Chosen Track
Pros and Cons
The pros of our chosen track are that we are able to visualize and analyze the lyrics by putting them into context. The tempo of this track is more faster which helps us able to create tension at a particular seen. Whereas our second choice of indie genre was quite slow which is why I did not choose the track. Its difficult to build up tension if the whole track has a slow and calm tempo.

4 Kicks - Never. Get. Lost. Except. By. Your. Side Lyrics
Slow Me Down, Change My Ways Tonight or is it all too late.
How could you keep those lying eyes, babe when you couldn’t hide away,
Hide away oh I’m wide awake, wide awake oh I’m trying to say,
Trying to say all the words that are in my mind today
Oh won’t you wait for a minute cos my heart isn’t in it today,
Well I’ve tried and I’ve tried but there’s nothing left for you
To say to me, I’ve been falling at your feet now I’m crawling.
Can’t you see you’ve been holding me back for too long now?
Whoa I’ve tried for you.
Whoa never good enough but nothings for you.
Oh think your better than oh you think you’re better than me
when you cheat and lie on,
no I never did oh you no I never could see
when you cheat and lie on me.
Oh wont you wait for a minute cos my heart isn’t in it today,
Well I’ve tried and I’ve tried but there’s nothing left for you
To say to me, I’ve been falling at your feet now I’m crawling
Can’t you see you’ve been holding me back for too long now
Oh think your better than oh you think you’re better than me
When you cheat and lie on,
No I never did oh you know I never could see
When you cheat and lie on.
Think your better than oh you think you’re better than me
When you cheat and lie on,
No I never did oh you know I never could see
When you cheat and lie on me.
Now my heart beats clear when you cheat and lie on me
