Singer-Songwriters BBC4

While settling down to friday night TV I found myself coming across BBC4 playing 'singer-songwriters at the BBC'. I looked into it and found that it is a series they are running for a couple of weeks. They are running the series for 4 episodes.

The show features a compilation of singer-songwriters performing from archive footage from programmes such as: Old Grey Whistle Test, In Concert, Top of the Pops, Sounds for Saturday, the Bobby Gentry Show and One in Ten.

The Video!

Lyric Analysis

As mentioned earlier on, the song is about a girl moving on. With this fact, it could really inspire us for the storyboard, and storyline of the music video that we are going to produce. This opens up different ideas for the storyline, whereas before, we thought it was about the guy leaving to go to College. But instead, its about a girl moving away. He also sings about, the relationship still being there when they both meet another time in the future, and that he doesn't want to lose her because of the distance.

Although Chase Coy said the lyrics are meant to be about a girl leaving the lyrics of the song show more of a narrative of the singer leaving.

"One more year and I'll be heading out on my own"

"I don't wanna go"

This means we could the story as the girl leaving or the guy leaving. At least this way we can explore the idea of different narratives.

Idea behind the song 'All those nights'

Originally our group tried figuring out the story behind the lyrics and meaning of the song. We initailly agreed that Chase Coy was singing about moving on with his life and not wanting to leave back the good memories he shared with his lover. So that itself gave us a backbone to the storyline we are gonna potray in the music video.

But later today after looking at Chase Coys fanbase on facebook i realised he tries communicates with his fans as often as he can when he isn't on tour or working. So i left a comment on his facebook aking for information about his inspiration for the song we're working on and hoping for an answer.





















I later on had a response from him Coy himself saying the story is about a girl moving on with her life. so we got it the other way round. This helps us build a better and more accurate story to the song itself

Lyrics All Those Nights

One more year and I'll be heading out on my own
Leaving friends and the place that I call home,
I don't wanna go
I just need to know that I can come back
I need to know, I only need to know that
You'll be here when I come back home
'Cause I don't wanna miss
A single autumn evening here with you like this
I don't wanna miss

All those nights we danced by the moonlight
Conversations about nothing til midnight
You and I huddled close til the daylight came
Remember the colors reflected in your eyes,
The scene painted golden
As the sun rises over you and me, darling

One more year, we'd better make the best of this one
You just can't beat the weather here in autumn
Please stay close to me

I just need to know you're gonn call me
I need to know that everything will all be okay
While I'm away
'Cause I don't wanna miss
A single autumn evening here with you like this
I don't wanna miss

All those nights we danced by the moonlight
Conversations about nothing til midnight
You and I huddled close til the daylight came
Remember the colors reflected in your eyes,
The scene painted golden
As the sun rises over you and me, darling
(2x)

Over you and me, darling
Over you and me, darling

Confirmation

We received two replys out of the various people we asked. One of which was a rock band called 'Girls love ponies'.

Girls Love Ponies were a band from the midlands and consided of band members:
♫ Lee Chance - Vocals/Rhythm Guitar
♫ Christopher Darby - Lead Guitar
♫ Richard Eacock - Drums
♫ Kriss White - Bass Guitar/Backing Vocals


The other person in which we got an E-mail from was 'Chase Coy'.
Chase's music is what we were looking for originally. He is an acoustic style singer/songwriter.

Music Search

Trying to find a soundtrack for our music video wasn't easy. We had this idea of producing a singer/songwriter video and sent our requests on Myspace, Facebook and Youtube.

We spent alot of time looking at 'We are the in crowd'. Although they are signed it was only recent and they still use myspace. We had our hopes up thinking we could use their song 'For the win' but the acoustic version.

Unfortunately, none of the band members have been able to reply to our messages and so we can no long use this track.
