Lyrics Analysis.

The first few lines of the lyrics set the theme of the song from the start. "So when the waves swallow us, when words are just not enough, when the salt water fills our lungs, i'll be there to drown with you". The audience or listener can imeditately tell that it is about the topic of loss, and love of an object or being. The song is actually about climate change and its negative effects upon the earth which surrounds us. By the artist saying; "i'll be there to drown with you" this indicates to us that he is willing to make the ultimate sacrafice to show his love towards the earth. This will hopefully be represented within the music video with a variety of shots and images related to the subject. During the chorus, the artist refers to the sea. "And I’ve been waiting for a silence a silence to break, In the water, in the waves" In order to make links between the two different platforms of media, video and song, we could possibly use shots of the sea, or the artist playing his guitar in this location. "When the waves come, They’ll wash away our sins tonight"  These two lines almost seem as if the artist wants to enter the sea. This is something which needs to be highly considered when planning the video.
