Timing of lyrics



Middle class rut- busy bein born
The days keep dragging on (0:20)
Those rats keep pushing on, woah (0:23)
The slowest race around (0:31)
We all just race around, woah (0:33)

And when the hope's gone the weight falls on me (0:40)
Yeah, when I'm gone, the weight falls on me (0:50)


No sense in signing up (1:06)
You're names already in (1:08)
Go ahead, yea, fuck it up, (1:12)
The next guy pays for it (1:14)

'Cuz what I get ain't half of what I give 
and half don't suit me anyway (1:16)

'Cuz what I get ain't half of what I give
and half don't suit me anyway (1:26)

Maybe I sacrifice to feel like I'm alive (1:37)
Penniless… it’s all the same (1:47)
At least I'll die with a name (1:52)

I ain't dead yet! (2:04)

Give it back! (2:27)
Or I’ll take it! (2:30)

Give it back! (2:32
Or I’ll take it! (2:34)

Or I’ll take it! (2:40)

Maybe I sacrifice to feel like I'm alive (2:46)
Penniless… it’s all the same (2:56)
At least I'll die with a name (3:01)

Maybe I sacrifice to feel like I'm alive (3:06)
Penniless… it’s all the same (3:17)
At least I'll die with a name (3:21)

Give it back! (3:28)
Or I’ll take it! (3:31)

Give it back! (3:33)
Or I’ll take it! (3:36)

And when the hope's gone (3:56) 
The weight falls on me  (3:59)
Yeah, when I'm gone (4:06)
The weight falls on me (4:10)

And when the hope's gone (4:17)
The weight falls on me (4:20)
Yeah, when I'm gone (4:27)
The weight falls on me (4:30)

3 initial ideas for my narrative

Idea 1
First idea I came up for my narrative is to do with sport which is how i discovered the song in the first place. For example a football team struggling with performance and end up developing, the narrative would rise with the pace of the song as it starts slow and then an action packed finale. This would be relatable to the audience of the music video as most people know how it feels like to struggle in a team and end up developing and succeeding. However this isn't a narrative that would go well with the audience of the genre of music, as that kind of audience does not like or have any intrest in sport, and the song has nothing to do with sport. (influences include NHL 12 where the song also features, being an example of cross media convergence)

Idea 2
Second would be having no Narrative or story at all, so what would feature in the video would be whats considered an artistic video. This would include bizarre imagery cross cutting with the band performing in the video at night. This would be good because it goes with the genre of the music as the themes of music videos that go with this genre and the audience of the genre "appreciate" these kind of videos as there only interests are the band  and nothing else other than that.

Idea 3
And my third idea for a music video would be your typical love story where the guy sits in the dark and see many girls pass by but then have that one girl stand out getting abused so he stops it and stops the guy abusing her she tries to stop him however and the main protagonist shows his love but the girl then wants none of it living anger and rage for the protagonist and he takes his anger out on the couple. This would not be a good choice of narrative because this is not a love song and the form of the video doesn't go with the song either. Sure it doesn't have to, but to make it a good video, it must have some relation to the narrative.

Treatment

 Band Performance including eletric gutairs drums and a singer who will be lip syncing. The band will play at night on a park location going with artistic imagry cross cutting between the performance. Band will wear dark costume and makeup to go with the genre of the song.
