Pitch idea based on lyrics

I have analysed the lyrics of Madonna's 'This Used To Be My Playground', and I have annotated the piece as to what I would have pictured the music video to be like. I then compared my ideas to the actual music video and I learnt that the music video can be a lot deeper and have a more impacting meaning to it rather than link to the lyrics directly.














I have also based an idea on the lyrics from TFI which I intend to use. From the lyrics I have created an idea for a music video. It begins off with a teenage boy walking into an inn where his ex-girlfriend works who due to him cheating on her decides to poison his drink with cyanide (the name of the song) which inevitably kills him, and the girlfriend gets her revenge.

CYANIDE

Intro: Bm, G, F, E

Welcome to the holiday inn for broken hearts

Leave your feelings on the check inn table

Hush your mouth honey, no crying round here

Neck that drink watch them all disappear

Ohhhhhhhh

 Welcome to the holiday inn for broken hearts

Would you like to see our specialty?

Couple having dinner but to his surprise

In his drink was just a drop of cyanide

He couldn't hide

F,E

This is an anthem to show them we're not defeated

Stand tall and stand proud, in the face of evil

Bm, G, F, E, G

Baby, why can't you see,

You mean nothing to me

You had your chance when you walked out the door

And left me begging on my knees

 

Baby, why can't you see

You mean nothing to me,

There ain't no second chance,

You have danced your last dance,

Because baby, baby, I'm free!

 

Bm, G, F, E

Yes indeed.

Welcome to the holiday inn for reformed hearts

Leave that knife upon the check in table

I know she dragged it up and down your back

But what goes around, comes around, how about that?!

Ohhhhhh.

 

F,E

This is an anthem to show them we're not defeated

Stand tall and stand proud, in the face of evil

 

Bm, G, F, E, G

Baby, why can't you see,

You mean nothing to me

You had your chance when you walked out the door

And left me begging on my knees

 

Baby, why can't you see

You mean nothing to me,

There ain't no second chance,

You have danced your last dance,

Because baby, baby, I'm free

Yes indeed.
