2. Our song
We have chosen the song ‘AKA… Broken Arrow’ by
Noel Gallagher’s high flying birds
We have chosen this song because there are many
ways you could interpret it.
We have chosen to portray the song as the lead
singers battle with drugs.
We have chosen to have a male and female as the
main people in the video, the storyline revolving
around the man. The man will also be the lead
singer of the band as there is a lot of use of personal
pronouns throughout the song.
3. Lyrics
Leave me peace I'm on the side of the angels
If I die in a dream then
Let me live my life
But all the lies they have told me
They make me wanna shiver
And I'm lost and I'm lonely
And that's not gunna ease my troubled mind
We have interpreted ‘lies’ - referring to the hallucinations he
experiences and ‘shiver’ as his fear from what he see’s.
The drugs have made his mind troubled, ‘ Leave me in peace I’m on
the side of the angels’ - he would rather use than have to face up to
his problems and what the real world is like.
‘If I die in a dream, then let me live my life’ – hints that if what he’s
seeing isn’t true that he is happy to live there anyway.
‘I’m lost and I’m lonely’ – he’s left behind the world he once knew,
he’s been left alone to deal with his problems.
