Lyrics Analysis/Lyrics Timecode

As a group, me and Max analysed the lyrics to come up with a understanding of the song as well as a concept for the music video idea.
We listened to the song on YouTube a couple of times to be able to get a better understanding of the lyrics and what the song means/ represents. We firstly looked at the chorus and decided they think its best to live your life and not be upset/ depressed about anything. We decided that the first verse the lead is happy about life and wants to get to know new girls and talk to them. The second verse he is then heartbroken by girls but feels he has learnt alot and that was his aim in the first verse. 

We noticed the chorus 'Happiness is to be young and free' is repeated 4 times over when it is sang. This makes the song personal and it emphises the lyrics and the audience is able to easily relate to it. We thought of adding a hyperreality aspect into the song when it says 'mirror mirror' and also when he is depressed he starts to see every girl that looks like the one he loved. We have mainly made the narrative section of the song around the story within the lyrics and also incorporated some performance in with the narrative. 

We concluded that the artist of the song may be expressing his relationship through the performance of the song as he wrote the song about her in the narrative, it also shows how it reflects him as a person as he is expressive and heartbroken.
