Track

My chosen track is The Vaccines- 'Family Friend', I was torn between this track and another song of theirs 'Wetsuit'. As the latter was more upbeat and I had lots of ideas that would work for the song. However, I chose 'Family Friend' as the ideas that I had for the video matched the style of the band and the track really well but also allowed me to create a music video in a style that I would most like to do.

When choosing the track and applying a concept that would fit the song I had to take into consideration the meaning of the song. Justin Young (The Vaccines front man) said "This song has two parts. The first is sweet. The second is bitter."[1] With this I feel that he is referring to the meaning of the song being about not being able to do things that you want anymore because you've got older and are supposed to be more 'mature'. Taking this into consideration I want to illustrate a the rebellious stage that a teenager stereotypically has, as with representation I am able to illustrate the meaning of the song as these are things that cant be done anymore. 




Lyrics

They've all got their opinions but then what do they know
If you can't go back, where the hell do you go?
Does everybody really feel as high as a kite?
Well I don't really know if they do but they might

You wanna get young but you're just getting older
And you had a fun summer but it's suddenly colder
If you want a bit of love put your head on my shoulder
It's cool

They've all got their opinions but then what do they know
If you can't go back, where the hell do you go?
Does everybody really feel as high as a kite?
Well I don't really know if they do but they might

You wanna get young but you're just getting older
And you had a fun summer but it's suddenly colder
If you want a bit of love put your head on my shoulder
It's cool
You wanna get young but you're just getting older
And you had a fun summer but it's suddenly colder
If you want a bit of love put your head on my shoulder
It's cool

Half baked girl
Hey, I'm hardly surprised
Snake eyes disguise everybody's lies
Faded nail marks on pale thighs and an awkward secret that someone denies
And now you're trying to get yourself back in
Come on in

(this end section speeds up, so in accordance to this I am going to include most cuts and increase the speed between them)

You wanna get young but you're just getting older
And you had a fun summer but it's suddenly colder
If you want a bit of love put your head on my shoulder
It's cool
You wanna get young but you're just getting older
And you had a fun summer but it's suddenly colder
If you want a bit of love put your head on my shoulder
It's cool
