Second song choice (lyrics)

 One Side Of The Story

    Jack Simmons

Verse 1:

Can you hear the whispers? Rumours multiplying,

Everybody’s Talking, Behind your back,

But you only know one thing and thats that you're not alone,

I'm sure Hundreds have been through this

before.

Chorus:

But you only know one side of the story

I know you don't know which direction to take

But you only hear the wrong side of the story

still you judge, you make up your mind.

 

Verse 2:

        This is the worst place to be right now

       Your misery feeds their souls

       You have to just keep you head above ground

     Ignore whatever they say

Chorus

Verse 3:

  Two faced, loose tongues full of lies

 I Hope you are one of a kind

  you really stretch me you can get in my mind

      All I know is karma will get you in time

  Chorus

    Interlude

    
    Chorus (end)

Now you wish you knew both side of the story.

Analysis:

• Written in second person as well as first, unlike the first one, which was more just about him.
• Its quite an easy thing to relate to for the majority, which helps to develop a singer/listener relationship (especially with the question at the beginning, it sounds like he is addressing them) and can establish a fan base.
• Negative syntax throughout, matching genre of soft rock.
• Slightly unconventional lyrics/meaning, because it doesn’t reference love which a lot of soft rock songs do.
• The song itself is at the moment an acoustic song, so the video shouldn’t be made too complicated with a fast pace narrative for example, to match the tone of the song.
• It follows conventions by telling a story which a lot of songs in this genre do.
• I think that it is easier to think of imagery for this song than the first one, so it might be easier to come up with a concept.
