we found this song held a strong beat and we would be able to work with lyrics that were polysemic.
However after endless sessions of brainstorming and searching on music sites such as youtube and spotify, we found two songs that were perfect for the kind of ambience we wanted to project. Even MORE perfect than Ekko. So we scrapped 'smile' and had to decide between 'I found by Amber run', and 'Ready by Kodaline.'
'I found' entails of a much more darker and somber scene. The constant use of the lyric 'love' in this song was a reminder that this was not what we wanted our video to consist of, and even though we brainstormed the idea that we don't actually need to include any iconography of the soppy term, we still wanted our video to be clear, in the sense of linking the lyrics to the visuals in some aspect.
'Ready' is an easily enjoyed song, which made it hard to vote against it. It held the conventions of an upbeat indie song with lyrics that hides realms of ambiguity. This song really did tick all the boxes, just one major thing lacked; an actual storyline for it!
We wanted something really shocking in our video, something extremely unexpected, however we just couldn't piece a gripping narrative to the song.
