'READY TO GO' SONG LYRICS

You're weird, in tears, too near and too far away,
He said, saw red, went home stayed in bed all day,
Your t'shirt, dish dirt,
Always love the one you hurt

It's a crack, I'm back yeah standing
On the rooftops shouting out,
Baby I'm ready to go
I'm back and ready to go
From the rooftops shout it out
It's a crack, I'm back yeah standing
On the rooftops having it
Baby I'm ready to go
I'm back and ready to go
From the rooftops shout it out, shout it out

You sleep, too deep, one week is another world
Big mouth, big mouth, drop out, drop out
You get what you deserve
You're stange, insane, one thing you can never change

It's a crack, I'm back yeah standing
On the rooftops shouting out,
Baby I'm ready to go
I'm back and ready to go
From the rooftops shout it out
It's a crack, I'm back yeah standing
On the rooftops having it
Baby I'm ready to go
I'm back and ready to go
From the rooftops shout it out, shout it out

Abused, confused, always love the one that
hurt ya hurt ya hurt ya

It's a crack, baby I'm ready to go
Baby I'm ready to go... 

We have printed these lyrics on to a large piece of paper in order to annotate it with our ideas and this way we are able to draw arrows from each line so that it creates a more detailed vision.
Overall Ideas 
 - The song has an intro which starts of soft then the electric guitar kicks in, we thought for this part of the song we could introduce ourselves as a band by us Dragonfly walking in slow motion this is to establish the band and become aware of our different identities. A location we are very confident in using in our music video is Greenwich, this has different areas which would suit nicely with the kind of music video we want to create as it is quite an edgy vintage area of which matches what we are trying to portray of the band.

- Throughout the video we had an idea of including clips of places in Greenwich such as the vintage shops, cafes, restaurants, park etc mainly to show a background more personal level of the band to the fans and also to show realism.
 
- We may add pictures to show 'behind the scene images'. We was thinking of using a picture editing tool, either instagram and cinegram this creates a response were the audience feel on a personal level with the band by seeing what actually goes on behind the scenes.
 
-In the lesson as well as thinking of ideas we experimented with lighting which we could use to shoot in, whether we should keep it in normal lighting or mess around with the effects we have not yet decided.

- We thought that we could create a narrative within the video therefore we thought of the idea off perhaps paparazzi or a big group of fans could be chasing the band and we would hide in vintage shops trying on clothes and different disguises some could be of well known iconic women.  

- Based from a line from the song 'on the rooftop shouting out' we had a vision to have a shot of us performing on a rooftop and this shot will be shown every time these lyrics come up. There has been big discussion about  health and safety issues that would be  involved, we had an idea on doing it on the school roof however we may need to rethink this whole idea as we are not sure it would be realistic.

- We are trying to plan as realistically as we can so yet again we had discussed to use a normal drum kit or an electric? Because we were basing it on vintage, retro is another word we could use instead of vintage. An electric drum kit would add an 80s vibe and would make our music video retro/80s.

-Another performing idea was using Joely's garden which would come across us documentary style footage of us recording the song in the garden. We ended up dismissing this idea.

We have thought about many things that we want to include in our music video, it is just the matter of making it work and getting the equipment. And we will also have to find out if we need permission to video in our chosen location.
