Alteration of song

Since discovering Sigur Ros it has dramatically changed my choice of song. I am still using the same band and the music applies to the same indie genre however because of the major chords throughout this lowers the tone of the music and so i will no longer be pitching a video emphasising comedy. In addition i feel this slower pace will allow more conventional effects when editing my music video, such as slow motion. Similarly the lift in the music when the chorus cuts in i can imagine bright digetic lights entering the shot reflecting the lively energy coming from the guitar solos and so on.

below are the lyrics to my new song, including annotated ideas as my storyboard and the measurements of time between verses.

Sold My Soul to Rock and Roll

p.s. when this uploaded it seems to have got confused and overlapped some of the writing at the top.

    Quite how you'd achieve those effects I don't know.
