What Music Means To Me

First song (childhood)- Year 3000 by Busted.

I can remember dancing around to this song in my room pretty much all of the time and humming it during school. I think at one point I even tried to make my own version of the music video for it. It's a fun and energetic song.

Second song (early teens)- Don't Stop Believing (covered) by the cast of Glee.

The show "Glee" was, and arguably still is, a big part of my life. I loved the message of the show- everyone is important, even the underdog. So when I started the show, even though this surprisingly wasn't the first song I heard, it is the one that has meaning. To this day, I have tried to not stop believing.

Third song (present)- It's Time by Imagine Dragons.

Came across this song via the trailer for "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" which is one of my favourite books and my one of my best friends also loves the book. We were both really excited for the film and when we heard this song in the trailer, we adored it. It has a lot of meaning to us friendship wise.

Music Track Research

A list of songs I like and more or less fit the criteria given:

Golden Jubilee by Boy & Bear. The upbeat tempo of this song makes me imagine a young boy exploring a garden but to him it's like exploring a jungle.

Kill of the Night by Gin Wigmore. This would be a performance based video. Most or even all of it set up in a studio.

Bad Things by Meiko. This could be a narrative driven music video. Perhaps the journey of an average teenage girl and how things drastically change for her.

You've Got Time by Regina Spektor. I would see this as a performance driven music video. All of it on stage and as one of the interpretations of the song is about being jailed and trapped, the studio could be set up to possibly look like a prison (if that is achievable) or it could just look really dirty and abandoned.

Bye Bye Bye by 'N Sync. This is one of my favourite songs and I like the styling of the music video (puppets, theatrical studio and in contrast a plain white studio). Also I think a boyband could be a good idea but, this is dependent on whether we can get enough people to be a boyband. However another way of doing this is to have a band of of both genders but the main singers could be the boys.
