Final Digi Pack

Question 4

Think about the order of the information here on the prezi- do you define the technology, then how you used it? A bit confusing! Also, you repeat yourself quite a bit, especially talking about Youtube.

Question 3

Question 2

Question 1

Dan, some work to do on this. Firstly, establish the codes and conventions- what are they. Then be specific with examples- the location and mise en scene comments are not really saying a lot. Each frame should highlight a code/convention and then say how it conforms/challenges, linked to a RMA. Also, have you also looked at the ancillary tasks?

I like the images and the inside disc pane and the front cover are successful. I would look at the size of the barcode on the back! Could you use anything else on that back pane?

2nd Draft Digi Pack

Dolby

I like the idea of the black and white alternate borders but in reality I am not sure it works that well; it makes it a bit confusing to look at. The images are clear but are they just stills form the single release? Could you take some more and make sure you use a range of shot types and distances to boost your grade.

reflection

Yesterday I did some more filming with my two actors brad and ellie filming is coming along really well there is probably about 10% of my music video left to do which is just scenes of brad on his own along with ellie and brad looking like there in love. The sort of angles I  will be looking at taking are one which are low and very close up which the emotions within the actors being sad and also happy when there with each other. The type of scenery I will be looking for is a bright day, it would also be helpful if I pick a day that's windy which would add more effect. The next days I will be filming is next Mondays and Tuesday.

Dolby

Some nice work here Dan. Keep it up. You may want to think about the message that is being communicated through the actors and the emotions.

1st Draft music Video

Day 2 reflection:

The second day of filming didn't go as well as it was planned I was meant to get the first couple of verses within my music video filmed so that I wouldn't have much more to film as my deadline is soon, but because I'm staring in another member within my media classes music video filming ran over and there wasn't enough time for me to film the first verse of my music video. I will have to put more time into filming on Tuesday 23rd of October with my actors to cover the time I lost on Thursday last week which I didn't get any filming done. So tomorrow I will film in the same location which is horseshoe Lake I will be using the little beach to do most of my filming.The types of angles I will using within the filming tomorrow will be low angles and close up to capture facial emotion and get the lip syncing perfect and more clear. The lighting wont matter as it will be in sepia throughout the whole music video. I will film the first couple of courses tomorrow so that I can get the first part of my music video done so then I can build the music video up in stages.

Day 1 filiming:

The first day of fliming with my actors Ellie Dyer and Bradley Styles went very well I got the first two verses of the song filmed which is a good start for my music video. I have filmed my main actor who will be mining the song Bradley styles for the first shot he is sitting on the edge of the walk way whih looks over this lake which will repersent the sea within my music video. The shoot I took of bradley was from a zoomed out and then gradually zoom in toi hi face. the emotion he is giving off is that he is upset and wants someone to be with him. I have taken many shots of the same verse which will allow me to choose what shot was the best out of all the shots I have taken.

Mrs D

Great editing - it links really well with the narrative. There is a CU of the singer when he it is just instrumental – does this work? What are you trying to represent when the frame waves like the sea? Just be clear with the message you are giving. You may need some more interspersed clips (CUs etc) of the star singing to promote the singer more. A great effort. Well done.

Moving image:

Digi pack:

For the making of my digi pack I will have to use a variety of different techniques so the digi pack relates to the artist/ band I'm advertising. The digi pack will follow the same colours as the as the web page so there is a strong link between the two, I will also use colours which suit the genre of my artist so they aren't misleading the viewer. I will use colours such as dull bland colours or even simple colour schemes as black and White. The digi pack will have to include the main features on the front such as the artist name and the album name to promote theme a picture for visuals, Then on the back of the digi pack it should display the songs within the CD along with extras there should also be a picture to enhance the digi pack. on the CD itself there should just be the name of the artist along with the album name to keep it simple. Then finally inside the digi pack booklet there should be tour dates pictures of the artist or band along with maybe song lyrics, to give the buyer a option to what they want to look at.

By including all these features it will allow my digi pack to be at a high standard and follow codes and conventions within my digi pack such as the genre layout and colour schemes this will allow the audience to understand the artist and why these technique's have been used within the digi pack.

Loctian Planning. on Prezi

Web homepage

For the design of my web homepage I will have to use a variety of different techniques to attract and excite the audience to make them want to read more about my web page. I need to make the homepage appealing and exciting so that the audience find it appealing, the ways of doing this are by using a creative sort of colours to appeal to the audience such as for my genre colours like black and white and also dull vibrant colours to attract and interest the audience. Another way of making my homepage appealing is by putting a picture of the artist or band to get a image of what they look like also to catch attention and stand out to the audience.

I should also put features in the homepage such as links so the audience can go to the part of the website they want to go to, this should be found at the top of the homepage and be clearly seen and easy to read. I should also include promotion techniques such as the artist album which is there nearest most previous album to promote and advertise there album and make sure the audience by the album. There should also have on the homepage the artist name or bands name to be none and be seen clearly so the audience know who's website there on and so they recognise them. On the links on my homepage I should have links to blogs about the artist or band, Tour dates when they are touring and where, pictures of the band and artist to show there daily life or them at tours and finally music video link to show them in music videos.

Letter of consent for particpants:

Dan,
You have reserached into the different areas but your summing up of findings(How the reserach has informed your planning) is a bit general. Your Real Media Srtefacts are all quite varied genres and therfore it makes it hard to catre  to your audience/ It doesn't really reflect what you have learnt to help with your video in particular; consider what it tells you about audience, layout, genre, marketing etc so you are making something that SPECIFICALLY targets YOUR intended audience.

Final analysis of research:

Final analysis of research:

What I have learnt from my research is that for the website which I will be creating I will take options and ideas from the website I have researched and put some of their ideas into my website to develop and improve my website to its full potential. I think I could look at the different layouts colour schemes and the use of pictures and descriptive text within my web page to make it stand out and be more appealing. The links should also cover the correct information to attract the audience. The digi packs if i come around to making one I will use the ideas in which i have researched about in the RMA'S and put there ideas into my digi pack.

I have also learnt from the music promos I have analysed that there are many techniques in which I can incorporate into my music promo such as the visual to match the lyrics, along with good and efficient cuts. I think by doing all these things I can make my muisc promo and the web page to a effiect high standard which the audenice will appeal to and want to watch my music promo.

Music Promo Anyalisis - Just Jack Glory Days

Music promo analysis - Just Jack Glory Days


This music promo is by Just Jack and he is promoting his most sold song Glory Days, the whole video is very clever, as the whole promo video relates to the visual matching the lyrics within the song. The Video is very basic, but still uses some techniques to make it interesting such as visual which are animated on the computer to make the promo come more to life. The clothes the artist wears are very original though out the music video he changes a lot to match his T-Shirt visuals to his lyrics, the genre that this artist falls into I would say is pop/ hip hop, as he is very trendy but also his songs makes he look as though he raps more then sings.

There is a strong contrast of the lyrics which the match the visuals, the way he has done this by using animations on T-Shirt Which have pictures which the link to the lyrics within his song. There are many examples in this video but a main one is at the start of the music promo he is walking through the park whistling, and on his T-shirt he has a whistle to represent the actions he is doing in the video.  Another example with the visual matching the lyrics is when he says within the lyrics "And there is music in every sight and every sound, No need for headphones, I'll tip my cap to the world, Even though I don't wear one" then while he sings the lyrics he T-shirts change and show the different animations, such as a tape cassette for "music", eyes for "sight" finally a pair of headphones. Then on the courses of the music video it says "Its just another one of those glory days Jump out your bed Shake your head Clear the haze" for this the visual of them dancing does the actions within the lyrics. The locations within the music video is in a variety of places I think as there is no links they have done it a variety of places to make the music video more appealing.

Within Just Jack music promo there are loads of cuts as he has to change his t-shirt every time so there is going to many different cuts. The camera angle within the music promo is back when he isn't singing the course its a close up, and when the courses starts he goes to a long shot of him and the backing dancers danceing to the course acting it out.

Finally I think the music video is very complex and is very unique with the way he matches the visuals with the lyrics works really good as its different and isn't boring at tall. I think it hard to tell the genre of the artist due to this type of video, but overall it promotes and makes the artist more recognised.

RMA 3 - Russel Walder/ Rise

This is the front cover to "Russel Walder" album "rise" the dgi pack contain four major parts the first the front cover, as you can see the genre of music is hard to tell from the picture but its "jazz." The front cover is very simple and basic layout like most digi packs, such as at the top of the front cover there is the albm name and the artists name so you can clearly see it and easy to loacte where it is, Just underneath that is a picture whihc fills particly the whole screen so theres someting appealing and exciting about the album cover. The spine of the album cover it has the artist name and the album name again to easily notice it. The colour use for the font is white red and black so it makes certain parts of the font stand out agasint the colur in the background. The main picture has dull colours maybe suggestion the music might be quite sad and depressing also form the look of the picture.

This is inside the digi pack album as you can see the CD is very basic with the abulm name and artist name to promot them along with a symbol at the bottom of the CD to make it more appealing for the audeince. The colour scheme is white and red to get a strong contrast of colours bewteen the background and the font. The inisde digi pack is very basic with detil information abourt the artist and the song list with same colour scheme of the red and white for a good string contrast. The layout is simple with text at the bottom of the digi pack booklet.

Then finally this is the ablum digi pack back cover which allows you to find out a song on a track number whihc makes it easy to locate, the back cover of this digi pack is very simple and boring with nothing really going on to make it intersing for the aundeice. It stuck with the colour scheme of red and black to keep it simple and fit the theme. The layout of the back cover is simple aswell with the track list down the middle of the back cover.

Questionnaire Final Results:

Questionnaire final results:

The result I have found from this questionnaire I will import into my whole project.

1.       What appeals you to any Indie CD?

What I have found out from my questionnaire results from my audience is that people voted “the bands picture” to be the most appealing thing about the digi pack so I will most probably include this when I’m designing my product. The second most popular answer I reserved was “the band’s name” so I will also include this in the design of my work so that it appeals to the audience. By doing all these objectives within designing my digi pack it will help promote and appeal my digi pack.

2.       What colours do you expect on an Indie CD dige pack?

The answer I got back from this question was a variety such as the top answer was grey and red to be used as the main colours on a digi pack which would appeal to target audience. The least popular answer was white with the least voted colour to be seen on a digi pack. These colours would be the main colours in which I will look into when making a digi pack as they appeal to my genre of target market.

3.       What do you expect to find inside a dige pack?

The most popular answer for this question was “song lyrics” the least popular answer was “a booklet about the band.” I think these answers are vital for making a digi pack as they make the digi pack more interesting and existing for the buyer.

4.       What do you expect in the digi pack booklet?

I got many different answers for this question the top and most popular answer was              “song lyrics” within a digi pack booklet, the next top answers was all equal with one vote each so when I come to deigning a digi pack I will include all these answers within my digi pack booklet.

5.       Do the songs on the back of the CD pack interest you?

The top answer for this question was “yes”, so when it comes to making a digi pack I will spend the same amount of time on the back of CD cover as I would on the front cover of the digi pack.

6.       Does a picture of the band on the CD packing make it more appealing?

Again the top answer for this particular question was yes again so I will try and import a picture of the band on the front back and inside the digi pack to make it more exciting and appealing for the audience when looking at the CD.

7.       Is there anything else you would add to the digi pack if you could?

These are a few suggestions on what my audience want to include to improve digi packs:

1. Extra CD with mixtpes

2.inculde prizes to win see the band live

3. More information about the band

4. More photos of the band

5. Meaning behind the songs

This is what my audience have requested today’s digi pack to improve on  to make them more detailed exciting and more advanced for the audience so there’s more to look at on the CD cover.

The Kooks - Seaside Review

Review: The Kooks, Seaside interview

It sounds to me like the guy is in love with a girl and he is wondering how she feels about him. He hasn't SEEN her in a long time and I think it sounds like he is missing her and he is feeling confused.

Maybe the "seaside" is where they fell in love. He is still in love with her. He wants to go back and experience that again and/or start over with her on the "seaside". He asks her if she wants to go. Maybe they are tired of the "slight of hand" situation. But, maybe that was their only option for expressing their feelings for each other for awhile. That's why he sings that he is just trying to love her, anyway that he can. Maybe it is difficult for them both when they are far apart. Because obviously at one point they were very close.

I hear fragility and weariness in his voice.They were in love before and he is missing her. No matter the outcome, it sounds to me like they really just need to SEE each other, to feel better.

RMA 2 - Florance & The Machine

This is Florence and the Machine front cover of her album "cermonials" digi pack as you can see stright away at the top of the CD digi pack the artits name so you can see clearly whos album it is straight away. The font used for the artist name isnt very eye ctaching as it isnt big and bold so it doesnt excatly stand out to the audeince. In the middle of the CD front cover there is the artits her self so she can promote herself and be the main attention on the front cover. Then just underneath the picture of the artist there is the albums name in some sort of effect which fades the letters out to make it look more intersting and shows good use of effects. The Colours used within the fornt cover are very dark and pale coulours which shows the type of artist Florence and the machine is whihc is indie/ pop. The colour scheme within the front covers album is black and a pale brown which if differenta nd very unquie.

The inside CD for Florenace and the machine is very basci and simple, at the top of the CD inside a rectangular box it has the albums names so you loacte it easily, then underneath the album name at the bottom of the CD there is the artist name. The font style used on the CD is the same as the font on the front cover of the CD digi pack is the same so it links throughtout the digi pack and creats a theme. The clours used are different to the front cover but still very pal colours such as the pale pink background, and then font colour in white so there is a strong contrast and it stands out well.

This is the back cover of Florenace and the machine digi pack as you can see its very simple and basic deign. the background picture used is albums name in big font whihc fills the whole of the back cover. Then in the middle back cover there is the track list for the ablums digi pack, then finally on the spine of the album digi pack there is the albums name and the artists name. The colour scheme of the back cover is a light brown with font colour balck which makes it stand out and seen clearly when looking for track songs.

Mrs D

There is some good analysis here Dan. You have started to look at the use of images, colour and the links on the website. Try and link to genre and Representation too. If you do not hit your deadline today - you need to move onto planning. If there is time later, you can go back. I would recommend you do a bit of audience research asap.

Mumford & Sons - Web Page

This is the homepage of the indie band Mumford & sons straight away you can tell the homepage is linked to a indie band by the colours which are used which there is a variety the picture of the band and the style of the homepage. At the very top of the homepage you can see the bands name which is in some vintage font to looks different and show maybe there a unique band, it catches the eye straight away with the contrast of the blue on the white background to stand out. The just below that they have links to what pages of the website you would like to visit and find information out about, they are all clearly linked for the audiences benefit. Below that they have a picture of the band to show what they look like and to remember the band in future. Next to the picture is has some sort of link which allows you to watch a live lounge of the band playing their music which will help promote the band. Just under neath the live lounge link there is tour dates when the band is touring round the country which also helps promote the band because it will get the word out that they might be playing in someones home town.The theme of the homepage looks quiet vintage and old fashion which could link to there indie style theme. The colours used on the web page are colours that are dulled down like the blue background the colour scheme I would say it white and blue.

This is the mumford & sons web site this is one of the pages within the website this is the bands page, it gives detail about the band and their tours, also has a picture gallery and shows the band at different concerts. At the top of the web page there is the bands name whihc is in the same locating on every page, the links are in the same place on every page aswell so its easy to loacte. Underneath the links there is a picture of the band at one of their live concerts, this picture shiws a full arnea fulled of people whihc shows the audeince that the band is popluar. Underneath the picture there is a full description about the band and descirption about theri live tour. The theme on the pages their the same through out so it matchs the whole web page so it all links in within each other.

Maverick Sabre - Web Page

This is the website homepage for maverick Sabre its a very modern and up to date style of a homepage which is different to the other website homepage i analysed "the kooks", his homepage is very exciting and grabs the right attention where needed for a website. At the top of the website homepage there is links when clicked on will take you to different parts of the web page, they are layed out very well so there isn't any confusion when finding a certain link. On the middle left of the page there is the artist name is big font which looks to be sans serif style which is very modern and shows he is a new artist, he has also put decorating around the outside of it to clearly show its his homepage and also draw the audience eye to it. On the right you have a close up shot of the artist so you can recognise him and remember the artist. He then has other bits of detail around the bottom of the homepage which tell us information about the artist such as his tour dates, and has information about his blog. The homepage is simple and easy to navigate links and find out about the artist, the use of colour scheme is black and white which is very popular for most artist and  just keeps the homepage simple and slick to interest the audience. The layout of where everything is located on the page makes it easy and sufficient for the audeince to use. From the style of his homepage you can tell he is some sort of soul artist form the type of font and the look of the artist.

This part of the web is from one of the links which you can click on to find the artists music and videos, from what you can see on the page is so simple and easy to use it has the same layout as his homepage with the links still at the top to locate them easily, along with picture of the artist in the same place. It also still has the artist name in a decorative design round the outside at the top so you remember his name and his music. As you can see the music and video link page has videos of the artist ones that he is in and ones that he has featured in so you can keep up to date with his music. The link to play the music videos is used by the company you tube to stream and play his videos vial online to keep his audience up to date. Then on the far right you can see he has his album that he is promoting to his fans so it can be found easily, then next to it you have small links which take you to where you can buy the album to encourage the audience to buy his album. The theme through this page is the same as the homepage by keeping the same theme along with colour schemes makes the homepage look more exciting.

Digipack RMA 1 - The Kooks inside out.

This is one of four parts of the kooks digipack to there album "inside out" as you can see the colours within the back of the CD is very blamed and simple with a black and white theme through out the CD digipack, the spine is red to make it stand out and make it more eye catching to the audience. The picture on the back of the CD pack fills the whole back of the digipack to make it more appealing and stand out to the audience so you see the band, the black and white theme works well as there a indie band and they like to look vintage with there clothes and the theme thourght out. The layout of the writing is sperate with the track list at the top left of the CD back in open space so its easy to read out the way of any picture that might be behind so it doesn't take your eye off in different directions, the font of the track list is also in bold to stand out and bee seen so is to navigate. Then at the top right in space away from the main picture there is some more detail which is easy to read as there is a strong contrast with the white back against the black writing. Also the writing on the spine with the bands name and the album name is colours which contrast and stand out well against the read to be seen.

The bands CD follows the same colour scheme and theme through the CD so it links in together by using the same colours red black and white. The bands name is stood out a lot by using the black and red as two colours which make a strong contrast to make the bands name stand out. The font used for the bands name is in bold which makes it very masculine. They have also used the design and shape of the CD to their advantage by using the CD hole in the middle as "O" to link in with the bands name "the kooks". From the colours used within the CD you can tell its a stereotypical indie/ rock genre by the use of fonts and colour schemes throughout the whole digipack.

The front of the bands CD digipack just keeps following the same rules throughout the whole digipack. At the front of the digipack you can see the band together, and straight away tell their a indie band by their clothes the use of props like guitars and even hairstyles all these little things make you know instantly their a indie/ rock band. The colours scheme o the photo is still the same black and white to keep it simple and vintage. At the top out of the way of the picture you can see the bands name and album name so it directly in the middle to make it eye catching. The way they have placed the words is unique by using the album name to link with the bands name just underneath. They have also used the bands name in black to show where it is and the album name is red to not cause confusion and make it easy to understand. Again the colours used in the font are very strong contrast with the white back ground which also makes it stand out more appalling for the audience. The font cover is very simple the way its layed out so it does causes confusion it easy and simple to understand which is good about the design.

Finally the bands inside cover booklet is still keeping to the same theme of colours to have a strong link within the whole digipack. The pictures on the inside booklet is picture of them playing guitars and singing which shows a inside look to what they are like as a band also just makes it more appealing. The colours on the picture seems to fade to grey to red which is different and a good technique to use to make the album cover more interesting. There seems to be a bit of writing on the side which is talking about copy right apart from that there isn't any other writing about the band so a very simple inside booklet, which they could have developed on by putting tour dates or even some informtaion about the bands itself.

Website - The Kooks

The Kooks web page:

This is the official homepage for the the kooks the band as you can see the theme of the homepage looks quiet indie straight away so it all links in within the band, so that it doesn't confuse the audience. At the top of the homepage it has the bands name in big black letters so it stands out and makes sure you know its there website. The type of font for the band name is sans serif the reason they might of used this type of font is to show simplictity that the band isn't trying to show off just keeping it simple and easy for the audience to read. At the top you have a variety of different links in which you can click on to find out different things about the band, such as news - finding out when there tour dates are and how to book them, gallery - showing pictures of them at gigs and showing maybe there ever day lifestyle to get a inside feel of what the bands really like. Another important link in which I think every artist/band needs on there website is a "store" link so the public can buy there music and helps promoting the bands songs. Just underneath the links they allows have social networking sites such as twitter, facebook, myspace and you tube so that you can stay in touch with band which is constantly promoting them and making them bigger. Within the middle of the homepage you have a photo which is eye catching and makes you look straight away which is the band all together in a photo which is quiet plan in black and white to show there a old fasihion indie band to match the theme of the homepage. Also underneath that they have a you tube video of one of there latest songs which is put on the homepage to make you want to watch it which forces the audience to play the video.  Next to this video they have there latest album and a picture off what it looks like. With big words saying buy now which will stand out and hopefully make the user want to purchase the album. The style of the whole homepage in general has the same theme thought such as the font type within the homepage and small detailed righting is all the same so it all links and not so off putting, the main colour scheme of the homepage seems to be black and white to link in with there indie look.

The Kooks website (news link):
When you click on the links to different pages there is still a set theme throught such as colour schemes and font types all stay the same, this new page is to keep the audience upadated on the band and shows them what there doing at that moment of time, by putting the dates and times they worte on there web page. This is good promoting because fans will want to know what the band is doing on a reaular bases so this is a good way of keeping the fans intersted. The way they layout the news page is with a subtitle with teh data and month and the time it was writing then undernearth that it tells you in deatil what there doing weather there just about to do a gig, or having dinner in resturant. This way its always keeping the audince coming back to the hompage and when they see new songs and albums they will advertised and hopfully buying them with the promos next to the news.

The Kooks - Sea side

The song "Seaside" by the "The Kooks" I have chosen to do will have a old style indie theme, when videoing using techniques such as sepia to make the video look vintage and a old style towards the audience. If I decide to use any prop's within the music video I will try and use old products to relate to the genre of the music video so there is a link throughout the music video. The genre I will be using for this music video would be indie, so the people  I will be using within the music video will have to look indie and also dress indie to have a strong link with the whole video. The lyrics within the song are talking about  going to the seaside, so to relate and link the lyrics to the visual so the location of my music video will be located at a place in Crowthorne called horseshoe lake which has a small beach, which will be use full for filming at, and getting critical scenes which will link to the lyrics.

Email to record label

Hello i'm Daniel Mather,
From Edgbarrow sixth form and i'm doing a media project in where I have to make a music video which will include a background song I have chosen to use one of your artist within your record label, the band is "The Kooks" and the song is on the album "Inside in/ Inside" out its called "Seaside." I would like to ask permission to use this song as I will be designing a music video for it as part of my media coursework and I will need to upload the song on to my blogger to show which song I have chosen, I am asking your permission to use the song and create a music video for it as I don't want there to be any copy right issues involved, would you be able to get back to me on this email address,
Thank you for your time.

Miss D

Dan,
You have attempted to anlyse this but thinking about why the artists within the video do what they do but now you need to be technical.
Go through the video Chronologically and look at the following:
The use of close-ups and other interesting camera shots
The editing and pace (timing)
How the mise-en-scene and other visual elements link to the genre of music
The chorus and how the key points of the song are communicated.

Improve and repost.

Rizzle Kicks – Down with the trumpets

Rizzle Kicks – Down with the trumpets

The song that I will be analysing down with the trumpets by rizzle kicks the music promo is promoted in Brighton on the seaside, but also filmed in various different places to make the video more interesting and better to watch. At the start of the video they have no sounds within the background and the way the sound gets introduced is when he puts a tape cassette into a old stereo and press play maybe to show they have control of the music. The reason they have probably used a old tape cassette in a old fashion stereo is to promote their brand of them being a old school classic brand so they stand out to all the other bands so they have a niche market.

The stereo also has a screen on it and when either Jordan or Harley sings on the screen it shows that to distinguish them both from each other. They also do action to relate to the song lyrics to show representation throughout the song to make it interesting. When the course comes in and they sing “down with the trumpets” they have people dancing in-between two cabins to show maybe they are on the spotlight. The song name also has the instrument within it when they buy a trumpet of some guy to show representation to the song lyrics. Then towards the end of the video when the sing the course again down with the trumpets they d the movement of them actually do he action of them falling down to relate to the lyrics.

Miss D

Dan, I have just had a look at the lyrics and some of them are a bit 'controversial'. I would like to know what your ideas are for the narrative as I am not sure how you are going to act out and maybe safer to do performance of certain parts!

 

The Kooks - Seaside Lyircs

Do you want to go to the seaside? I'm not trying to say that everybody wants to go I fell in love at the seaside I handled my charm with time and slight of hand
Do you want to go to the seaside? I'm not trying to say that everybody wants to go I fell in love at the seaside She handled her charm with time and slight of hand and, oh
But I'm just trying to love you In any kind of way But I find it hard to love you girl When you're far away Away
Do you want to go to the seaside? I'm not trying to say that everybody wants to go But I fell in love on the seaside On the seaside In the seaside.
