Chosen Song

He Never Shows - Pom Pom Squad



Lyrics

You are the shadow in the doorway
Gently bleeding on your pickguard
Wrapped around your finger

You said you wanted to steal me away
So I packed a bag, but you never came
And I know that you don't owe me anything
I'm just sick of loving meaning waiting

And you are so hard to hold
He'll call you up but he never shows

Why do you act like you don't when you do,
Just because I used to like you back in high school?
You've got your checklist of shitty excuses
And I've got a habit of making boys like you my muses

And you are so hard to hold
He'll call you up but he never shows
And you are so hard to hold
He'll call you up but he never shows

We chose this song because of it's length, because the song is short it will be easier to a music video as less footage is needed and it is unlikely that we will have to repeat shots or find ways of filling the rest of the song which is a problem previous music videos have faced. In addition, the song's lyrics can be used for the narrative, which will be easy to structure because of the song's clear sections, such as the second verse. However the music video would probably be more successful as more of a performance video which is a convention of the indie rock genre. As the song has a clear beat and clear vocals, the shots will be easy to sync to the beat as well as the performance or lip sync parts will most likely include.
