Lyrics!

I tried for hours and still no way I could find to upload the mp3... so just click on the link I posted on the post 'Potential Bands' (or something like that) and it's on there :)


Anyway, here are the lovely lyrics...


Sunsets for Singles - Gearloose

She wakes him up, he's in a foggy haze

Walrus has brought the gift of ice-cream

Koala ruined it with an embrace

She looks so mad but she still loves him for trying

Koala's guilty now he looks so sad

He was just trying to thank her

But the bonds of hearts are strong and true

They know they'll laugh about it later

Orange light come torch the sky

Burn this day into night

Now we know its just the start

Of another lonely night for you and I

Of all the things I've tried to tell you

Of all the things that I could say

Nothing seems to comfort you

I know that there's another way

But the distance and the money, girl

Right now it's too much to overcome

But the more we wait, the more my heart aches

To hold you close under a setting sun

And watch it go down

Orange light come torch the sky

Burn this day into night

Now we know its just the start

Of another lonely night for you and I

'Cos everybody knows there's no such thing as sunsets for singles.

With the lyrics Steven sent me a link to this photo:

He said that this is a picture he drew that then inspired the first verse of this song. I think it would be good to incorporate the scenario into the video in some way.

It would be cool to do some animation but I don't think I have the drawing skill, or animation skill for that matter, to do that. Hmm, we'll see what happens when September begins.

My current ideas are...

A couple out in a field at dusk, one brings ice cream, ice cream is smushed with hug, awkward for a moment but then 'they know they'll laugh about it later'. 

Then with 'Orange light come torch the sky...' and the rest of the chorus bit maybe them laughing, running around and sitting in this field or wherever as the sun is setting in the background and it's all lovely. 

Now when it comes to the next verse it speaks of distance and money so my immediate thought was that in the little instrumental part prior to the verse starting the female leaving in a car with a 'SOLD' sign outside her house or something. Both are clearly upset about this but the guy struggles to find ways to talk to her and comfort her because he can't be there. So, he goes back to the field at the start and there's a bit where he's nostalgic and memories of her/ghosts keep appearing and fading. He then takes a picture of himself in the field with the sun setting behind him and sends it to her with a message... possibly 'I love you' or 'There's no such thing as sunsets for singles' or 'Wish you were here'. Something nice anyway.

Anyway, these are my current ideas that I'll develop over summer and maybe start planning what couple to use and stuff. I'd quite like to start filming ASAP in September so if I need to re-shoot/do some more developed editing I can. 

FIN.
