The Love Between You and I (Lyrics)

These are the lyrics to the song we are thinking of using for our video:

The Love Between You And I

Jack Simmons

Maybe, maybe in a lifetime the ones that we will resurrect


my monument immortal but tarnished I suspect


that holds my generations failures put to song


             the jail cell holding all our years undone


                the passing of the time we killed when we were young


              the archives of our blessed few


          and all that they've done wrong or haven't done at all



    (chorus)


   when the longing in all our lives


fades as light resigns


away beneath the skyline
'neath the cities


our emptiness reads like a sign


with all the love between you and I



I'll mind my future as the sunlight tends to life


                though my divinity may the tightrope the sharpest knife


                  'cause I've got none of what lies above


               beyond the stars and sky, beyond the flight of doves



                   
(chorus)



 

 x2


 our emptiness reads like a sign


with all the love between you and I

  
Analysis:

• General theme of the past throughout, but also reference the future.
• I imagine using both colour and black and white shots to distinguish between present and memories.
• Slightly negative syntax, matches soft rock genre. Slow motion could be good to use as an effect.
• References to love (stereotypical of genre), but not necessarily boy/girl relationship e.g. could be referencing family relationships, which makes it easier for the listener to relate to, because there is more than one meaning to it.
• References to past and future. Could do something with memories in the video.
• I think a performance section for this song should be more the focus than narrative.
