Song Choice

The track chosen was an original piece written and performed by myself. It portrays a dark and emotional experience that I personally had and as an artist I decided to express this in my music. We thought it would be a good song to use as we could engage the audience using this type of music.

We got inspiration from Jhene Aiko's music video where she used a lot of slow motion shots to portray her actions, we think this will co-sync with the slow tempo of the track we are using to portray sadness to the audience, We also plan on having 3 performers. I myself being one of them and 2 others (a male and a female) to portray my girlfriend and my best friend as part of this love triangle of betrayal


Here are the lyrics below


Verse
You took a broken heart, mended it then crushed it again
Man I don't even blame you, I was only trying to save you
But that only went and got my stupid self in a mess
Coz there’s a glass wall stuck between the both of us
Yeah I can see the real you
So many attempts trying to penetrate through your insecurities reaching out so I could feel you

(These first four bars of lyrics shows a personal account of the regret of the main character for getting involved with the Ex-Girlfriend. Which will be represented in the first three shots of the storyboard. Showing the thoughts running through his mind)

But I failed, so arguments turn into fights, and fights turn into wars
I’m tired of all the lies and the violations
Tired of trying to fight a never ending situation
Tired of feeling used for your own gain, what’s the point of fighting if you don’t feel the same way?
The real you is like a butterfly, behind the glass wall but all I see is your ugly side

(This shows an oxymoron between track and video. Although the audience will be watching them go through good times in his flash back, the lyrics in the verse suggest that even though it was all smiles in the begging it was a frustrated relationship this will be represented in the next six shots)

And now thanks to you, I built my own wall
I won’t ever let another woman drain me, I won't ever let another woman faze
Coz what you've done to me turned me crazy
And what I didn't realize was that trying to find the real you, only ended up I me losing myself
Ending up in me fooling myself, maybe you're the glass wall and nobodies behind it.

(These lyrics lead up to the climax of the song where the pace of the video begins to speed up, where he is about to catch his GF red handed. Chorus begins when he walks through his living room door and facial expression is shown from his reaction to what he see’s)
 
  Chorus
And I've been drowning in your love
I’m suffocation I can’t swim no more
So let me breathe
Let me breathe
Oh let me breath oh let me breathe
Once again, hey hey yeah yeah once again.

(These lyrics represent the emotional drain and stress he has gone through and has finally had enough. This is represented by him preparing the bath tub to drown himself. “Let me breathe” represents the relief that death will bring him being the only thing he believes will take a away the pain)
