Lyric Analysis - Further Than Feelings

This is the song we have chosen for our music video. We feel that it has a good temp to work with and the lyrics allow us to create a clear narrative. Our main narrative is a love story. Our artist and a girl have broken up and our artist is now going to meet the girl again. he song revolves around feelings and we have interpreted this to mean his feelings for the girl. The chorus suggests that the artist wants to be closer to this girl and we have shown this in the narrative by him returning to the girls house at the end. While the love story is going on our artist will be busking during the performance shots. We have chosen to do this because of the lyrics weird, weird life. By busking we build up a representation of him as an unsettled character without structure to his life or a clear aim he is working towards.
 

 

    I don't know, I don't know if it's just me,

But my mind, feels like, a jazz bar on Southbank, almost all of the time,

Since you came, running skipping tripping over my weird weird life,

Now I wanna spend, all my days, rushing home just to hold your,

Pretty head in my chest at night, so,

  Come a little closer, I wanna know just who you are,

I wanna swim deep in your spirit, And then dry off in your heart,

I wanna throw away the butterflies, And grow eagles wings,

Cus that's how we see things,

yeah it's further than feelings... (x4)

            I don't know, I don't know if it's just me

But my mind, feels like, two feet walking in the snow, without the cold toes,

Since you made, something even more strange out of my weird weird life,

Now I wanna spend, all my days,

Laughing so hard I can feel your heart against my chest at night,

  Come a little closer, I wanna know just who you are,

I wanna swim deep in your spirit, And then dry off in your heart,

I wanna throw away the butterflies, And grow eagles wings,

Cus that's how we see things,

yeah it's further than feelings... (x3)

It's further than feelings.
