PRODUCTION WORK

We are making a music video based on Ajimal Be Kind. Ajimal is Fran O'Hanlon, a palliative care doctor who is playing Glastonbury this year. Both year 10 groups organize themselves by selecting a snatch of the words from the lyrics, writing the words on paper / card and filming themselves presenting the words to camera.

PREP Film in landscape. Be creative about how you present your words. Ensure that your words are easy to read.

Above All Else, Be Kind

There is a wind of spite that chills
There is a songless sky of still
If I were struggling for breath, who'd clasp me close?
Who'd bear my breathing
As I gasped in death?

 

There is a dark that light can't kill
Within the blinding fear it fills
If I were huddling for warmth, who'd clean my clothes?
Who'd share their blankets?
Or would I freeze alone?

 

This is not difficult or radical
This is fundamental. This is pivotal.

 
This is the most important:

Be kind, be gentle
Be mild, be simple
Be patient, be peaceful
But above all else, be kind

 

There is a thirst no substance can quench
There is a hunger that will not be silent
If you were famished, your children unfed
Who'd sit you down to share their table?
Who would share their bread?

 

This is not difficult or radical
This is fundamental. This is critical.
 

This is the single most important:

Be kind, be gentle
Be mild, be simple
Be patient, be peaceful
But above all be kind
 

Be humble
Show mercy, show caring
Don't hate or hide
Don't let fears divide

Above all else...
Above all else, be kind
