"We See Others in Ourselves"

The first thing I noticed was the the violin being plucked, I found it uplifted my mood to a good place. As if the poem was going to be happy, however after listening to previous poems I am not so sure that I can believe strings being plucked on a violin. I then enjoyed how my childhood memories where brought forward running around with my older brother playing cops and robbers or hide and seek and when my younger sister played and we tagged her she would say we didn't get her. Eventually she would just stop playing because she didn't want to be it. I love the movement and playful attitude of Shane Koyczan it keeps my mood uplifted, but again in the beginning of Shane Koyczan's poems they are usually uplifting, but they don't always show such an uplifting tone. My memories from childhood about calling my crush about homework where brought up to. I love that the crowd's reactions b=in the video laughing and enjoying the memories that the poem is bringing to them too. I love that the black and white adds to the effect of the poem. I feel that he is making a connection to me in this poem like he is talking directly to me. The chorus in the middle with the violin makes me relaxed, Shane Koyczan comes back relaxed and prepared to share more wise words with the audience. This spoken word poem was not at all sad or upsetting like the past ones I have posted. I feel inspired after listening to this poem.
