Pole Sport Organization (Canada West) 2019 - Sandy Sani (Bronze)- Dramatic Level 4 Junior/Senior

Описание: Many of Jason Mraz's songs have very powerful lyrics and this was one of them that spoke to me. I picked this one, Love For A Child, for my routine for two reasons. First, I think child negligence is a heavy topic that could reach deep into people's heart. Second, I wanted to challenge myself to choreograph for this casual pop beat/style. It is not easy for this kind of music to be "dramatic".

Please enjoy my interpretation to this powerful poem. Lyrics as below:

There's a picture on my kitchen wall
Looks like Jesus and his friends involved
There's a party getting started in the yard
And there's a couple getting steamy in the car parked in the drive
Was I too young to see this with my eyes?

And by the pool that night, apparently
The chemicals weren't mixed properly
You hit your head and then forgot your name
And then you woke up at the bottom by the drain
And now your altitude and memory's a shame

What about taking this empty cup and filling it up
With a little bit more of innocence
I haven't had enough, it's probably because when you're young
It's okay to be easily ignored
I'd like to believe it was all about love for a child

And when the house was left in shambles
Who was there to handle all the broken bits of glass
Was it mom who put my dad out on his ass or the other way around
Well I'm far too old to care about that now

What about taking this empty cup and filling it up
With a little bit more of innocence
I haven't had enough, it's probably because when you're young
It's okay to be easily ignored
I'd like to believe it was all about love for a child

It's kinda nice to work the floor since the divorce
I've been enjoying both my Christmases and my birthday cakes
And taking drugs and making love at far too young an age
And they never check to see my grades
What a fool I'd be to start complaining now

What about taking this empty cup and filling it up
With a little bit more of innocence
I haven't had enough, it's probably because when you're young
It's okay to be easily ignored
I'd love to believe it was all about love for a child

It was all about love...
