Final Song Choice
09:53:00Our final song choice was 'Smile' by Mikky Ekko. Below are listed the reasons why we chose the song, and how it stood out compared to the others. The main characteristic was the contradicting lyrics within the song, and how they appear negative against the positive beat.
Without the extra audio of the music video the song is 3 minutes and 27 seconds long.
Pros:
Lyrics are
idea-worthy.
Dramatic chorus (very
different from verse)
Cons:
Simplistic.
Level of drama needed
may be hard to obtain.
Lyrics:
Smile, the worst is yet to come
We'll be lucky if we ever see the sun
Got nowhere to go, we could be here for a while
But the future is forgiven, so smile
We're trying so hard to get it all right
But only feel lonely at the end of the night
And I wanna be somewhere away from this place
Yeah, somewhere just a little closer to grace
I'll smile, the worst is yet to come
We'll be lucky if we ever see the sun
Got nowhere to go, we could be here for a while
But the future is forgiven, so smile
Smile
Well, call me loser, call me thief
Tell me I'm special when you spit at me
'Cause I don't wanna be lonely, I wanna be loved
And I want you to hold me like I'm the only one
I'll smile, the worst is yet to come
We'll be lucky if we ever see the sun
Got nowhere to go, we could be here for a while
But the future is forgiven, so smile
Smile
And time will eventually knock on my door
And tell me I'm not needed around anymore
But he'll hold me so close at the end of the day
When I'm quiet I can nearly hear him say
Smile, the worst is yet to come
We'll be lucky if we ever see the sun
Got nowhere to turn, and we've got nothing but time
But the future is forever, the future is forever, so smile, so smile, so smile
Smile, the worst is yet to come
We'll be lucky if we ever see the sun
