Are just between me and you (oh yeah)
Verse 2: 50 Cent
Give it to me baby, nice and slow
Climb on top, ride like you in the rodeo
You ain't never heard a sound like this before
Cause I ain't never put it down like this
Soon as I come through the door she get to pullin on my zipper
It's like it's a race who can get undressed quicker
Isn't it ironic how erotic it is to watch em in thongs
Had me thinking 'bout that ass after I'm gone
I touch the right spot at the right time
Lights on or lights off, she like it from behind
So seductive, you should see the way she wind
Her hips in slow-mo on the floor when we grind
As Long as she ain't stoppin, homie I aint stoppin
Drippin wet with sweat man its on and popping
All my champagne campaign, bottle after bottle its on
And we gon' sip til every bubble in the bottle is gone

Keep going 'til you hit the spot (woah)

one taste of what I got
I'll have you spending all you got
Keep going 'til you hit the spot (woah)
Westlife - what about now (boy band)
genre characteristics :
the main focus is on the band, a lot of close up of the band members showing there facial expression, mostly performance based.
westlife is a worldwide band and is well known for doing Ballard's, in the video there is a lot of shots of the members of the band and uses a lot of fade out to show this. the connotation is they come across as being sophisticated and serious.
the location is set somewhere cold and icy and the main colour scheme is mainly white the band is dressed head to toe in dark clothing which shows that they are the main visual of the video. there is a lot of usage of extreme close ups of them singing by using this camera angle it shows the expression on their face showing their emotion. the song is a slow and by having a crane shot of the surroundings it goes with the pase of the song, it makes the song seem relaxing and meaningful its not a flashy or in your face type video its more about the voice of westlife. the visual don't exactly match up with the lyrics. The video just has the band singing in it, its not a narrtive just a performance.
Lyrics:
Shadows fill an empty heart
As love is fading,
From all the things that we are
But are not saying
Can we see beyond the stars.
And make it to the dawn?
Change the colors of the sky
And open up to
The ways you made me feel alive,
The ways I loved you
For all the things that never died,
To make it through the night,
Love will find you
What about now?
What about today?
What if you’re making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love never went away?
What if it’s lost behind words we could never find?
Baby, before it’s too late,
What about now?
The sun is breaking in your eyes
To start a new day
This broken heart can still survive
With a touch of your grace
Shadows fade into the light
I am by your side,
Where love will find you
What about now?
What about today?
What if you’re making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love had never went away?
What if it’s lost behind words we could never find?
Baby, before it’s too late,
What about now?
Now that we’re here,
Now that we’ve come this far,
Just hold on
There is nothing to fear,
For I am right beside you.
For all my life,
I am yours.
What about now?
What about today?
What if you’re making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love had never went away?
What if it’s lost behind words we could never find?
What about now?
What about today?
What if you’re making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love had never went away?
What if it’s lost behind words we could never find?
Baby, before it’s too late,
Baby, before it’s too late,
Baby, before it’s too late,
What about now?
Maroon 5 - harder to breathe (indie/rock)
genre characteristic:
mostly performance based, instruments, close up of the lead singer and "rocking out"
Maroon 5 video is a performance based one its just the band singing, there is a lot of close up on the lead singer as he is singing into the microphone there are also close-ups of the instruments while they are being played. During the video there is some usage of some effect, the video uses some stop motion and insert for example the band coming in and out of the shot which makes the video more interesting to watch. The colour scheme is quite dark and the lead singer is wearing a red t-shirt but that is the only bright colour in the video by the lead singer wearing the only bright colour it shows that they wanted to highlight the fact that he is the lead and they wanted him to stand out and be the focus of visuals.
Not all of Maroon 5 videos are performance based some are narrative i choose this video to analysis because i thought it represented the genre of indie/rock best.
The lyrics don't really match the visual because the video is just of the band performing but it does go with it the song, the lyrics seem quite strong and deep and in the video there a lot of dark lighting and the lead singer says the word strongly so i think in a way the visual do go with lyrics.
Lyrics:
How dare you say that my behavior is unacceptable
So condescending unnecessarily critical
I have the tendency of getting very physical
So watch your step cause if I do you'll need a miracle
You drain me dry and make me wonder why I'm even here
This Double Vision I was seeing is finally clear
You want to stay but you know very well I want you gone
Not fit to fuckin' [CD cover says: "funkin'"] tread the ground that I'm walking on
When it gets cold outside and you got nobody to love
You'll understand what I mean when I say
There's no way we're gonna give up
And like a little girl cries in the face of a monster that lives in her dreams
Is there anyone out there cause it's getting harder and harder to breathe
Is there anyone out there cause it's getting harder and harder to breathe
What you are doing is screwing things up inside my head
You should know better you never listened to a word I said
Clutching your pillow and writhing in a naked sweat
Hoping somebody someday will do you like I did
When it gets cold outside and you got nobody to love
You'll understand what I mean when I say
There's no way we're gonna give up
And like a little girl cries in the face of a monster that lives in her dreams
Is there anyone out there cause it's getting harder and harder to breathe
Is there anyone out there cause it's getting harder and harder to breathe
Does it kill
Does it burn
Is it painful to learn
That it's me that has all the control
Does it thrill
Does it sting
When you feel what I bring
And you wish that you had me to hold
When it gets cold outside and you got nobody to love
You'll understand what I mean when I say
There's no way we're gonna give up
And like a little girl cries in the face of a monster that lives in her dreams
Is there anyone out there cause it's getting harder and harder to breathe
Is there anyone out there cause it's getting harder and harder to breathe
is there anyone out there cuz its gettin harder and harder to breathe
