PRELIMINARY Lyrics of the song

I printed the lyrics out to Biblical and as a group we looked and annotated the lyrics.

Baby if you could would you go back to the start?
Take any fresh steps or watch it all fall apart again?

Play another song here, then you can leave
With your delicate wings, I used to weave
Maybe there's an undertow here
Or maybe this is stuck up in the air
I know how it looks but all that glitters ain't gold

You gave me magical, I gave you wonderful
Cut that invisible cord or I'll starve you
Of what's understandable
Let's make immeasurable moves to the left
Or the right but not central 'cause
[x2]

You gave me magical
I gave you wonderful
Let's make this biblical
And hang from our invisible cords

Baby if you could would you go back to the start?
Take any fresh steps or watch it all fall apart again?

It could have been a wonderful year
Instead we might not make it to the end
Everybody cares, but nobody knows

You gave me magical, I gave you wonderful
Cut that invisible cord or I'll starve you
Of what's understandable
Let's make immeasurable moves to the left
Or the right but not central 'cause
[x2]

You gave me magical
I gave you wonderful
Let's make this biblical
And hang from our invisible cords
[x2]

Baby how can you walk away? [x8]

The lyrics are really deep and meaningful, such as "you gave me magical, I gave you wonderful", due to these lyrics I think the music video should be a narrative video and it should focus on one character and all his emotions so the audience synthesises towards him. As we have to use the stimuli walking under a ladder gives you bad luck I want the video to show all his bad luck and how its getting him down. Likewise, the tempo is rather slow at the beginning however it does build up at times, this tempo shows the up and downs of the mans life and therefore show these moments in our narrative film. Lastly, I think the genre of Biblical is alternative rock. We can tell that it is about something to do with love and relationships. It feels as though it is related to a broken relationship so due to this it is likely that we will use a couple, a male and a female, for our music video.
