Possible song choice

Pros: Easy to sing
Repetition of some words which could be edited well in the video
Lyrics relate to things you can do which could be shown easily.

Cons: Too recent

"Heart Skips A Beat"
(feat. Rizzle Kicks)

[Verse 1]
I can see you're not yourself
Even when you're here with me
I know that you're somewhere else

So put another record on
Kiss and leave me on
Nothing really matters when we're dancing
Listen to the same sad song playing on repeat
Cause every time we come this close, my heart skips, skips a beat

[Chorus]
So come on, spin me around
Now I don't wanna go home
Cause when you hold me like this you know my heart skips, skips a beat
I know I should, but I can't leave it alone
And when you hold me like this that's when my heart skips, skips a beat
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

[Verse 2]
So hung up
We can't let go
If you really have to leave
One more time just move me slow

So put another record on
Playing on repeat,
Nothing really matters when we're dancing
Cause all you need to know, is what you do to me,
And every time you hold me close, my heart skips, skips a beat

[Chorus]
So come on, spin me around
Now I don't wanna go home
Cause when you hold me like this you know my heart skips, skips a beat
I know I should, but I can't leave it alone
And when you hold me like this that's when my heart skips, skips a beat
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

[Rizzle Kicks - Rap]
Rizzle Kicks, Yeah
At the start of the night I was like, what?
Let's have a team talk,
Playing with this lady isn't something I'd agree for,
Vibes keep going up and down like a see-saw
Should have just taken her to the cinema to see saw,
Ooh, she let me stay with her, I figured her figure's a sure sure winner,
Plus, I've got to leave from the back I'm a skipper,
You make my heart skip, skip, skip, skip, skip, skip a beat.

[Olly - Chorus/Outro]
So come on, spin me around
Now I don't wanna go home
Cause when you hold me like this you know my heart skips, skips a beat
I know I should, but I can't leave it alone
And when you hold me like this that's when my heart skips, skips a beat
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh 

Possible song choice

Pros: Fast and the video can be edited well with the beat
Easy to sing/rap


Cons: Would be totally different to the original video
Foul language

"Flashing Lights"
(feat. Dwele)

Flashing lights, lights
Flashing lights, lights
Flashing lights, lights
Flashing lights, lights

[Kanye West]
She don't believe in shootin' stars,
but she believe in shoes & cars
Wood floors in the new apartment,
couture from the store's department
You more like L'eau de Stardee shit,
I'm more of the, trips to Florida
Order the h'orderves, views of the Water
Straight from the page of your favorite author
And the weather so breezy,
man why can't life always be this easy
She in the mirror dancing so sleazy,
I get a call like where are you Yeezy
Try to hit you with a 'Oeur de Whopee'
Till I get flashed by the paparazzi
Damn, these nigga's got me,
I hate these nigga's more than the Nazis

[Dwele]
As I recall, I know you love to show off
But I never thought that you would take it this far
What do I know? Flashing lights, lights
What do I know? Flashing lights, lights

[Kanye West]
I know it's been a while,
Sweetheart, we hard-ly talk, I was doing my thing
I know I was foul bay-bay,
a-bay late-ly you been all on my brain,
And if somebody would've told me a month ago
Fronting though, yo I wouldn't wanna know
If somebody would've told me a year ago
it'd go, get this difficult
Feeling like Katrina with no fema
Like Martin with no Gina
Like a flight with no visa
First class with the seat back I still see ya
In my past, you on the other side of the glass
Of my memory's museum,
I'm just saying, Hey Mona Lisa,
come home you know you can't Rome without Caesar

[Dwele]
As I recall, I know you love to show off
But I never thought that you would take it this far
What do I know? Flashing lights, lights
What do I know? Flashing lights, lights

As you recall, you know I love to show off
But you never thought that I would take it this far
What do you know? Flashing lights, lights
What do you know? Flashing lights, lights

Flashing lights, lights
Flashing lights, lights

[Fade out]
Lights, lights, lights, lights... 

Possible song choice

Pros: Lyrics are easy to learn/sing/rap
Not well known
Would be easier to shoot as you could film and follow the performer singing on the streets rather than in a nightclub or studio


Cons: The performer would have to stay still
Song isn't fast and would be difficult to edit quickly
Would be difficult to use many sets

Hi, my name is Jamie, there was a time when radio played me
Cause my music came from my heart, it was real to me
But now it's apart
I'm here struggling, keeping it real, while the rested and my hustling seek in until
Sometimes I sit back and think Jamie just one … make a couple cheese and chill
The reason I started making music is the sad same reason that I'll never do it, I swear
I didn't go through all that for this
I'll give that a miss, that's just how it is, unfair, straight
Who could tell me different, who could be the comment
Mind on the mission, my music is me, and I am my music
So like it or love it, I'ma do this

[Chorus]
I never had a playlist in my heart, oho
Now I need an A list just to chart
For I've been famous from the start
How am I gonna make my mark?
Are you gonna play me, though, someone's never meant for the radio?
I get …radio spin, I'm just doing my thing, and I don't have time for a playlist
How much will you pay me though? Someone's not a hit on the radio, oho, oho, oho, oh

Thank God for night clubs and the rating …
Don't think they like us on the airwaves
Unless we … down, the cordial music is boring me now
I swear, I guess it matter what your goal is
Or in this music scene, what your role is
I'm still trying here, cause I'm a pioneer
I use my mouth less than I use my eyes and ears
See I'm just telling you the truth
Can't shoot the messenger
bullet proof proof,

You won't hear me on the radio, but go to the rave and crowd, they're raising roof
Why does that? What's going on there?
To tell you the truth, I don't really care
I am my music, my music is me
Like it or not, this is how it's gonna be



[Chorus]
I never had a playlist in my heart, oho
Now I need an A list just to chart
For I've been famous from the start
How am I gonna make my mark?
Are you gonna play me, though, someone's never meant for the radio
I get …radio spin, I'm just doing my thing, and I don't have time for a playlist
How much will you pay me though? Someone's not a hit on the radio, oho, oho, oho, oh

I feel it on the airwave, spinning on the dial
Playing through the speakers, written by the part
So won't you hear me out?
Never feel it from the bass line, feel it in the club
Maybe I could take time singing for the dub
So won't you hear me out?
Are you gonna play me, though, someone's never meant for the radio
I get …radio spin, I'm just doing my thing, and I don't have time for a playlist
How much will you pay me though? Someone's not a hit on the radio, oho, oho, oho, oh
Are you gonna play me, though, someone's never meant for the radio
I get …radio spin, I'm just doing my thing, and I don't have time for a playlist
How much will you pay me though? Someone's not a hit on the radio, oho, oho, oho, oh.

Video Ideas/Inspirations

Kid Cudi - Make Her Say


I like the way this video has two landscape frames and I know how to achieve this effect in Final Cut Express and this could possibly be used in my final piece.
