Draft Email To Send To Record Company

We have decided to email Domino records as they were the primary company that made the Arctic Monkeys who they are today. They do not sign the best and biggest artists but they have a good history of making good music and selling organic artists songs all over the country.

Casting Our Band

We took a few photos of our band in a small studio so that we could grasp the full experience of having an organic band in our presence. They are all young boys who all have many similarities in terms of interests (music is obvious), style and looks. We have decided to cast them in our video as they fit the criteria of being an indie rock band such as... Keeping it simple in terms of what they dress, how they perform etc. They do not like to make music that is heavily edited as well as editing themselves through things such as clothing and makeup. They also like to wear clothes that suits their attributes and do not have the need to match one another as they are representing themselves as an individual member of the band but at the same time representing the group itself. The bass player has that quiet look as if there is a hierarchy when it comes to the importance of positions. The drummer seems to have an up-beat look about him that makes him an exciting part of the band, and the guitarist/lead singer is the one with the cool guitar and cool looks and will take the centre stage when we come to film our video.

Lyrics and Explanations Development

It is clear that these lyrics contain clausal elements which adhere to our narrative. First off, the song starts off with the lyric, 'I buried my heart in a hole in the ground', which signifies how our character is going to be empty inside due to his daily problems. 'Cowards downtown' signifies the hateful people in this persons life. 'I buried my guilt' hints that the antagonist/protagonist has buried his past and has grown a new attribute into his life. Music

I buried my heart in a hole in the ground
With the lights and the roses and the cowards downtown
They threw me a party, there was no one around
They tried to call my girl but she could not be found

I buried my guilt in a pit in the sand
With the rust and the vultures and the trash downtown
So don't step to me, kid, you'll never be found
Cause while you were sleeping, I took over your town

When I see a man, I see a lion
When I see a man, I see a lion
You're the apple of my eye, of my eye, of my eye
You're the apple of my eye, of my eye, won't ya

I fell for a girl with a port-wine stain
I knew her initials but never her name
I tried and I tried and I was never the same
So no longer through love and I'm forever changed

When I see a man, I see a lion
When I see a man, I see a lion
You're the apple of my eye, of my eye, of my eye
You're the apple of my eye, of my eye, won't ya
Give up my money, give up my name, take it away
I'll give it away, I'll give it away, I'll give it
When I see a man, I see a lion
When I see a man, I see a lion

When I see a man, I see a lion
When I see a man, I see a lion
You're the apple of my eye, of my eye, of my eye
You're the apple of my eye, of my eye, won't ya
Give up my money, give up my name, take it away
I'll give it away, I'll give it away, I'll give it
I'm a sycophantic animal, I'm a sycophantic animal, I'm a sycophantic animal
Break up the chain, I'll break up the chain, I'll break it
Give it away, I'll give it away, I'll give it
When I see a man, I see a lion
When I see a man, I see a lion
You're the apple of my eye, of my eye, of my eye
You're the apple of my eye, of my eye, won't ya
Give up my money, give up my name, take it away
Give it away, give it away, I'll give it
See you again, I'll see you again, I'll see ya
Give it away, I'll give it away, I'll give it
When I feel low, when I feel low, I feel it
When I see a man, I see a lion
When I see a man, I see a lion
You're the apple of my eye, of my eye, of my eye
You're the apple of my eye, of my eye, won't ya

Locations Of Music Video

For our locations we want to use very dirty and dull areas for the narrative purely because it will accentuate the child/musicians upbringing and emphasise how his life transitioned to a much lighter future. He will grow up in a council house in a suburban area, right next to a high-street (Edgware). The drug deals will take place on station platforms at night, making it look more dangerous. We would like the performance element to be located in a studio, preferably a big one. However the cheapest one we could find was in mill hill. We would like to use the places below as key areas to use within our music video, as it is a way of connecting with the audience as some of these places are recognisable. Thus increasing the chances of any public awareness.

1st Poster Ideas For Our Band

This post is going to show the process in which I designed the bands tour poster. They all consist of a brick wall with some shining light on it, which connotes that there is something exciting on the other side as well as cohering with the name 'The Walls'. Also it hints some of the songs true meanings 'there is an end to everything, both good and bad'. It is a simple poster that doesn't require a lot of editing and synthetic looks. Purely because we are an individual band without a super high budget meaning we don't get professionals to get things done. We also wanted the brick wall to show an urban style of life as it transcends the idea of indie music, everything isn't perfect. In the future we hope to add our band to the posters/tour posters to give the audience an idea of what music we present.
