Planning and Research: The Courteeners, That Kiss

To help us get into the frame mind of analysing lyrics for our Music Video, we were given a task to analyse the lyrics of That Kiss by The Courteeners. We were presented with the lyrics but not the song. 

That Kiss Lyrics:


The way that you looked at him, and then you looked at me.
You must think that I'm proper blind,
Proper blind not to see.

That I was just a stop gap sitting somewhere in-between his hand and his lap
Let me tell you that I wasn't born yesterday, my dear.

That kiss that lasted too long,
We probably shouldn't have danced to that song
It was nothing, it was everything,
It's really such a shame it's so hard to explain to you

He's back in town tonight,
He's expecting you round a quarter to nine
But you wont be there,
Cuz he prefers the proverbial of you.
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/t/the_courteeners/that_kiss.html ]
If he only knew what you thought, the lust,
The lack of trust, the temptation you thought
He's worthless as maxims and flouts
He's just a passing fashion and he's on his way out

That kiss that lasted too long,
We probably shouldn't have danced to that song
It was nothing, it was everything,
It's really such a shame it's so hard to explain to you.

I know that I shouldn't but I enjoyed it
I know that I shouldn't but I enjoyed it
I know that I shouldn't but I enjoyed it

I know that I shouldn't but I enjoyed it
I know that I shouldn't but I enjoyed it
I know that I shouldn't but I enjoyed it

That kiss that lasted too long,
We probably shouldn't have danced to that song
It was nothing, it was absolutely everything,
It's really such a shame it's so hard to explain to you.


After reading the lyrics as a group we had to make a rough storyboard of what we thought the music video represented. Below are some images of our brainstorming ideas. 

After going round the classroom giving out our detailed ideas we listened to the song. To our surprise most of our ideas about the song were wrong, however we were right about the Manchester area, as well as a love interest gone wrong.
