Remix of Little Brother

For my remix of Little Brother, I decided to recreate the song 'You Belong With Me' by Taylor Swift into 'My Life Belongs To Me'. In my song, I focused on incidents in the book where the DHS or government stripped Marcus' or peoples' right to privacy. The verses of the song portray specific moments in the novel where the DHS clearly take away any freedoms, especially the freedom of privacy, from innocent people. The bridge of the song, focuses on how Marcus and the people feel and what they do to combat against the DHS's wrongdoings. The chorus just simply expresses the theme of the right to privacy and freedom living in America, hence the title 'My Life Belongs To Me'. My website is currently not working, so I will post my remix here and will later post it on the website once I fix it.

My Life Belongs To Me

DHS has my cell phone and I’m upset

They got my password through torture and many threats

And yet I still don’t know, what did I do?

You’re in the car, its a typical Tuesday night

Little did you know you got documented at the green light

These innocent people, what did they do?

[Bridge]

But I created X-net, to fight against the government

I gathered lots of people and this is what they represent

A country full of freedoms, with people that freely express

That they want life, liberty, and happiness

[Chorus]

If you could see that everyone just wants their privacy

Used to have it all, so why can’t you see?

My life belongs to me

My life belongs to me

A rave in Dolores Park with all my fellow X-netters

We all chant ‘Take it back!’, the crowd starts to stir

Then the police show up and shout to disperse

Then they ended up gassing us

In the end, DHS captures me once again

They havent seen me in awhile, ‘cause they couldn’t track me around

I was too powerful for them to even bring me down

[Bridge]

I created X-net, to fight against the government

I gathered lots of people and this is what they represent

A country full of freedoms, with people that freely express

That they want life, liberty, and happiness

[Chorus]

If you could see that everyone just wants their privacy

Used to have it all, so why can’t you see?

My life belongs to me

My life belongs to me
