CREATIVE RESPONSE Darkness. My whole world seems to be a dark hole. I am heavy and hollowed out. I finally come to the realisation that death is near and if I close my eyes one more time, darkness may be all I will ever see again. Tilly is by my bed side, tears flooding down her face and hunched over looking at me. Tilly and I both know that this is all we have got left, each other. Tilly has lost everything, she had the ‘perfect life’. She had the man of her dreams and a baby that she would now give up anything for. She looks as though she has no hope left, as if she is alive but dead inside. But she is giving me all the hope I’ll ever need. She is giving me hope that my life is finally worth living and I really do have a good life, but I just wasted 20 years of it. …show more content…

The town is nothing without Tilly and her frock making, they just don't want to say it as they are too busy being jealous of what Tilly has and they

There are many compositional techniques used to convey message in this song. First there is the bass guitar, which provides the melody throughout the song.

    There was no chattering or chirping of birds; no growling of bears and no chuckling of contented otters; instead, the clearing lay desolate and still, as though it never wished to be turned into day. The only occupants were rodents and spiders who had set their home in the dank, forgotten shack. From its base, dead, brown grass reached out, all the way to the edge of the tree-line, unable to survive in the perished, infertile soil that made up the foundations of the house. Bird houses and feeders swung still from the once growing apple trees, in the back garden, consigned to a life of
