MY chosen song- Bloc party- Flux

THIS IS OUR CHOSEN SONG
If your right hand is causing you pain
Cut it off cut it off
If your colours have started to run
Let them all run, run away from you
There is lightning in this room
Above our heads waiting to strike
Im a thinker not a talker
Put your faith, your faith in God

( Here the song is being interpreted as if to say, if something is causing you pain, get rid of it. Also the singer is telling the audience that he doesn't talk about things like his feelings and for a relationship to work people should put their faith in god rather then waiting for him to talk things through.)

We were hoping for some romance
All we found was more dispair
We must talk about our problems
We are in a state of Flux

(The chorus shows what the couple were hoping for and now what they have, using the song title "flux" he goes on to say how he must talk about his problems.)

Id kill for an adventure
Just you and I in the Curzon Bar
Dancing till we knew
So all that we've learnt disappeared
When you shouted at me
I saw my father in the second grade
Concerned and kind
But yet unable to reach me

(Here he is explaining how he wants to go on an adventure, possibly back to old times, so that all they have learnt disapears and they no longer go by rules. Here he says that his partner was concerned and kind but unable to reach him, this shows a breakdown of communication)

We were hoping for some romance
All we found was more dispair
We must talk about our problems
We are in a State of Flux

State of Flux [x9]

We need to talk [x5]

We were hoping for some romance
All we found was more dispair
We must talk about our problems
We are in a state of Flux

Over all when listening to this song I feel that it gives the impression about a relationship starting to crumble and trys to show them what they should do to fix things.

Foals- Olympic Airways

Suns up, we wait,
All day

Suns up, we wait,
All day
All day, the house-hide?s kept away

If only we could move away, from here,
This is how we build a place, an aviary for today,
An aviary for today

Let?s disappear till tomorrow,
Let?s disappear till tomorrow

Dis-a-ppe-ar!
Dis-a-ppe-ar!
Dis-a-ppe-ar! ar! ar! ar!

Blow up these fake parades let?s go,
To an aviary far from home,
To an aviary far from home

A one hand clap is me and you (anew?)
And you
And you
And you

While the hell-side?s kept away,
If only we?d moved away

Dis-a-ppe-ar!
Dis-a-ppe-ar!

(Rock out part then build up)

Sun down now we have built our place,
An aviary, forever
An aviary, forever
Forever
Forever
Forever
Forever
Forever

Re-a-ppe-ar!
Re-a-ppe-ar!

The overall point in these lyrics is showing that they have found a vacation to stay for a while but they are being moved away. The lyrics are not very specific, which I feel is quite good so that we have many more options as to how to do our music video.

When listening to the video, as a group we decided that a urban countryside would be best to shoot the video rather then in a busy city like London. We also thought as the lyrics do not tell much of a story we would do a mainly performance video with a band we know. We will still put in some narrative, that includes the band. The decision to do the performance was also made on the fact that we want them to pretend to be this band, meaning the fans would want to see them in the video.

We decided that once our choice out of both songs had been decided we would extend on our thoughts for either video that we have chose.


THIS SONG WAS OUR REJECTED SONG

Song choices

To choose a song that isn't very well known but popular enough for one to know how to research it makes it hard to find a song because a lot of them are too well known and typical. To research a song we tried lots of different ways, first we tried looking on youtube and typing in the least well known bands we could think of, when this was unsuccessful due to realizing that although there not well known to us there actually very popular and well known to many other people.
We then decided that we would go onto Adverts and TV programes such as Hollyoaks to find songs that have been played before that we like the sound of. Although we do not all have the same taste, we all decided that we would put our different song genres aside and choose the song we feel we will all get the best a-level out of.

Here are our song choices.... now we have to just choose one.
