So the song I have chosen from after the analysis of my questionnaire is Ben Howard - Diamonds. Reason for being it appeals to the largest target audience along with fitting in with the most popular genre (indie). Choosing the most popular answer's means that it will alternatively sell the most and appeal to a larger audience meaning more sales. Doing this will help me decide on atmospheres/moods to be created throughout my music video along with understanding the lyrics themselves and what they mean.
All I am is the bones you made for me
bones act as the body 'you are my body' meaning you make me
So garishly clean
So garishly clean
beautiful, clean, white, healthy
White as the horses, they carry me away
White as the horses, they carry me away
dreams - clouds carrying him away. heaven
And all my demons, you said, come and go with a haze
And all my demons, you said, come and go with a haze
bad times and good times throughout the relationship, negative atmosphere portrayed
I might as well took a
I might as well took a
unfinished sentence - mysterious
I'll grow old in my way.
I'll grow old in my way.
referring back to the bad - saying that he'll go back to being negative
Just like you do.
copying the girl, you broke my heart so ill brake yours
Oh there ain't no diamonds in the boredom
Just like you do.
copying the girl, you broke my heart so ill brake yours
Oh there ain't no diamonds in the boredom
negative persona created, idea of no happiness or light in boredom
Oh there ain't no darkness that I fear
Oh there ain't no darkness that I fear
not afraid of anything, courageous
Oh there ain't no way to say I love you more
Oh there ain't no way to say I love you more
said it enough, nothing he can do more to prove his love, happy, emotional
So be clear, just to be clear
So be clear, just to be clear
he wants her to be clear with him, so he emphasises that he is being clear himself
So be clear, be clear.
So be clear, be clear.
repetition
All I am is the bones you made for me
All I am is the bones you made for me
bones act as the body 'you are my body' meaning you make me
Just driftwood for the sea
water, drifting apart from each other, sea comes and goes as if there relationship was a tide
Heavy as the horses, that carry me away.
Heavy as the horses, that carry me away.
more negative than 'white horses', heavy weight upon his shoulder, evil
That carry me away.
carries away his feelings, could be portrayed both good and bad
That carry me away.
carries away his feelings, could be portrayed both good and bad
Oh there ain't no diamonds in the boredom
negative persona created, idea of no happiness or light in boredom
Oh there ain't no darkness that I fear
Oh there ain't no darkness that I fear
not afraid of anything, courageous
Oh there ain't no way to say I love you more
Oh there ain't no way to say I love you more

So be clear, just to be clear
So be clear, just to be clear

negative persona created, idea of no happiness or light in boredom
Oh there ain't no darkness that I fear
Oh there ain't no darkness that I fear
not afraid of anything, courageous
Oh oh oh ain't no way to say I love you more
emphasising his love to this girl, memories are flowing back, repetition really shows the emotion
So be clear, just to be clear
he wants her to be clear with him, so he emphasises that he is being clear himself
So be clear, be clear.
So be clear, be clear.
