3. After looking at the word cloud of the lyrics I have came up with a few
album title ideas, that would fit in with the construction of my star
and the connotations of the single (the song).
Torn Away
Erased
Too late
Almost there
Nostalgic Moments
Changes
Lonely days and sleepless nights
Born to love
Chords and heartbreak
Here without you
Lonesome days
These album title ideas are
linked to heartbreak and
memories of the past; this is
what I want to incorporate into
my music video.
4. Damn, I want my baby back
It's so cold without her
Cold without her
She's gone
Now I'm alone, no one to hold on
Cause she was the only one
And I know I was dead wrong
But if you you you
If you you you
See her sooonn
Ask her will she forgive me
The introduction of this song is also quite instrumental, with a piano solo starting off
the song. The lyrics suggests to us that the singer wants his lover back and life feels
cold without her, or perhaps her treatment towards him is ‘cold’ from his point of
view. The imagery that I get from this is a lonely man walking around harsh weather
and some images of cold places; snow and leaves falling. Things around him being a
reminiscent of her; places that they have to, things that they have done together
etc. This stanza talks a lot about loneliness, so it conveys the image of a person being
alone, and isolation is perhaps the running theme of this song. Themes of
heartbrokenness and isolation arise from this section of the song, the song has a very
remorseful tone added to it as he is asking others if they see her to ask her if she can
forgive him and give him another chance.
5. If you ever see her
If you ever meet her
If you ever get a chance to sit down and talk to
her
Then tell her it's so cold
It's so cold, it's so cold
Here without her
And tell her I miss her
Tell her I need her
Tell her I want her
I really want her to come back home, back to
keep me warm
Tell her I'm sorry, I'm really sorry
Can you forgive me?
Please forgive me
And come back home, keep me safe and warm
The hook of this song also exhibits feelings of remorse towards the old girlfriend. The theme of
loneliness and coldness also comes to mind when looking at the hook; it shows us that the singer
is desperate and literally begging to have his girlfriend back because he cannot cope with life
without her. The pronoun ‘her’ has been repeated many times in this verse; therefore the song is
completely focused upon ‘her’ nothing else. The noun ‘miss’ is used in the hook, this signifies
nostalgia, and perhaps the singer could be looking through old photographs of when they were
happy etc, as this will juxtapose with the current situation.
6. Now my baby's really gone
I don't know if she's coming home
My luck's up, I f*cked up
I know
Tell me what to do to get her back
Back where her heart belongs, been gone
from me too long
So if you you u, seen my boo o o
Please can you you you
Can you tell her for me
The second verse of this song is slightly more realistic from the singer’s point of
view; as he now realised that he has messed up his relationship and chances of
them getting back together is very slim. But he still shows signs of hope, as he
knows that her heart belongs with his; he is still telling people to tell her that he
still loves her. The imagery that I get from this verse is tension between the two;
arguments and accusations etc, and this is convention of R&B music videos as
couples always split through an argument, and they resolve their issues and get
back together.
7. All them girls across the world
You know you gotta be my
girl
All them girls across the world
You know you gotta be my
girl
All them girls across the world
You know you gotta be my
girl
All them girls across the world
You know you gotta be my
girl
Bridge
The bridge is a verse that is sort of fan-orientated as he is bragging about
meeting girls all around the world. It also means that he is saying that he
can be with any girl in the world, but he chooses to be with her. It shows us
that the singer is loyal to the ones the he loves. The artist is known for his
dancing so this part of the song would go perfectly with a dance scene.
8. If you ever see her, if you ever meet her
If you ever get the chance to sit down
and talk to her
Let her know it's so cold, it's so cold, it's
so cold
Here without her
The ending of the song is similar to the introduction; same remorseful tone,
loneliness and the theme of cold weather. He is still pleading people around
him to tell her that he is sorry and still loves her.
