Variations on a cloud

TW: strong mentions of 9/11

So there's this wonderful song, “Variations on a cloud” by Miracle Musical/Joe hawley and I'd like to use it in the future for a project honoring 9/11 victims. I'm concerned that if I use this song, people will look up the music video which is completely inappropriate for scratch (the song and music video is about 9/11 victims trying to escape the twin towers in whatever way that they can and shows imagery of people falling from immense heights)

Is this something I should be concerned about? Also, the song has this lyric in it which might be considered inappropriate
OK, jump to end it all
Let this one be to break the fall
However I'd like to mention that there's a plethora of projects that use this audio so I'm not too sure. All of the other lyrics are fine, so if I censor this line, would the audio be okay to use?

I don't know, if you censor anything inappropriate, in Scratch I see clean versions of songs that usually have bad words, so i guess it'll be fine if you censor anything that's not appropriate for Scratch.

You’d probably be allowed to use it (with censoring the last two lines), but you might want to warn people that the music video contains disturbing imagery, so they don’t accidentally find out by searching the video.

Thanks for the answers- the music video itself has warnings on it and the original was taken down so I hope that'd be warning enough for people. Reporting to be closed

Variations on a cloud

I've spoken with other mods and we've decided this project idea is too intense for Scratch. While we allow certain types of 9/11 projects, content that references or shows details of what the victims experienced is too much.
