Lyrical Livelihood

OUR LAST PROJECT FOR GT IS AMONG US!!! EVERYBODY PANIC! No, don't really... But our very last project is here: The Music Video... But before I tell you about that, allow me to tell you how my favorite song lyrics make me feel, for the sake of the subject (and science). Now it's not necessarily my favorite song, nor is it the song my team will be working on, but it definitely has the feels when I listen to it. The song is "Disarm" by The Smashing Pumpkins. And the lyrics that make me feel emotion is "Disarm you with a smile, And leave you like they left me here, To wither in denial, The bitterness of one who's left alone, Ooh, the years burn, Ooh, the years burn, burn, burn" and "used to be a little boy, So old in my shoes, And what I choose is my voice, What's a boy supposed to do?, The killer in me is the killer in you, My love, I send this smile over to you". I love these lyrics because they're so poetic and great. Plus the song is really catchy and nice.

So for my team's project, we chose to do Ramble On by Led Zeppelin. My team consists of Rafael, Aedan, and Ana. The reason we chose to do this song is because we wanted to do some kind of rock song that was both catchy, and poetic. Ramble On fit perfectly into this category, and we all like the song. There were other choices like Boulevard of Broken Dreams by Green Day and Eye of the Tiger by Journey. But our final choice seemed to be the best fit. 

So Ramble On is actually like one big reference to The Lord of the Rings, but since that would be kind of difficult to incorporate into the music video, Raf decided that the song would be about a guy who gets cheated on by his girlfriend, and he goes on a journey to find "The Queen of all his Dreams". For our video, Aedan is the guy who gets cheated on (poor Aedan), I'm the girl that cheats on him with "Gollum" or the bad guy, Raf is Gollum, or the one I go to from cheating on Aedan, and Ana is the "Queen" or the fair girl that Aedan finds. I'm feeling really good about this video, and I really hope it turns out alright and we don't embarrass ourselves on camera!
