Song Choice

Songs that we considered for use were:

• The Fratellis - Flathead
• The Wombats - Techno Fan
• The Vaccines - All in White
• Crystal Fighters - The Plage
• Radical Face - Welcome Home
• The Maccabees - Toothpaste Kisses
• The Courteeners - Aftershow
• The Rumble Strips - Alarm Clock
• The XX - Basic Space

After discussions me and Izzy decided that a suitable song choice for our TA and music genre of 'indie' would be Crystal Fighters song 'The Plage'. We feel with this song we should hopefully be able to create an original and sucessful music video.



I thought it would be important to show the lyrics to the song as it adds context and is useful for when making our video particularly if we choose to create an illustrative music video where the video should visually be telling the lyrics story.

Lyrics to The Plage :

"Do you want to go
to the plage with me?
I'm going down-down-down
there for the morning,
most beautiful girl I've ever seen.
Calm down-down-down,
my love is calling.

Do you want to go
to the plage with me?
I'm going down-down-down
there for the morning,
most beautiful girl I've ever seen.
Calm down-down-down,
my love is calling.

Come over here with your heart
And I will love your heart with mine.

Do you want to go
to the plage with me?
I'm going down-down-down
there for the morning,
most beautiful girl I've ever seen.
Calm down-down-down,
my love is calling.

It's half-past the moonlight.
Nobody would see us go.
(And I wonder) If....
Maybe you will look into my eyes
and you will see just what you done to me.

Time is short. You know you live one life.
It was love at first sight.
And being by your side is the only thing on my mind

Do you want to go
to the plage with me?
I'm going down-down-down
there for the morning,
most beautiful girl I've ever seen.
Calm down-down-down,
my love is calling.

Come over here with your heart
And I will love your heart with mine.

So do you want to go
to the plage with me?
I'm going down-down-down
there for the morning,
most beautiful girl I've ever seen.
Calm down-down-down,
my love is calling.

Do you want to go
to the plage with me?
I'm going down-down-down
there for the morning,
most beautiful girl I've ever seen.
Calm down-down-down,
my love is calling.

Do you want to go
to the plage with me?
I'm going down-down-down
there for the morning,
most beautiful girl I've ever seen.
Calm down-down-down,
my love is calling.

Come over here with your heart
And I will love your heart with mine.

Do you want to go
to the plage with me?
I'm going down-down-down
there for the morning,
most beautiful girl I've ever seen.
Calm down-down-down,
my love is calling.

It's half-past the moonlight.
Nobody would see us go.
(And I wonder) If....
Maybe you will look into my eyes
and you will see just what you done to me.

Time is short. You know you live one life.
It was love at first sight.
And being by your side is the only thing on my mind

Do you want to go
to the plage with me?
I'm going down-down-down
there for the morning,
most beautiful girl I've ever seen.
Calm down-down-down,
my love is calling.

Come over here with your heart
And I will love your heart with mine.

So do you want to go
to the plage with me?
I'm going down-down-down
there for the morning,
most beautiful girl I've ever seen.
Calm down-down-down,
my love is calling."
