Moodboard-James Donovan and David Hutchings
A major influence for our music video is the singer of the song itself, David Bowie.
Lazarus: This one is the type of feel that we wish to emulate with our music video as it has a surreal, almost dream-like quality to it but it still keeps a realistic nature.
Ashes to Ashes: This is a very well-made music video that fits the psychodelic nature that we wish to have in out music the video as the colours give a very unique and hypnotic feel to the video.
Another influence for us was Kanye West. While his music genre differs from the style we wish to pursue his music videos are a massive inspiration when it comes to visuals.
Black Skinhead has the artistic/psychedelic theme we want to use for our music video, the combination of colour contrasts, the use of dark colour pallets and the editing are visually eye catching.

The Man Who Sold The World Lyrics-David Hutchings
We passed upon the stair
We spoke of was and when
Although I wasn't there
He said I was his friend
Which came as some surprise (The two men seemingly know each other and speak of the past despite the man not being there at the time)
I spoke into his eyes
I thought you died alone
A long long time ago (The singer thought that this man was dead. He didn't recognise him at the beginning. Gives off the idea of two friends reuniting)
Oh no, not me
I never lost control
You're face to face
With the man who sold the world (The man had done something terrible that it is equated to selling the world)
I laughed and shook his hand
And made my way back home
I searched for form and land
For years and years I roamed (There is nowhere to go. The man doesn't have a home to go to)
I gazed a gazeless stare
At all the millions here
We must have died alone
A long, long time ago
Who knows? Not me
We never lost control
You're face to face
With the man who sold the world
Who knows? Not me
We never lost control
You're face to face
With the man who sold the world (These lyrics reveal that the two who met on the stairs are the same person or a doppelgänger)
These lyrics will influence the style of our music video as we aim to make it quite surreal and psychedelic.

Hurt Lyrics-James Donovan
I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel (the writer feels depressed and feels empty inside, only feels physical pain anymore)
I focus on the pain
The only thing that's real
The needle tears a hole
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
But I remember everything (they washed away their senses with drugs/alcohol and now feel empty, however pain still lingers)
What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know
Goes away in the end (fear of losing or pushing loved ones away)
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt (the negativity and depression hurts those closest to you)
I wear this crown of shit
Upon my liars chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
Beneath the stains of time
The feelings disappear
You are someone else
I am still right here
What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know
Goes away in the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
If I could start again
A million miles away
I will keep myself
I would find a way
(if they could do it all over again. Away from all the people they know and love they wouldn’t lose who they were, they would find a way to show their loved ones that they really do care.)
