Lyric Breakdown

Before we start to think about the initial ideas of what we intend to do with the music video and what we want the music video to achieve, we have broken down the lyrics of the song of our choice "Your Song" by Ellie Goulding which we hope to use in our production of making a music video. Within this lyric breakdown we have noted down exactly when each line starts and ends. This will enable us to work out what would best fit where within the song which varies from different types of shots, choreography of the music video and much more.

Lyric breakdown from BethandVicMedia

After creating a lyric breakdown of "Your Song" by Ellie Goulding, I then went to focus upon the meaning of the lyrics and the story behind them by analysing various lines of the song. In my opinion this song has a sad melody due to its slow beat and gentle sounds, this song may have a meaning of the artist, Ellie,  missing someone who she used to be in a relationship with,  a person who she used to be close to and shared her life with, in which she is creating this song to reminisce on old memories. From lyrics such as " How wonderful live is now your in the world" paints a picture of how the Artist's life changed when she met this specific person and how happy it made her. Other lyrics like "Yours are the sweetest eyes i've ever seen" shows how the Artist is reflecting back and reminiscing on memories and thinking about what she loved about this specific person.
