Blonde Louis

My chosen band is 'Blonde Louis' and the song I have selected is 'Sleep on the floor'. The lyrics are below...

Figuring your fingers, the answers in your hand.
And now your eyes are somewhere else cuz you don't understand.
Your love is my potion it sleeps on my emotions and kisses me when i sleep at night.
And it's cold outside, and i need you by my side.
Can we try to make things better, yeah?

And i wrote your name on my bed, so can we sleep on the floor instead?
And with trouble under cover, with your voice like thunder.
  
(Music chorus)

Looking for you hands, but the smoke filled up your eyes.
The feeling that you fear is now eating you inside.
Your heart beats devotion, the words which you'd spoken, are the last things i can speak of at night.

And it's cold outside, and i need you by my side.

Can we try to make things better, yeah?

And i wrote your name on my bed, so can we sleep on the floor instead?

And with trouble under cover, with your voice like thunder.

(Music chorus)

    

And it's cold outside...

So cold outside... 

And it's cold outside...

So cold outside... 

And it's cold outside...

So cold outside... 

And it's cold outside...

So cold outside... 

And it's cold outside...

So cold outside... 

And it's cold outside...

So cold outside... 

And it's cold outside...

So cold outside... 

And it's cold outside.

And I need you by my side.

Analysis 

The song 'Sleep on the floor' is about two young people who are in a helpless relationship but they are having fun and but like lots of other young relationships they are arguing falling out and making back up again. This is typical of many indie music videos where the relationship often fails because they are too immature.

This is shown through the lyrics 'can we try to make things better?' which suggests that there is something to put a strain on a relationship. I think it is good to bring in your own interpretation and ideas when making a music video as it shows creativity. As this is a up beat song i think that it would be effective if i add in elements of fun and the band messing about. I decided to use the idea that the relationship is falling apart because the lead singer is spending too much time with his friends and acting immature rather than his girlfriend. I think a lot of people can relate tot his which would stand out to my target audience further.  With these lyrics i came to the conclusion that a narrative/performance based video is ideal for this.
