Of Monsters and Men- Little Talks Lyrics

Of monsters and men Little Talks
Hey! Hey! Hey!
I don't like walking around this old and empty house
So hold my hand, I'll walk with you, my dear
The stairs creak as you sleep, it's keeping me awake
It's the house telling you to close your eyes
And some days I can't even dress myself
It's killing me to see you this way
'Cause though the truth may vary
This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore
Hey! Hey! Hey!
There's an old voice in my head that's holding me back
Well tell her that I miss our little talks
Soon it will be over and buried with our past
We used to play outside when we were young
And full of life and full of love.
Some days I don't know if I am wrong or right
Your mind is playing tricks on you, my dear
'Cause though the truth may vary
This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore
Hey! Don't listen to a word I say
Hey!
The screams all sound the same
Hey!
Though the truth may vary
This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore
Hey!
Hey!
You're gone, gone, gone away
I watched you disappear
All that's left is the ghost of you.
Now we're torn, torn, torn apart,
There's nothing we can do
Just let me go we'll meet again soon
Now wait, wait, wait for me
Please hang around
I'll see you when I fall asleep
Hey!
Don't listen to a word I say
Hey!
The screams all sound the same
Hey!
Though the truth may vary
This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore
Don't listen to a word I say
Hey!
The screams all sound the same
Hey!
Though the truth may vary
This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore
Though the truth may vary
This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore
Though the truth may vary
This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore

I have put the lyrics on my blog because my partner and I have decided to base our video on the lyrics of the song. We have chosen to amplify and illustrate the lyric through the visuals of the video and because of this they lyrics are really important. By reading through the lyrics it helps us to get ideas about what they could show and how we can portray them.

The highlighted sections of the lyrics gave me ideas about what I could include in my video.  For example "I don't like walking around this old and empty house" could be shot in a house with only one person in the shot. The next quote I have highlighted is from the chorus saying "the screams all sound the same" and here the characters in the video could be arguing about something meaning they're literally screaming at each other. I've also highlighted "you're gone, gone, gone away, I watched you disappear all that's left is the ghost of you" and I thought that this could be good to overlay one shot of a character over the other so they look faded and more ghostly. Or to use long fading transitions so the characters literally disappear.
