Lyrics for 'Kiss' - Pale Waves

[Verse 1]   Oh, you know just how to get to me   My heart's so lonely   You live inside my head   And I cry too much you said   Well you're the fashion right now, the fashion right   You know I want you tonight   Why most nights do you  wanna  live inside my head?   [Chorus]   You're a wave of a dream   Your love is clean   You're a wave of a dream   Your love is clean   [Verse 2]   Oh, you know just what to say   You show love in a different way   And you smelled smoke   We don't know where heaven is   And I'm feeling cold   But I guess we're different   [Chorus]   You're a wave of a dream   Your love is clean   You're a wave of a dream   Your love is clean   Just kiss me hard like you did at the start   Kiss me hard just like I'm breaking your heart   [Bridge]   Kiss me hard just like you did at the start ...

Costumes and Props

Image
In order to show influence from the original video and band, my costumes will consist of: trousers - black and white checked and black cropped ripped jeans, tops - black, black and white stripped or a bright block colour, jacket - denim, footwear - black boots or vans, make-up - I am going to try and emulate Heather Baron-Gracie, heavy eye shadow, dark lipstick, hair - I will try to get the same style as Ciara Doran as I do not have a fringe like Heather, and lots of rings/jewelry. I'm not going to rely heavily on props but I will include a few that are significant and that visualise the lyrics. 

Setting/Locations

Image
For my video I would like to include a range of settings in order to make the video not too repetitive. I would like to shoot/have shots in fields whilst the sun is setting and just before, at the seafront during the day and sunset, of the sea, in front of some brick walls and street art - there is quite a lot in Southend or I will research places in London that has some aesthetically pleasing street art. The reason for my setting/location choices is due to the fact that I am unable to film my 'band' at a gig or in the same kind of environment as in the amateur video. I thought that if I shoot whilst the lighting is slightly dimmer then a similar vibe could be created, and as I am filming and staring in the video myself it is pretty impossible to get a band playing without including a number of different people - I want to complete this project with as little help as possible. Instead of it being a traditional indie rock video - band playing at different gigs - I wanted ...

Audience

I am aiming this music video at a middle class demographic - this includes ABC1. This kind of target audience is not fond of heavy swearing in songs but is fond of indie genre music, this song would particularly attract the likes of a white caucasian teenage middle-class females and males.

History of 'Kiss'

Image
So this song doesn't have an official video with it yet, as it was officially released 15th May 2018 via Radio 1. Although the song was officially released recently it is actually one of the bands original songs. Although there is no official video I was able to find a video that was taken 7th March 2018 at The Garage in London, which is coincidentally the gig where I saw them first. link to the amateur video > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R81FbdsOm1M The song consists of a formulaic format - versus and chorus - and is a romantic gesture, telling of a love to which vocalist, Heather Baron-Gracie, will follow and work with as best she can. A first love? To me, the song feels very dream-like. The song is very bubbly dream pop track that creates a really summery vibe, and is the perfect addition after the release of their debut EP All The Things I Never Said .
