New Song Post - original song for the Musical Version of Brave New World
'Brave New World' was published by Aldous Huxley in 1932. It is the story of a society that believes that happiness can be found through drugs and promiscuity. This lesson will look at the main characters as well as the theme of government control.
In this original song, my vocal is portraying the character John - The son of the Director and Linda, John is the only major character to have grown up outside of the World State. The consummate outsider, he has spent his life alienated from his village on the New Mexico Savage Reservation, and he finds himself similarly unable to fit in to World State society. His entire worldview is based on his knowledge of Shakespeare’s plays, which he can quote with great facility.
John is singing about Love and his feeling for for Lenina Crowne - A vaccination worker at the Central London Hatchery and Conditioning Centre. . Ultimately, her values are those of a conventional World State citizen: her primary means of relating to other people is through sex, and she is unable to comprehend John’s alternate system of values.
