Music Video Proposal:

Duration: 4:04
Genre: Indie/Alternative rock.
Audience: Young adults, mainly males.
Analysis of lyrics: The song is about a man who is accused
of killing his girlfriend because she cheated on him. Throughout the duration
of the song the man is being interrogated and the lyrics he sings recall the
events of what happened. The first verse is a flashback to the night he killed
his girlfriend, he sings about what she said and that she was going to leave
him ‘she said she loved me, but she had
somewhere to go.’ The lyrics from the chorus hint to us that he has been
caught and interrogated by the police, the lyrics; ‘tell me what you wanna know’ and ’there ain’t no motive for this
crime’ portray a desperate man trying to proclaim his innocence. The next verse
is the man arguing with his interrogators, he is overwhelmed with guilt and
remorse and breaks down; ‘I Just can’t
take this. ’ After this the guilty man then says ‘She couldn’t scream while I held her close’ the audience now
believe that the man killed his girlfriend but still feel empathy for him as
its clearly from the raw emotion in the song that he loved her and didn’t want to
kill her. The song then ends with a reputation of the chorus.
