LYRICAL LIVELIHOOD



Our new project is to do a music video. We have to lip sync of course. Im very happy about that because I really can NOT sing. My favorite song... uhh I don't really have one I guess. I guess "Try" by Colbie Caillat is my favorite song. Ashley gave me the idea of "Try" and now it is both her favorite song and mine as well. The lyrics are very meaningful. It tells you to be your self and that you don't have to try so hard for other people to like you. I guess I like it because the lesson in it is very important. It tells us to not care about what others think of us. I probably have other favorite songs as well but I just can't remember them. But I think "Try" is my favorite song because of the amazing meaning behind it.

My teammates are Sophia, Ashley, and Eden. We have chosen the song "Never Gonna Give You Up" by Rick Astley. I know its going to be really weird to lip sync that song with a group of four girls. I think we can pull it off though. We were going to do "Style" by Taylor Swift but then we decided to do "Cool Kids". That's when we found out that another team it doing that song. Finally that's when we decided to do an old song. So we chose "Never Gonna Give You Up". We thought that doing this song will be fun and it will show how uncool we are. I honestly think it will be so much fun. Even if we have to embarrass our selves in front of the whole class, I dont care. I mean everyone in this class has to do it too and every ones pretty silly in this class. Besides, in this class, everyone has to be themselves in order to get an A. I mean its hard to not be your silly self when doing the projects we get in this class. I think it will be a lot of fun to do this music video.


In the actual music video, there isn't really a story to it so we have to make it up our selves. Its obviously a love song so I guess we would need a boy and a girl. The problem is that all four of us are girls. All four of us know the chorus so we will defiantly include that part. When we do the chorus, all four of us will lip sync at the same time and I guess just dance. I know it sounds weird and it will most defiantly look weird but we are weird. In our music video, we never want to give up stuffed animals because they hold special memories. We chose to do this because it relates to our audience. I mean everyone has at least one toy that they were connected to as a child that they never wanna give up. When it comes to the beginning of the song, we will get Ashley and I to be the main guy with our stuffed animals. Also, in one scene, the four of us look at a bag, or box that says 'donate' on it and we have to donate the toys but we don't want to give them up. Its sounds weird, I know but I think it will be fun. Although in the end we eventually donate the toys. I can already tell there will be many mistakes, smiles, laughs, and fun.
