Thoughts on choice of song

I realised that since our decision on a track for our music video i have not expressed my thoughts on the song. The song we are using is called Asthenia and is by Blink 182.

This is what wikipedia says about the song: 'The intro features NASA transmissions. According to Tom DeLonge, "This song is about one thing only, an astronaut sitting in a space capsule about the size of a car, floating above the earth. He's contemplating if coming back or not will make a difference on such a negative place. A song about the loss of hope. A term was coined for the breakdown of life in space and it is called Asthenia, the name of the track."'

Our interpretation of the song however focuses more on lonliness and isolation and we plan to focus on specific lyrics such as 'Is somebody out there will somebody listen', 'I miss you so much' and 'Should I go back should I go back should I' and on these lyrics we will emphasise them with close ups of our singer singing.

I am excited to be getting on with making the music video for asthenia as i have been a fan of the band and song for a while and have previously wondered why there is no video for such a good song that is full of meaning and interpretation. I think we will make the most of the song in our video by encompassing the dark and lonely mood of the song in both our performance and narrative.
