Lyrics
Gently bleeding on your pickguard
And I wanna be the band-aid
Wrapped around your finger
You said you wanted to steal me away
So I packed a bag but you never came
And I know that you don't owe me anything
I'm just sick of loving meaning waiting
And you are so hard to hold
He'll call you up but he never shows
Why do you act like you don't when you do?
Just because I used to like you back in high school?
You've got your checklist of shitty excuses
And I've got a habit of making boys like you my muses
And you are so hard to hold
He'll call you up but he never shows
The song which I have chosen to use in my music video is 'He Never Shows' by Pom-Pom Squad (from their EP 'Hate It Here'). Primarily, I think that the song would be a good choice because it fits our brief - it is by an unsigned artist and does not have a pre-existing music video. Additionally, the song has a high-quality recording which would enhance the quality of the music video overall. I also think that it would be an appropriate choice for my project because the song has a clear genre - indie rock, with some influence from riot grrrl - granting many opportunities to include generic conventions in the creation of a realistic music video with consideration of potential appeal to a target audience. Furthermore, the lyrics have great potential for inspiring narrative elements within a music video, with themes of romantic betrayal. Plus, the clear beat of the song means that synchronised editing could be used; cutting to the beat is conventional for rock music videos and can enhance the dynamics of the music video, conveying energy. I have downloaded the song and contacted the artist, receiving permission to use it in my project.
