Planning- Lyrics

Time waits for no one
So do you want to waste some time?
Oh, oh tonight
Don't be afraid of tomorrow
Just take my hand
I'll make it feel so much better tonight


Suddenly my eyes are open
Everything comes into focus, oh
We are all illuminated
Lights are shining on our faces, blinding


Swing me these sorrows
And try delusion for a while
It's such a beautiful night
You've got to lose inhibition
Romance your ego for a while
Come on, give it a try


Suddenly my eyes are open
Everything comes into focus, oh
We are all illuminated
Lights are shining on our faces, blinding


We are, we are blinding
We are, we are blinding


Suddenly my eyes are open
Everything comes into focus, oh
We are all illuminated
Lights are shining on our faces, blinding


We are, we are blinding
We are, we are blinding

When I see these lyrics I think of a stage performance like a dance or singing performance in front of a huge audience and I know from being on stage performing dance and drama that its scary that the audience can see you so clearly as you hightlighted by the stage light but you lok into a black space as you cant see the audience because you are literally blinded by the lights. I really like the idea of showing this.
Like showing a stage production I dont even have show an audience I just want the audience to see the reactions with the lighting.

I like the idea of the Singer and one of the dancers communicating together cause you see in some music videos for example.
Brianstorm by the artic monkeys they have atleast 15 dancers and they are just there for any accessory they dont interact with them they are purley there for show.
Compare to something like Beyonce- Single ladies she works with the two other dancer to make a triete its completely focused on her and the dancers they both get jut as much screentime.

Time waits for no one
So do you want to waste some time?
Oh, oh tonight
Don't be afraid of tomorrow
Just take my hand
I'll make it feel so much better tonight

So there I could have the singer literally singing to the dancers as if they were on stage together and in the verse Dont be afriad of tomororw jsut take my hand, literally the singer takes the dancers hand I could exentuate this by including something like a lift or motion to show they really are communicating.

Suddenly my eyes are open
Everything comes into focus, oh
We are all illuminated
Lights are shining on our faces,blinding

I really like the idea of being experimental with the lighting especially is I decide to film in the pit I have the use of lots of stage lights from the celing that I should make use of. I would definatey use a white spot light as it will show up the most as its will be a black and white film.
I could really enhamnce on the lyrics at blinded with extreme close ups of them squinting at the light.
Im quite lucky this is a short and sweet song. it isnt to long thought I do think it is a bit repetivtive in some areas but I will try and make this intresting by included lots of different shots and not repetiting on areas.

I personally think that the lyrics are a narrative itself they tell a story and I can just go along with it in a performance. So I am going to produce a performance music video and let the lyrics do the talking to the audience I dont want to overcomplicate things. With like relationships and drama, The song is not complicated so im going to leave it that way.
