R+P Post 18: Analysis of my track's lyrics and instrumentation

LYRICS AND IDEAS:

  • "Slot machine" - we will have a prop slot machine in an arcade, as a literal connotation of the lyrics.
  • "Don't wake me up I'm having  a sweet dream" and "do you remember" - The lead singer is reminiscing over her fondest memories and doesn't want it to end. We are going to portray this using a dream sequence that depicts her reliving close moments she shares with all the people closest to her in her life.
  • "Sitting under the old magic tree" - This reminded us of Alice in Wonderland sitting under a tree before she enters her dream world, so we thought it would be visually engaging for the lead singer to become Alice in this part of the video. It also amphasises the fact that she is in a dream that is very different from reality.
  • "Lucy in the sky smiling down" - We will make an explicit intertextual reference to the Beatles by having one of the characters dress as one of the beatles from the sgt pepper album cover. Our other references include Singing in the rain and a fight game sequence.





Our narrative will follow the lead singer falling asleep and entering a dream sequence where she is reliving old memories from her past, highlighting her relationship with her brother, her best friend, and her ex-boyfriend, finishing with her wakng up and realising that the present is not as bad as she thought it was, and that she needs to stop living in the past.

The style of this particular song uses a synth/keyboard with a muted affect, which sounds similar to retro game music (for example on Super Mario Land). Additionally, the guitar part in the opening of the song is slow and dream like, whihc is why we went for a retro-dream aesthetic for our video.
