Song choice

We came up with three potential songs for our music video which are listed below.

Lady Gaga - Christmas Tree

Katy Perry - Peacock

Flamboyant Bella - Love has got me stoned.

We then ruled out Lady Gaga because although we liked the song for it's upbeat rhythm, we felt the lyrics had quite a sexual meaning. We didn't think this was appropriate to do for a college project. This left us with two to choose from; Katy Perry, which is another upbeat track or flamboyant Bella which is a slower and more meaningful track.

We chose Flamboyant Bella, Love has got me stoned, because we liked the metaphorical meanings and felt that we could build up a story in the video which will make it more interesting and give it depth. I like the way that the song mentions different drugs but totally changes the meaning of them and uses them to describe love. For example, 'no need for ecstasy with you here next to me'. I would have liked to shoot a video with lots of choreography as for me this would have been really interesting but this track is quite slow. It means we can focus on a story and meaning behind the song.

The link to the song is below.

Flamboyant Bella - Love had got me stoned lyrics

No need for ecstasy
With you here next to me
You're all the stimulant I need
No need for heroin
'cause you're my only sin
Without you, baby, I can't breathe

Tried to control my addiction
I need you flowing through my veins
Cold turkey just ain't working
Come and take away my pain
You're messing with my brain

'cause you make me so high
Got me screaming out for more
Never gonna give you up 'cause this feels so right
Love has got me stoned

My pain reliever
You're my every fever
Anytime you're near
Never gonna leave you
Need to be near you
Need to have you here

Tried to control my addiction
I need you flowing through my veins
Cold turkey just ain't working
Come and take away my pain
Messing with my brain

'cause you make me so high
Got me screaming out for more
Never gonna give you up 'cause this feels so right
Love has got me, love has got me, love has got me stoned

Love has got me, love has got me stoned

My herbal remedy
Always there for me
There to catch me when I fall
You're my LSD
Baby, can't you see
You've got me tripping off the walls
Got me tripping off the walls

'cause you make me so high
Got me screaming out for more
Never gonna give you up 'cause this feels so right
Love has got me, love has got me, love has got me stoned

Got me screaming out for me
Never gonna give you up 'cause this feels so right
Love has got me stoned
