The song I picked is “Helping Each Other Die “by Hollohan. The genre of the sing is Hip Hop. Helping Each Other Die, is about a couple that are extremely addicted to drugs. They are living in a world that they are both killing each other. They are extremely addicted that they don’t know the difference in reality and fanatic. He asks himself if its love or if they are two idiots addicted to drugs. That the drugs are like the devil, and he didn’t know it was so seductive. He and she are attractive to each other but the drugs tempted them to continue consuming more and more drugs. To the point of not being able to stop and end up killing yourself of to overdose. It is saying that drug addiction can lead you death; at some point the get extremely addicted that they need to consume even more. That the drugs at some point make you confuse and cause different type of emotions. When they get confused you cannot tell the difference in reality and the fanatic of drugs.

Hollohan did write this song, the song “Helping Each Other Die”. The video gives the song so much more effective because in the video you see the pain and you can feel the pain in the way he sings it and acts it. The song by itself is powerful, but the video gives it an extra push to make it even better. To make a effective song, I think you have to send a message to the audience and be able to connect with different persons. To be able to create emotions just by hearing him sing the song. The material that were used in my opinion is the social issue, of drug addiction. Drug addiction is a big part of a lot of people’s lives.  It has impacted, I think everyone at some point goes through this. I can be a family member, girlfriend, boyfriend, anyone.  The video over all takes 7:06 minutes. It is a good time and it teaches everyone something about drug addicts and the struggles they  face every day to get help or some don’t get help in time and sadly end up dying.
