Song Choice

For my song choice I have researched into a few songs that I would like to use:
  • The Days - 'Evil Girls'
  • ,
  • Good Luck Jane - 'Here Again'
  • ,
  • Ellie Goulding - "I'll Hold My Breath'
  • ,
  • Airborne Toxic Event - 'The Girls In Their Summer Dresses'
  • .

I have decided to chose Ellie Goulding with her song 'I'll Hold My Breath', I decided to chose this song as I really like her music, I feel the lyrics are something that can be interpreted in a few ways which leaves it open to interpretation for someone like me creating a music video. However, when I read these lyrics I imagined how I could create it and this triggered my enthusiasm. The reason I rejected the others is because The Days song isn't actually that long and I felt that this wouldn't show my full capability. When looking at the song by Good Luck Jane I discovered that the quality of sound for these songs is quite poor which will affect the quality of the overall finished product. Between my group we decided to go for Ellie Goulding as we have all heard the song whereas not all of us had heard Airborne Toxic Event so felt it more logical to go with this.

These are the lyrics to the final song chosen, Ellie Goulding 'I'll Hold My Breath' -

Breathe air you're not used to
Tread floors you don't fall through
make waves...
you crash a symbol hard
follow noone, always play the wrong card
waste days, in foreign places
shed light, on your better side
reassure me that you'll wait for me, wait for me as long as it takes now

hold my breath
i'll hold my breath

until you see me in your dreams
we'll stay awake beneath the trees
we'll watch the buildings turn to dust
a sky of diamonds just for us
you are the risk i'll always take
the only branch i'll never break
those fears we'll blow them all away (we'll blow them all away)

fight fires in your best clothes
touch skin with your eyes closed
chase thunder..
with the volume down
pack a suitcase, wander to the next town
force quit, on your losing streak
solve a riddle in a magazine, be tongue in cheek


tell me that we're still too young
that we're still too young and i'll hold my tongue

until you see me in your dreams
we'll stay awake beneath the trees
we'll watch the buildings turn to dust
a sky of diamonds just for us
you are the risk i'll always take
the only branch i'll never break
those fears we'll blow them all away (we'll blow them all away)

i'm here, i'm here to take you
i'll swim, i'll swim to save you
no fall, i'm here to catch you
i'll swim, i'll swim to save...

until you see me in your dreams
we'll stay awake beneath the trees
we'll watch the buildings turn to dust
a sky of diamonds just for us
you are the risk i'll always take
the only branch i'll never break
those fears we'll blow them all away (we'll blow them all away)
