Lyric Analysis - Miss Georgiou

Our song we chose is Paloma Faith 'Only Love Can Hurt Like This' and throughout the song there is a few hidden meanings, the song is outlining how hurt and damaged she is from her relationship with a man. When she says 'Must have been a deadly kiss' you could interpret her describing how he's kiss causes her an unbearable pain that symbolises death, this shows how deep and strong her love for him is. 'Your kisses burning through my skin' this is similar to the previous line, it shows how he's kisses cause her a physical pain which represents how he has such a huge impact on her psychological health. From annotating the lyrics of this song, we have found out that there is alot of emotion and pain felt by the artist, therefore throughout our music video we will use different shots and editing effects to help convey this to the audience. There are many things we picked up on which we can incorporate into our music video and within this post I will be explaining what and how.

We have annotated the lyrics by highlighting and making notes off of the parts in which we can incorporate narrative ideas into, as well as the parts in which we believe we can use specific cinematography and mise-en-scene for to portray the lyrics. 
  • 'I tell myself, you don't mean a thing' - When our artist is singing this line, we are going to have her singing into the mirror using a over the shoulder shot to represent her telling herself how she feels.
  • 'But when you're not there' - We will have our artist laying in bed imagining her ex laying next to her, when she sings this line the male character will fade from the scene.
  • 'I just crumble' - We could have our character/artist fall apart in the scene to convey how they are crumbling from the pain they are experiencing. 
  • 'Till I feel your touch' we could have our male and female character touch each other and make it positioned into the middle of the camera shot.
  • 'Must have been a deadly kiss' - We would have our male and female character kiss to show how the kiss they share.

  1. You have made a start in considering the hidden meanings of your chosen song and it is clear to see that you have considered a narrative for your production. However, the narrative needs to be explored in a lot more detail, by explaining what will be seen, the style of the production, explanation of how you will follow the soul conventions and how your production will appeal to your target audience.
