The song I have chosen is ‘She moves in her own way’ by The kooks. The main reason I chose this song is because I think you could match the voice in the song to an actor in the my music video I will be creating, and it will make it more believable.

Description of narrative 

The narrative is an upbeat message about a relationship. Throughout the song the artist is saying things he likes about someone while also saying some reassuring bits of advice.

My ideas for the music video

I think that it could be a fairly simple music video, even though I do want to add cultural references and metaphors to it. I think for this song it would be effective to have the band or one main singer playing in various locations and also various sections shot in a studio. Because the song mentions days of the week, I think a calendar background or theme could be good. I like the idea that the main singer is looking for someone in all the locations. I think that different shots of the band having a good time might also be very effective.

The lyrics for the song are:

So at my show on Monday, I was hoping someday
You’d be on your way to better things
It’s not about your make-up or how you try to shape up
To these tiresome paper dreams
Paper dreams, honey
So now you pour your heart out, you’re telling me you’re far out
But not about to lie down for your cause
But you don’t pull my strings
‘Cause I’m a better man moving on to better things

[Chorus]
Well, uh-oh, oh, I love her because she moves in her own way
Well, uh-oh, oh, she came to my show just to hear about my day

[Verse 2]
And at the show on Tuesday, she was in her mind, see
Tempered furs and spangled boots
Looks are deceiving, make me believe it
And these tiresome paper dreams
Paper dreams, honey, yeah
So won’t you go far, tell them you’re a keeper
Not about to lie down for your cause
And you don’t pull my strings
‘Cause I’m a better man moving on to better things

[Chorus]
Well, uh-oh, oh, I love her because she moves in her own way
Well, uh-oh, oh, she came to my show just to hear about my day

[Bridge]
Yes, I wish that we never made it through all the summers
And kept them up instead of kicking us back down to the suburbs
Yes, I wish that we never made it through all the summers
And kept them up instead of kicking us back down to the suburbs

[Chorus]
But uh-oh, I love her because she moves in her own way
But uh-oh, she came to my show just to hear about my day
But uh-oh, oh, I love her because she moves in her own way
But uh-oh, oh, she came to my show just to hear about my day
