriel Letting go, it’s so hardThe way it’s hurting nowTo get this love untiedSo tough to stay with thing’cause if I follow throughI face what I deniedI get those hooks out of meAnd I take out the hooks that I sunk deep in your sideKill that fear of emptiness, loneliness I hideRiver, oh river, river running deepBring me something that will let me get to sleepIn the washing of the water will you take it all awayBring me something to take this pain away River, river carry me onLiving river carry me onRiver, river carry me onTo the place where I come fromSo deep, so wide, will you take me on your back for a rideIf I should fall, would you swallow me deep insideRiver, show me how to floatI feel like I’m sinking downThought that I could get alongBut here in this waterMy feet won’t touch the groundI need something to turn myself aroundGoing away, away towards the seaRiver deep, can you lift up and carry meOh roll on though the heartland’til the sun has left the skyRiver, river carry me high’til the washing of the water make it all alrightLet your waters reach me like she reached me tonight Click "Preview" for Washing of the Waters

  10. ANALYSIS • “River river, carry me on. Living river, carry me on.”  The river carried the characters throughout their journey • “So deep, so wide, will you take me on your back for a ride. If I should fall, would you swallow me deep inside.” • “I feel like I’m sinking down, thought that I could get along. I need something to turn myself around.”  The river can also be scary, suck people under, prevent them from turning around. • “River deep, can you lift up and carry me. Oh roll on though the heartland ’til the sun has left the sky. River, river carry me high ’til the washing of the water make it all alright .  The river helps the characters in some ways and also it is very beautiful. The river is the path to freedom so the washing of the water will make it alright. • “So tough to stay with this thing ‘cause if I follow it through I face what I denied.”  Covers the regrets Huck and Jim may have had while going down the river. American Rivers

  11. The River Wreck Scene- Another Shipwreck, Status Quo • Another shipwreck, another earthquakeAnother shipwreck, I understand it's time to admitDespite our endeavorsCan't find what ever we lostAnother shipwreck, another heartbreakAnother shipwreck, I understand thatI may never see home againAnother shipwreck, another heartbreakAnother shipwreck, I understand thatI may never see home againAnother shipwreck, another heartbreakAnother shipwreck, I understand thatI may never see homeI may never see homeI may never see home againI woke this morning in a different disguiseI cracked a mirror as I opened your letterScared to lose you but knowing the magicI hear you every day I meet you at nightAnother shipwreck • I woke up this morning in a differentdisguise and I was crying, cryingYou said it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter,it really doesn't matter at allI caught the mirror as I opened yourletter, I was lying, lyingI said it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter,it really doesn't matter at allAnother shipwreck, another heartbreakAnother shipwreck, I understand thatI may never see home againAnother shipwreck, another heartbreakAnother shipwreck, I understand thatI may never see home againScared to loose you but knowing themagic, it was dying, dyingI said it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter,it really doesn't matter at allI hear you every day, I meet you atnight, I see you crying, cryingYou said it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter,it really doesn't matter at allAnother shipwreck, another heartbreakAnother shipwreck, I understand thatI may never see home again Wikipedia Shipwreck Info. (List of Shipwrecks on Page)

  12. Analysis • “I caught the mirror as I opened your letter, I was lying, lying.”  lying robbers, contemplating murder, self reflection (mirror) • “Another shipwreck, I understand that I may never see home again.”  Was more unexpected except for the tied up robber • “I see you crying, crying. You said it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter,it really doesn't matter at all.”  It doesn’t matter, they were just criminals (Huck’s opinion although he felt bad) • “Another shipwreck, I understand it's time to admit. Despite our endeavors. Can't find what ever we lost.”  Many lost objects, many lost memories from the ship • “I may never see home again.”  they ended up dying

  13. Huck Faking His Own Death- Death Song, Choking Victim • I give you money, you give me death.You think it's funny, I gasp for breath. Watch a cop for us today, an opiate, a new decay, your breathing stops this dying day. The big time, it killed Crusty Dave. We're all alone, we miss his heat, and now I feel so incomplete.The death he tasted was so sweet, from womb to tomb, the rotting meat! I give you money, you give me death.You think it's funny, I gasp for breath.I give you money, you give me death.You think it's funny, I gasp for breath. I give you money, you give me death.You think it's funny, I gasp for breath. • You call us barbarians... Eh.It is an honorable name.We mean to cancel the world you civilized people made.We will simply erase history from the time that machinery and weapons threatened more than they offered.And when you die... the last living reminder of hell will be gone.Gone.-Something at the beginning from Omega Man or some other post-apocalyptic movie with anti-technology zombies. Everyday it comes my way in different shapes & forms. Greed, hate & jealousy, the faces it adorns. And though I walk the valley in the shadow of my deeds, consider this, it's always there; the ends to meet the needs.I give you money, you give me death. You think it's funny, I gasp for breath. Tompkins Square is everywhere, it's written on the walls they'll suffocate yer real estate and grab you by yer balls my life is such a living hell, a squatted rotted empty shell no mistakes to learn

  14. Analysis • “You call us barbarians... Eh.”  Huck is uncivilized so faking his death is somewhat barbarian-like • “We mean to cancel the world you civilized people made.Gone.”  Huck wants to escape his cabin imprisionment and Miss. Watson • “Everyday it comes my way in different shapes & forms. Greed, hate & jealousy, the faces it adorns. And though I walk the valley in the shadow of my deeds, consider this, it's always there; the ends to meet the needs.”  People are jealous of Huck’s money, people constantly want to change Huck. He decides to change. • “I give you money, you give me death. You think it's funny, I gasp for breath.”  This seems as if it could be directed towards Pap and his abusiveness • “My life is such a living hell, a squatted rotted empty shell no mistakes to learn.”  Huck feels as if his life will always be unsatisfying so he decides to fake his death and start anew.

  15. Racism- Black Liberation Struggle, Gregory Isaacs Black Liberation Struggle, Song Clip! • OOH YEHA NEW DAWN IS AWAKE UPYET NOTHING IS CHANGED OOHAS FREEDOM WAS ONCE TAKENDON'T WANNA LIVE NO MORE IN CHAINSDATS WHY I CALL A BLACK LIBERATION STRUGGLEI NO GIVE UP THE FIGHT NO NOCAUSE ITS A BLACK LIBERATION STRUGGLEMAN AND MAN UNITEEVERYTIME I OPEN MY MOUTHTHE WICKED YEHJUST TRYING TO GET ME OUTBUT ITS A BLACK LIBERATION STRUGGLENA GIVE UP THE FIGHT NO NO NOOHA ME SAY BLACK LIBERATION STRUGGLEFOR SENSE ALL UNITETHERE MUST BE SOME CHANGE YEHCAUSE JAH GOD TOLD MEN IN TO HIS REIGNDON'T GIVE UPPLEASE LIVE UPDON'T GIVE UPPLEASE LIVE UPI SAID A NEW DAWN IS AWAKE UPYET NOTHING AS CHANGEDUS FREEDOM WAS ONCE TAKENI DON'T WANNA LIVE NO MORE IN CHAINSDAT'S WAT I CALL A BLACK LIBERATION STRUGGLEAND I WONT GIVE UP THE FIGHT....NO NO...FADE

  16. Analysis • “YET NOTHING IS CHANGED. DON'T WANNA LIVE NO MORE IN CHAINS”  The slaves want to be free and want real change. • “BLACK LIBERATION STRUGGLE. I NO GIVE UP THE FIGHT NO”  They blacks will not give up their fight for freedom. • “EVERYTIME I OPEN MY MOUTH, THE WICKED YEH JUST TRYING TO GET ME OUT.”  Its hard not to rebel or get into trouble. • “NA GIVE UP THE FIGHT NO”  Never give up the fight. • “FOR SENSE ALL UNITE. THERE MUST BE SOME CHANGE.” • “PLEASE LIVE UP DON'T GIVE UP” • “YET NOTHING AS CHANGED, US FREEDOM WAS ONCE TAKENI DON'T WANNA LIVE NO MORE IN CHAINS. DAT'S WAT I CALL A BLACK LIBERATION STRUGGLE AND I WONT GIVE UP THE FIGHT....NO.”

  17. Hypocrisy- Ironic, Alanis Morissette • Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you When you think everything's okay and everything's going right And life has a funny way of helping you out when You think everything's gone wrong and everything blows up In your face It's a traffic jam when you're already late It's a no-smoking sign on your cigarette break It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife It's meeting the man of my dreams And then meeting his beautiful wife And isn't it ironic... don't you think A little too ironic... and yeah I really do think... Repeat Chorus Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you Life has a funny, funny way of helping you out Helping you out • An old man turned ninety-eight He won the lottery and died the next day It's a black fly in your Chardonnay It's a death row pardon two minutes too late Isn't it ironic ... don't you think Chorus It's like rain on your wedding day It's a free ride when you've already paid It's the good advice that you just didn't take Who would've thought ... it figures Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids good-bye He waited his whole damn life to take that flight And as the plane crashed down he thought 'Well isn't this nice...' And isn't it ironic ... don't you think Repeat Chorus

  18. Analysis • I decided to choose this song for hypocrisy not only because it is a great song, but also because the definition of hypocrisy is “a pretense of having a virtuous character, moral or religious beliefs or principles, etc., that one does not really possess.” The song Ironic is also very hypocritical because the song is not Ironic at all, it just pretends to be.

  19. The Grangerford & Shepherdson Love Affair- You’ve Got to Hide Your Love Away, The Beatles • Here I stand head in hand,turn my face to the wall.If she's gone I can't go on,feelin' two-foot small.Everywhere people stare,each and every day.I can see them laugh at me,and I hear them say:Hey you've got to hide your love away.Hey you've got to hide your love away.How could I even try,I can never win.Hearing them, seeing them,in the state I'm in.How could she say to me,love will find a way.Gather round all you clowns,let me hear you say:Hey you've got to hide your love away.Hey you've got to hide your love away.

  20. Analysis • “If she is gone I can’t go on.”  although their families can never know, they can’t live without each other • “You’ve got to hide your love away.”  forbidden love • “How could I even try, I can never win. Hearing them, seeing them, in the state I'm in.”  Why would they even try to stay together? Their families will disown or kill them. They cannot win with or without each other. • “Love will find a way. Gather round all you clowns.”  Death ends up being the way Meaning Behind the Song- Wikipedia

  21. The Nonesuch Play- White Rabbit, Jefferson Starship • One pill makes you largerAnd one pill makes you small,And the ones that mother gives youDon't do anything at all.Go ask AliceWhen she's ten feet tall.And if you go chasing rabbitsAnd you know you're going to fall,Tell 'em a hookah smoking caterpillarHas given you the call.Call AliceWhen she was just small.When the men on the chessboardGet up and tell you where to goAnd you've just had some kind of mushroomAnd your mind is moving low.Go ask AliceI think she'll know.When logic and proportionHave fallen sloppy dead,And the White Knight is talking backwardsAnd the Red Queen's "off with her head!"Remember what the doorknob said:"Feed your head. Feed your head. Feed your head" Click on the 30 Next to "White Rabbit"

  22. Analysis • “Go ask Alice.”  the nice girl in the story • “And if you go chasing rabbits and you know you’re going to fall.”  Nonesuch song of Alice and Wonderland. • “When logic and proportion have fallen sloppy dead.”  Nonesuch plays don’t really have proportion and they are definitely somewhat sloppy. • “Knight is talking backwards.” “Queen is ‘off with her her head.’”  The Duke and the Dauphin… royalty connection • “Feed your head, feed your head, feed your head.”  feed the audience’s head with lies

  23. Angry Mob Scene- March of the Witch Hunters, Wicked (sung) It's due to her I'm made of tinHer spell made this occurSo for once I'm glad I'm heartlessI'll be heartless killing her!And the lion alsoHas a grievance to repayIf she'd let him fight his own battlesWhen he was youngHe wouldn't be a coward today!Kill her! Kill the witch! Wickedness must be punishedBrave Witch-Hunters, I would join you if I couldBecause Wickedness must be punishedPunishedPunishedBut good! • Go and hunt herAnd find her And kill her(spoken) Good fortune, Witch Hunters!Go and hunt herAnd find herAnd kill her(spoken) Kill the Witch!Wickedness must be punishedEvil effectively eliminatedWickedness must be punishedKill the Witch! (spoken) And this is more than just a service to the Wizard.I have a personal score to settle with Elph-withThe Witch!

  24. Analysis • I chose this song because it is your typical angry mob scene (pitchforks, burning clubs and all.) In The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, the scene where the angry mob is on the go is very similar to the Wicked scene where the angry mob of witch hunters is on the go.
