TASK 
TRACK 2:

SANDE 
FEATURED ON SANDE’S ALBUM “OUR VERISON 
OF EVENTS” WHICH WAS RELEASED IN FEBRUARY 
2012.
LYRICS OF THE SONG: 
Intro 
Didn't see it coming 
No kind of warning 
I cant work out what I've done wrong 
His clothes are missing 
But his keys are still here 
Please somebody tell me what's going on 
Chorus 
My baby's got a suitcase 
He's telling me its too late 
But don't nobody, please don't ask me why 
Cause all I did was love him 
But I cant stop him walking 
My baby's got a suitcase but please don't ask me 
why 
Verse 2 
What changed so quickly ? 
Answer me ! 
If you must kill me then please, please 
tell me why 
He said don't touch me, get out the way 
Will someone tell me what's going on 
tonight 
Chorus 
My baby's got a suitcase 
He's telling me its too late 
But don't nobody, please don't ask me why 
Cause all I did was love him 
But I cant stop him walking 
My baby's got a suitcase but please don't ask me why
LYRICS CONTINUED : 
Bridge 
I cant stop my heart from leaving through 
the door 
I cant unpack my heart cause he wont look 
at me anymore 
Chorus 
My baby's got a suitcase 
He's telling me its too late 
But don't nobody, please don't ask me why 
Cause all I did was love him 
But I cant stop him walking 
My baby's got a suitcase but please don't ask me 
why
SUMMARY OF LYRICS: 
The lyrics reveal a woman's heartbreak and confusion when her 
lover gets up and leaves her alone out of the blue with no 
explanation as to what she has done wrong. The woman is 
bewildered and surprised by her lovers sudden actions (Didn't 
see it coming, no kind of warning) because she believed that 
everything regarding their relationship was going smoothly 
(Cause all I did was love him). 
The woman is clearly still emotionally attached to her lover as 
she refers to him as her heart ( I cant stop my heart from 
leaving through the door) and implies that she has tried to stop 
her lover from leaving (but I cant stop him walking) however, 
she was unsuccessful in her attempts.
SUMMARY OF PERFORMANCE IDEA: 
The music video will feature two main actors ( male and female) playing the 
role of the couple. 
The video will begin with a series of clips displaying the couple in different locations 
holding hands, hugging, taking walks together and generally being affectionate towards 
each other. 
These clips will be shown quite rapidly so there will be sharp/short cuts between them. 
This will allow the audience to see the loving relationship between the couple. 
The female actor begins to sing the first verse of the song (location undecided) 
there is a flashback displaying her lover placing his clothes in a backpack/suitcase 
and looking back at his girlfriend before he exists the room. 
The female is shown waking up to find that her lover is not beside her/ left the house. 
She goes downstairs to find him just about to leave the house they start arguing 
mouthing some crucial lyrics in the song (what changed so quickly ? Answer me !) 
The female also begs him not to leave her and is shown crying when he eventually 
leaves.
PERFORMANCE IDEA 
CONTINUED: 
The female character is shown sitting down holding photos/ beside 
burning photos. There is a close up of her face which displays her 
crying and possibly being comforted by a friend and this will 
conclude the video.
ACTORS,PROPS AND 
LOCATION: 
ACTORS: 2 main actors (male and female), 2 additional 
actors/extras. 
LOCATIONS: Park/ street, apartment and restaurant/ café. 
PROPS: Backpack/suitcase, clothes, keys, photos and 
furniture. 
The details above are subject to change.
