Bear chose this weeks theme HUNGER.
Lorde Yellow Flicker : Mockingjay Part 1 Hunger games
What is this came true?
Years before the start of the series, the thirteen districts attempted to start a revolution against the Capitol. The Capitol won, District 13 was destroyed and, as punishment, an annual televised death match called The Hunger Games was created by the Capitol. Two participants, one male and one female, known as tributes, between the ages of 12 and 18 are chosen randomly in a “reaping” from each district. Children may volunteer as a tribute instead of selection by ballot. They are taken to an arena and fight until only one is left alive.[8]
Katniss Everdeen is a 16-year-old girl from District 12 who volunteers for the 74th Hunger Games after her 12-year-old sister Primrose Everdeen is picked for reaping. She survives the games along with Peeta Mellark when they both defy the Capitol by threatening to commit suicide.[8]
The Capitol is angry at their defiance, which inspires rebellion in several districts. Katniss and Peeta tour the districts, attempting to subdue the rebellion. Then, the reaping for the next Hunger Games takes place. For these games, part of the “Quarter Quell” that takes place every 25 years, winners of past games are forced to participate. When only a few participants remain in the games, including Katniss and Peeta, the arena is destroyed. Three of the tributes, including Katniss, are rescued by survivors of District 13, but the other three tributes, including Peeta, are captured by Capitol hovercrafts.[9]
The rebellion continues with Katniss being used as a figurehead.[10] more info here
Elastic Heart: Catching Fire Sung by Sia
A Future world vision.

Chandelier by Sia.
A whole generation hunger for meaning in their lives. They want a real reason to their being. They don’t see it so they drink. They get drunk before they go out then they act badly then they hunger for forgiveness to get away from their shame… they do not get what they want so they drink more!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Then there is self inflicted hunger, some starve themselves because they do not want to grow up, because they are or have been abused. So many reasons for anorexia . Song from Maria Mena
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Charles Dickens wrote the story, Lionel Bart wrote the songs.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A clever song from Marina and the Diamonds. About how the media and fashion world wants to sell the female as a perfect ( just as relevant for males too) It depicts one girl bucking the system!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The most reliant song about hunger to this day. Band Aid. Do they know its Christmas. 1984

Interesting videas and theme Willow. It is true that we often explore the future with SciFi. It gives us the ability to see what may happen.
Thank You.

Willow, I completely forgot about Band Aid. Nice throwback!
Oct 24, 2014 @ 04:05:43
Yes hard to believe that that was 20yrs ago.

Nicely done Willow, Sia is one of my favorite songwriter/ lyricist. Band-Aid ’84 is still as relevant as ever. U’ve certainly captured hunger in your crosshairs! Have a beautiful weekend. 🙂

Thanks Maddie I don’t know why I always seem to come at the themes from a different angle. My husband always tells me I think in an odd way. Big hugs to you. Xxx

Greetings Willow.
I was betting you would offer something from The Hunger Games and you did. 🙂 Highly appropriate. I avoided seeing that film until I learned what it was about. It’s so relevant to current issues that it’s a great mental horror film. At least I think so.
Oh and as for Mariana and the Diamonds—Girls Don’t Fight Dirty? Since when? That’s a very interesting pick indeed. I like it.
Thanks for adding to my musical menu.
