Here i am going to analyse the lyrics of the song i have chosen, i will highlight specific words which i think would be important when making my video.
There’s still a little bit of your taste in my mouth
There’s still a little bit of you laced with my doubt
It’s still a little hard to say what's going on
There’s still a little bit of your ghost your witness
There’s still a little bit of your face i haven't kissed
You step a little closer each day
That I can´t say what´s going on
Stones taught me to fly
Love, it taught me to lie
Life, it taught me to die
So it's not hard to fall
When you float like a cannonball
There’s still a little bit of your song in my ear
There’s still a little bit of your words i long to hear
You step a little closer to me
So close that I can't see what's going on
Stones taught me to fly
Love taught me to lie
Life taught me to die
So its not hard to fall
When you float like a cannon
Stones taught me to fly
Love, it taught me to cry
So come on courage, teach me to be shy'
Cause its not hard to fall,
And I don't want to scare her
Its not hard to fall
And i don't want to lose
Its not hard to grow
When you know that you just don't know
Little bit
In terms of this song this short phrase suggests the idea that you aren't getting very far, the idea that your only moving a little bit at a time, the video involves a young girl dreaming to be a dancer, therefore its suggesting that she isn't getting very far.
Whats going on
This phrase suggests the idea of confusion. The idea that the girl in the video is so far into daydream that she is loosing sense of reality. It suggests that she just doesn't understand or that things don't make sense.
closer each day
This is one similar to 'little bit' in a way that it shows she isn't getting much further by the day, but in this sense its suggesting that is is actually getting somewhere even if it is slowly. The idea that she will achieve what she wants it will just take time.
float
This is the idea that she is in a dream world, that she isn't in reality. She doesn't have her feet on the ground because she is so far into her daydream. This is also a suggestion for the dancer herself because it shows that the dancing is so graceful that the dancer is near to floating
song
A very literal meaning for this part of the song. This would suggest how much the girl loves her music and dancing and is just an emphasis to show that.
fly
Another idea similar to the 'floating'. Again the girl is in her daydream therefore she isn't on the ground. Although she does seem to be upset and down, the idea of dreaming is keeping her flying so to speak.
fall
This is a different connotation because this suggests that things could go wrong, her dreams of being a dancer could be ruined. the full line for this part is 'its not hard to fall' which again shows that its not difficult for the girl to have her hopes ruined by something.
don't know
The last two words of the song. The idea that because she is down about the whole situation she has given up on many things and just doesn't seem to know what to do anymore. There is no determination shown, simply just the want for dance.
This information should help me build my music video.
