Song Choice

The song I have chosen to make a music video for is the song Lights by Ellie Goulding.
I at first had narrowed it donw to two different songs. Run by Leona Lewis and Guns n Horses by Ellie Goulding. However when I found the song Lights I liked it because it doesn't already have an existing music video. I didn't want the song I chose to have a music video because I didn't want any expectations of how it should be like and I didn't want to be tempted to subconciously copy parts of it. I think the song has a good beat to it and parts of it are slow but other parts have a faster beat which is what I wanted because I'd like to incorporate some dance into it.

Song Lyrics
I had a way then
Losing it all on my own
I had a heart then
But the queen has been overthrown
And I'm not sleeping now
The dark is too hard to beat
And I'm not keeping now
The strength I need to push me
You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
You shining when I'm alone
And so I tell myself that I'll be strong
And dreaming when they're gone
Cuz they're calling, calling, calling me home
Calling, calling, calling home
You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
You shining when I'm alone
Noises, I play within my head
Touch my own skin
And hope that im still breathing
And I think back to when
My brother and my sister slept
In an unlocked place
The only time I feel safe
You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
You shining it when I'm alone
And so I tell myself that I'll be strong
And dreaming when they're gone
Cuz they're calling, calling, calling me home
Calling, calling, calling home
You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
You shining when I'm alone
Lights, lights (x14)
You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
You shining when I'm alone
And so I tell myself that I'll be strong
And dreaming when they're gone
Cuz they're calling, calling, calling me home
Calling, calling, calling home
You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
You shining when I'm alone
Home, home
(Lights, lights, lights)...
