Chosen song

The song i have chosen to make a video for is 'Punching in a Dream' by The Naked and Famous and the genre is apparently "indie electro"

The band The Naked and Famous  are found to be generally upbeat and strongly use the abstract element in a very creative form, I chose this specific song because you are not limited to ideas yet it has a very rhythmic beat and meaningful lyrics underneath the electronic sound of the song which I think would be really easy to work with. Similar indie electronic bands employ this technique as it adapts to the ‘indie’ genre of being individual and not sticking with the narrative of the song, such as ‘1901’ by Phoenix.

some indie bands combine this with performance, just not with the actual band performing but instead their lego counterparts.
A good example of this is the song 'Fell in love with a girl' by the white stripes and most definitely ‘Parklife’ by Blur.

Lyrics

All the lights go down as I crawl into the spaces
If I died on the screens
Life tearing at the seams

Way-yay-yay-yay-yay
I don't ever wanna be here
Like punching in a dream breathing life into my nightmare

If it falls apart I would surely wake it
Bright lights turn me clean
This is worse than it seems

Way-yay-yay-yay-yay
I don't ever wanna be here
Like punching in a dream breathing life into my nightmare

They'll get through
They'll get you
In the place that you feel it the most
When you're cornered
When it's forming
In the place that you wish was a ghost

Wo-oah


Way-yay-yay-yay-yay
I don't ever wanna be here
Like punching in a dream breathing life into my nightmare
Way-yay-yay-yay-yay
I don't ever wanna be here
Like punching in a dream breathing life into my nightmare
