Lyrics and Ideas for Music Video **

Faces going places lyrics


There's so many people at the station

Waiting for a train to

Take them on some long journey far, far away



There's a boy with a smile

Thinking about Marie

Cuz he caught her in the shower last night, accidentally

He caught her in the shower last night, accidentally



There's a woman with a baby

Trying to make it stop crying

So she's bribing it with another lollipop



There's a girl with a boyfriend

She's in way too far cuz

I saw him looking at another woman's heart

I saw him looking at another woman's heart



And people say that I'm just being lazy

I've got the dreams but don't know where to go

I think if I could choose to live here at the station I would



There's a man with a bald patch

At the back of his head

His heart is getting sleepy

And he's watching where he treads



A group stretch of girls are standing in a line

Naivete exploding as he gives them all the eye

Naivete exploding as he gives them all the eye



The lady with the basket

Full of all her eggs

She's counted them too quickly

She'll wake up and they'll be dead



The boy who's lost his marbles

Has found them down the drain

The slit's too thin to get them so he'll have to start again

The slit's too thin to get them so he'll have to start again



And people say that I'm just being lazy

I've got the dreams but don't know where to go

I think if I could choose to live here at the station

To live here at the station

Oh, I think if I could choose to live here at the station

I would



With the theme of this song being about a train station, we thought it would be suitable to have the setting of this video at our local train station.



Our Pitch

We had to collect all our ideas in order to deliver them to our peers. Our pitch we presented included genre, pace, branding and amplify just to name a few.
We discussed how due to the contents of the lyrics, we thought filming within a station would be suiting for the music video, our peers thought this would also be a good idea. The pace will be of a melancholy mood as the rhythm of the song is laid-back, so we want the pace to reflect this aswell. Being a female vocalist on the track we thought the branding should show her being simular to those who are within her target audience ( expected ages to range from 14-30) we feel that making her relatable will be the strongest branding. A 'girl next door' esque situation. Of course our pitch only involves the beginning stages of our planning process, and our ideas and plans are evolving all the time.

Further Planning

When planning our music video, we began to think that the possibility of doing all our filming within a train station would be time consuming for our group and the train station aswell. We came up with the idea that some scenes would be shot in the station such as close-up vocals of the person role-playing the artist, then other scenes that we will use will be around our school and around our local area. Therefore the opportunity to film a large majority of the video outside means we can film any time of day, which will result in a much better quality music video.
