"Inspired by Robert Frost's 'Desert Places' the song relates to the theme 'Look Within' by highlighting howreclusive inner reflection can be. Structurally, the music follows a simplistic pop aesthetic, however, looking deeper, the narrative is about an individual trying to cope with their personal inner loneliness. Like Frost's speaker in his poem, the loneliness within him is more frightening than the isolation that physically surrounds him. Similarly, the song takes this concept to the extreme with the speaker 'escaping' into his inner reflection, becoming paralyzed by personal demons. With religious undertones and implication, the song fades to silence.

Desert Places by Hangil Kim

"This piece reflects a few small melodies that I have had in my head for a few years. It represents, to me, how I have grown since the time of my younger years and how life changes"

Look Within - Angela Ignacio

"My music piece, "My Own" relates to the theme because it is abou thow to find yourself by looking within yourself. As we grow up,we are influenced by society and feel insecure. We must overcome those insecurities by drawing on an inner sense of identity and believing in ourselves"
