Tei Daratsa - Lost my way (lyrics)

Remember when we used to speak

It’s been long since we did

And it’s cold without you here

So come back to me

I said I’ll treat you right

I’ll be here with open arms tonight

And I’ll show you the light

And I’ll hold you tight

I don’t think I can make it past tomorrow

Without you beside me

I’m all alone

On my own

The wind blows so slow

Now you’ve gone away

Can’t find a way back home

And I’ve lost my way

Mmm oh

I must have been out of my mind

To think that you were mine

Cos’ you were one of a kind

But your heart I cannot find

And I said I’ll treat you right

I’ll be here with open arms tonight

To show you the light

And I’ll hold you tight

I don’t think I can make it past tomorrow without you beside me

I’m all alone on my own

The wind blows so slow

Now you’ve gone away

Can’t find a way back home

And I’ve lost my way

Oh

Mmm oh

I’ve lost my way

I’ve lost my way

In the lyrics you can tell a lot from the song and what its meant to portray, we have tried to convey the ideas of the song through our music video in many different ways. The song seems to be as if he has lost a girl in his wrong doing and now he wants here back. In the music videos narrative section we have tried to make the actor in the music video look as if he is a very upset young boy. We try to make the actor look as if he had been left by having him make facial expressions that will have people giving him sympathy.

We have also tried to make it look as if he is very uncaring over his appearance by having him just wake up, shove his clothes on and then go out in the morning without showering or getting ready. When the song starts to pick up we will have the narrative flashing back to times when the couple were together and they were happy. This will be one the penultimate clip as it will be the one that lets people know that he is actually missing the girl and that they used to have good times together as. In the beginning of the music video we just get to see an angry man with no purpose, this will hopefully make people want to know why hes angry and carry on watching and then when the centre of the song hits we will havr the flashbacks. 

I believe that by doing this we have been able to realise that we will need to link the narrative a bit more to the lyrics of the video so that it all fits together well.  By doing so we will be able to grap peoples attention and therefore keep them interested in the music video from the beginning. By doing this whilst were in the midst of  starting our editing it will help us to look at getting more footage that relates to the lyrics.
