Final Song Choice. The Funeral- Band of Horses

We have finally agreed on a song to use for our video and we are all really happy with our choice. It isn't a fast song like some of our other choices, yet we feel we can really work with both the lyrics and the beat of the song. All of us enjoy the song, not that that is an advantage, but we know how likeable this song can be.

We found this song thanks to a show on MTV called 'My Life As Liz'. I just remembered she sang this song during a talent show and remembered how interesting I found the song to be.

After discussing in depth the possibilities of our video we have been overwhelmed with excitement and enthusiasm to start filming. However, we know that realistically we have so much planning to do beforehand.

Due to the nature of our song we are inclined to focus upon the idea of death and all things related.

We feel there should be a lot of underlying metaphors throughout the video, one of which should be either a burning candle or cigarette that we do extremely fast cuts of at intervals throughout the video but at each one the object will be nearer and nearer to the end of its life.

I'm coming up only to hold you under
I'm coming up only to show you wrong
And to know you is hard and we wonder
To know you all wrong, we were

Really too late to call, so we wait for
Morning to wake you; it's all we got
To know me as hardly golden
Is to know me all wrong, they were

At every occasion I'll be ready for a funeral
At every occasion once more is called a funeral
Every occasion I'm ready for the funeral
At every occasion one brilliant day funeral

I'm coming up only to show you down for
I'm coming up only to show you wrong
To the outside, the dead leaves, they all blow (alive is very poetic)
For'e (before) they died had trees to hang their hope

At every occasion I'll be ready for the funeral
At every occasion once more is called the funeral
At every occasion I'm ready for the funeral
At every occasion one brilliant day funeral
