Yes, watching the video makes it better to understand the lyrics because there are some pictures that go with the video so when you watch you get a understanding to what the lyrics are about. I didn't feel emotional when I read the lyrics at school because I didn't understand it then but when I watched the video I felt a little bit emotional because about the war and people thinking that they mite die. Bye see you guys tomorrow. :)

The video did help me understand the lyrics better because I got to actually hear be sung in a song. The video made me more emotional because the music makes it sound really sad. When it was written down, I thought it was like any other poem.

The video helped me understand the lyrics better because the artist was reciting the lyrics slower and it just made it sound much smoother and clearer to me. VOLLEYBALL PEOPLE I NEED YOUR HELP! WHERE IS OUR GAME TOMORROW? I WILL BE CHECKING BACK LATER! THANK YOU!

The video made me understand the lyrics a little better, because of the pictures in the background. It was a tiny bit saddening as well.

the song helped me understate the song better. Yes the song was a bit sad because of the back round music. the song made me emotional the smallest bit, but not crying emotional. The pictures definitely helped me think of what it looked like in the war. See you all tomorrow.

Of course it did. Becuase it tells me more about the sodier's feeling, and what does the song mean. Also, it makes me to understand it than first when I looked at it. And I felt emotional when I was watching and listening to the video too.

The song with the music helped my understanding better and my background knowledge knew more about the lyrics. It helped me understand more because I think it was the background music. The beginning part made me feel emotional and made me visualize Remembrance Day and the songs played at the assembly we have at school. The lyrics made me emotional because this brave German man stood up for what right and sang the beautiful song we all know Silent Night. Also the pictures in the background helped the pictures in my head. See you all tomorrow!

When the song is actually sung it makes you feel more because it kind of depends on the way you read it. I probably would've been able to write more if it was sung and I didn't just read it. I think when it's sung there's more emotion like in the voice. It helped me understand more with the pictures as well.

Yes it definitely helps to understand the lyrics better by watching a video. Because I think the emotional effects become amplified when it interacts with visionary senses rather than our imagination.

Yes, when I saw this video it made me kind of emotional and felt happy and sad at the same time. It made me happy because we don't have war and we can live our lives peacefully and the reason why it makes me sad is that people sacrificed their lives so they can make a better future for us. It also helps me a lot to look at a video then to just read because you see a picture and know what's going on (not just inferring). For some reason though I didn't feel as emotional while reading the lyrics comparing to the video. Bye, see you tomorrow!

The video helped me understand. I think that helped me because I could see what was actually going on. I felt more emotional when I read the song but not like tears just felt bad. I didn't feel really emotional watching the video because they all seemed completely fine.

The video help me just a little bit because there was background music and that kind of distracted me. It did get a tear to my eye but it wasn't as emotional as other videos. That's all see you all soon. :D

The video helped me because the pictures on the screen elaborated onto the pictures I had in my head. Yes, I felt emotional, because I'm pretty sure many people in the battle don't want to do this. It made me feel sort of both happy and sad, happy that they are all one and sad that the battle is keeping them apart. The lyrics weren't that emotional because I didn't really understand, but the song was emotional. Okay, bye!
