Possible Songs For My Music Video

For my music video I began to think of ideas for what song I was going to use, the idea I had was that I wanted to choose a song that I could make a story behind the lyrics and branch of several imageries behind the lyrics. Three songs that I started to look into and see which one would work best are:



Paolo Nutini - Last Request

Last Request is a song sung by a singer called Paolo Nutini who is a Scottish singer/songwirter and this was the first single from his debut album These Streets. The song made it's release on July 3rd 2006 and peaked at number 5 on the UK singles charts. I chose this song because I thought I could do a very good video which would be suitable for the lyrics. This song is about a person who know's his relationship is over but wants to have one last chance at it.














Gavin De'Graw - I Don't Want To Be

The second song I thought to do was By a singer called Gavin De'Graw. The single is called I don't Want To Be and it was released in the UK in 2005 and was the first single to be realsed of his debut album Chariot. This is song became more popular when it was chosen to be used as the theme song for the hit US TV show One Tree Hill. This song is Gavin De'Graws biggest selling single selling over 200,000,00 paid downloads. I thought of using this song because it has a meaning behind the lyrics and it's about his own life experience and that gave me ideas on how to do a video about the song.









Death Cab For Cutie - A Lack Of Color

Finally this was the song I thought of which I felt I could get the best video out of. It's by an American indie-rock band called Death Cab For Cutie. The song is called A Lack Of Color and it was a song from the album Transatlanticism which was released in 2003. The song was never released as a single but the album it was on is one of the most popular albums by the band. I chose to use this song because I saw the band live in 2008 and this was a song they sang and it was amazing hearing it live, even then I was getting ideas on how a video could be made about it. The song is about a man (possibly the lead singer Ben Gibbard) who's relationship has turned bad and tells a story of how it's affected his life and taken the color away. Basically it's a song about a troubled love and I thought it would be a great song for me to get the point across which the lyrics is trying to show but adapt them into imagery.
