The document discusses filming ideas for a music video to accompany the song "Goodbye My Lover" by James Blunt. It proposes shooting scenes at a park and possibly a house to portray loneliness and suggest a cheating scenario. Props like an empty vodka bottle and photo album could be used to depict the protagonist's life being over and looking back on their life. Shot ideas include the man and woman together at first but then the man looking desperate as the woman looks miserable and walks away, followed by flashbacks of them being happy.
