Analysing Lyrics

i think that the song is about a couple that have broken up and the girl has found someone else and the ex is singing about the girls new partner or latest partner because the artist says 'shes wasting all her feelings on a boy she's never met' this connotes that is loving someone who isn't real which connote that she shouldn't be with him because he isn't relevant or doesn't care. He also talks about the boy friend and if he really loves her because he says 'wont you love her the way she loves you' this connotes that he doubts that he loves her like she loves him because he is questioning him. He also says 'would you know her if she didn't know you' which connotes that if it wasnt for her then maybe they wouldn't of went out or anything. I think that the artist is also saying that the girl shouldn't be with him because he says 'says that she is happy but is shy lying' this connotes that she is pretending to be happy when really she isn't and also that shes is acting like shes ok when really she isn't and doesn't know what to do because he says 'shes trying to understand but she cant


Analysing Music

The genre of this song is pop this is because it has the same sort of lyrics that you hear in pop songs which is usually about love. Also you hear the same instruments you hear in pop songs such as guitars and drums. Also the mood of the song is up lifting but the lyrics are meant to be quite sad so where it is a up beat song it doesn't make it that sad which also makes it like pop because usually pop songs are up beat as well.This genre of music is quite a popular genre of music now days and there are a lot of people who listen to this sort of song as well.Also the target audience is the main audience that listened to this genre of music so it is more likely that it would be listened to a lot.


Analysing Tempo

The tempo of the song is quite fast which makes it more happier and less depressing then if it was to have a slow tempo which would make the song sad. Also the beat of the song is uplifting because the instruments are played fast.also the instruments they chose make the song happier because they are played fast and don't use a piano which is usually associated with slow sad songs.

Visually communicate in the video

In certain parts of the song such as 'you see her walking around in the middle of night' i would illustrate that by having a girl walking around late at night in her wedding gown while that part is being sung. Also in the parts of the song where it isn't possible to show what is happening or where it repeats it self i would have shots of the song where it is just the artist lip syncing. I would also amplify parts of the song in parts such as when the artist says 'are you in love' by having a scene where the couple are together but hes acting differently to how she is so it amplifies if the person is really in love.
