Words and pictures combine to deliver powerful messages. However, when we bring music into the mix the emotions and messages we attach to a picture book can change. Consider this image from\u00a0The Red Tree\u00a0<\/em>by Shaun Tan . When we view this image with different music the meaning shifts… <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We Gotta Get Out of This Place by Barry Mann<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We gotta get out of this place<\/em><\/span>
\nIf it’s the last thing we ever do<\/em><\/span>
\nWe gotta get out of this place<\/em><\/span>
\n’cause girl, there’s a better life for me and you<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now my girl you’re so young and pretty<\/em><\/span>
\nAnd one thing I know is true, yeah<\/em><\/span>
\nYou’ll be dead before your time is due, I know it<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With these lyrics we are challenging the girl to move forward, escape.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make You Feel My Love by Bob Dylan<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the rain is blowing in your face<\/span>
\nAnd the whole world is on your case<\/span>
\nI could offer you a warm embrace<\/span>
\nTo make you feel my love<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the evening shadows and the stars appear<\/span>
\nAnd there is no one there to dry your tears<\/span>
\nI could hold you for a million years<\/span>
\nTo make you feel my love<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

These lyrics offer love, support, kindness. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
