In the music industry copyright is a huge problem for record labels, if i were to use music that is owned by a label i would have to pay huge sums of money for the right to play it. Because of this and the faxt we were using a song by Blink 182 owned by a record label we had to inform them of our intention to use their music.

Lyric Analysis Blink 182 - 'Down'

According to the lyricist Tom De Longe, the song is about a boy's desperation to kiss a girl and stop her from leaving as they both sit in a car whilst it rains heavily down (hence the chorus - 'Down, down, down')  the lyrics symbolise strongly the breakdown of a relationship 'This can't be the end'. For our music video we want to show a relationship falling apart as the lyrics are so strong the narrative needs to back up the song emotionally.

Blink 182 - Down Lyrics

The drops of rain they fall all over
This awkward silence makes me crazy
The glow inside burns light upon her
I'll try to kiss you if you let me
(this can't be the end)

Tidal waves they rip right through me
Tears from eyes worn cold and sad
Pick me up now, I need you so bad

Down down down down [x4]
It gets me so
Down down down down [x4]
It gets me so

Your vows of silence fall all over
The look in your eyes makes me crazy
I feel the darkness break upon her
I'll take you over if you let me
(You did this)

Tidal waves they rip right through me
Tears from eyes worn cold and sad
Pick me up now, I need you so bad.

Down down down down [x4]
It gets me so
Down down down down [x4]
It gets me so
