Task 4 - Analyse The Track

This is the lyrics to the song that we have chosen to make a music video for, The Loveable Rogues - Honest ft. Ms D.

Meaning:

The meaning of this song is about someone trying to change the way the were and wanting to become more 'Honest' so that the person they love will come back and see that they have changed the way they were which made them leave. The song is also about how days will be better once they are back together because he is a changed person. They probably chose the song to mean this because people may be able to relate to the lyrics and what it is about, because they will be able to relate to the song they will enjoy it more and this will cause them to listen to the song more. With more people listening to the song, because they can relate to it, the sales will increase and they will be able to get more of a profit.

Content:

The content of this song is very repetitive and most of the lyrics are repeated. They would have chose to make the song repetitive because then it will get the meaning of the song across easier then if it was all different lyrics. The lyrics are also repeated because then it can be easily followed and people wouldn't have to listen to the whole song to understand the meaning. Another reason for it being repetitive is that it will stick into peoples head because the lyrics are repeated and they will be able to learn the song easily. This is a good thing because with the song in peoples heads then they will be thinking of the song and would want to buy the song so they can listen to it again because it is catchy.

Imagery:

The image that this song pictures is one of a couple breaking up because of someone not being 'honest'. It also pictures the person trying to change the way they were so they can get the person they love back. They most likely aim to portray an image like this so people can relate a situation to the song and it goes very well with what the song is about. Also the song portrays an image like this because more people are likely to be able to relate to something like this. They will use the song to create an image because most people are likely to have that image on their ind for a while after listening to the song and this may influence them to buy the song so they can listen to it again. With a better image and more people buying the song they will be able to get more sales of their song.

Narrative:

The song doesn't really have a story behind it because there isn't a music video for it yet for people to see the full story. People may be able to create a story for the song in their imaginations when they are listening to the song. During the lyrics there is times where you are able to follow it to create a story but other times there is just a repeat of lyrics so you will most likely imagine the same thing happening again.
