so i'm working on this final project, for this class. i'm using a video splash intro to my website about panhandling -- it explores the human side of panhandlers (ie: who are these people, what are their stories, etc).

and i'm doing a montage of black and white photos of panhandlers, with stastics, much like a PSA (public service announcement) about panhandling.

but i need THE perfect song to narrate it.
it needs to set a tone of empathy, and motivation, and compassion, and understanding, etc.

help.
please.

I know I'm going to hate myself for this but the first song that sprang to mind was Melanie C's "If that were me" which is a song about street people I think... It might be about war children. I can't remember.

The song is horribly trite, but the words might fit what you are looking for.

I hate to sound generic, but I immediately thought of What's Going On by Marvin Gaye.

How 'bout The Flying Lizards' cover of "Money (That's What I Want)..." That's always a good one.

mehhh..

i'm trying to find something sentimental and semi-obscure. i dont want anyone to think "omg a psa with a sheryl crow song, how kewl!!!"
