Music options for Mum's video

When creating my video responding to my Mum's memories the music choice was obvious as she had mentioned Simon and Garfunkle's 'Bridge over troubled water' in her questionnaire as well as her voice recoded interview. She also mentioned 'Lord of the dance'; out of the two 'Bridge over troubled water' suited the video more for several reasons, firstly it evokes emotions as a stand a lone piece let a lone whilst accompanying such a powerful interview, secondly it is much longer than 'lord of the dance' so it would not need to be repeated for very long, nor would it need much editing (or at least I thought it wouldn't). I made the video by combining the voice over and the video clips as well creating a freeze frame (still) for the imagery to accompany the majority of the voice over. I then added the background music, I lowered the volume level of the music and lifted the volume level of the voice overs to make sure they were more prominent than the music. Alternative music options that i will consider to use include, Lou Reed's 'Perfect Day' because its a piece of music that relives a specific day, obviously relating to my theme of 'memory' well.
