Please Don T Drink By John Jaman Analysis

1. Hold On: Chord Overstreet In my movie, the Colonel ends up passing away from an illness he kept from his family. As he starts to fade away this song starts to play. “Hold on, I still want you, come back, I still need you.” those words correlate to Jamie’s thoughts as the Colonel starts to die.
2. Please Don’t Go: Joel Adams This song would start to play as the Dexter family walks into the airport to drop off TJ. Jamie doesn’t want him to leave, so she cries and starts to cling onto him. I picked this song because it says, “Please don't go, oh no.I think of you whenever I'm alone,
So please don't go.” Jamie does want him to leave, fearing the worst could happen to him.
3. Uptown Funk: Mark Ronson feat. Bruno Mars This song would
Cheap Thrills: Sia feat. Sean Paul The song plays as Jamie and Cindy dance around Cindy’s bedroom. Jamie tries to take Cindy’s mind off the huge argument she had with her mom. I chose this song because cheap thrills are minor things done for short enjoyment. Jamie dancing with Cindy is something that gives Cindy short enjoyment and distracts her from her thoughts.
5. Unsteady: X-Ambassadors This song plays as Jamie holds a sobbing Cindy after getting a text from her about wanting to relapse. The song was chosen because it says,”Hold, hold on, hold onto me cause I’m a little unsteady.” In this scene, Cindy is not in a stable state and wants to be held and not released.
6. Wide Awake: Katy Perry (Alex G acoustic piano cover) The song starts to play as Jamie looks through the flash drives TJ sent her and realizes that the wear isn’t as cool at as she thought it was. “This song in particular is a dose of reality,” words said by Katy Perry about Wide Awake. Jamie receives a dose of reality once she understands how real and cruel the war truly
The song would begin to play as clips of TJ are shown as he is held hostage and his release. He a hostage survivor.
8. Never Forget You: Zara Larsson feat. MNEK The beginning of this song starts to play as Cindy goes through old photos of Mark and her after finding out he was KIA. The song was picked because it says, “I used to be so happy, but without here I feel so low. I watched you as you left but I can never seem to let you go.” Mark brought her happiness on the worst days and made everything better. Even though she watched Mark leave she can’t let him out of her heart.
9. History: Lauren Alaina This song plays as troops begin to start fighting. The song fits the scene because it’s about battling and giving it your all which is what happens in this scene as the troops fight with all they have.
10. Wild Things: Alessia Cara This song was chosen because it describes Jamie’s personality. Jamie isn’t your typical girl of this time period. She likes to plays football and wants to enlist in wars. The song I picked is about being unique, and not really fitting in with the status quo.
11. Halo: Beyonce (Madilyn Bailey piano cover music
