Laura, Shannon & Ronnie - This Is War - 30 Seconds To Mars

• Reflects real life - Polititions, war, etc.

Story: The story is all about fighting and beliefs  within fighting. At the end of the song they imply that the soldier doesnt believe in war and fighting yet he still fights for what he believes even though it might not end up the way he wants it to. They are fighting on the spur of the moment when anything is possible.

Quote: 'If we dont end war, ware will end us': Has a big impact and meaning to life itself and most people can relate to the quote.

Gives reality of what it is like being on the fighting frontline with relation to the lyrics such as the shouting of 'TO FIGHT, TO FIGHT, TO FIGHT'. Lyrics are very catchy and help to tell the story as they go into the frontline with the increasing tension and then as they fall back to safety.

Interpretation Of The Video: Time lapse videos of the world deteriating and the impacts.
