- Research into 'alternative rock' music videos -
The first alternative rock music video that I analysed was a blink 182 song called up all night. I chose this song because it is one that I like and I was also familiar with the music video before hand, I felt like choosing songs that I already knew would make this task easier for me and I would be able to complete it to a higher standard.
Blink-182 are a very successful American punk-rock band and are the winners of dozens of music entertainment awards including a blockbuster entertainment award, 3 Kerang awards, 2 MTV Europe music awards, 4 MTV video music awards, 10 San Diego music awards, 4 teen choice awards and a Nickelodeon Kid's choice award.
The music video that I chose to analyse by Blink-182 is a song called 'up all night' which was released on the 14th of July 2011, this song was the lead single from the group's sixth studio album called Neighbourhoods. This song was their first since the reformation of 2009.
Blink 182 - up all night lyrics
[Verse 1:]Everyone wants to call it, all around our life with a
better name.
Everyone falls and spins and it's up again with a friend who does the same.
Everyone lies and cheats their wants and needs and still believes their heart.
And everyone gets the chills, the kind that kills, when the pain begins to start.
[Chorus:]
Did I get this straight?
Do you want me here
As I struggle through each and every year.
And all these demons, they keep me up all night.
They keep me up all night [x2]
[Verse 2:]
Everyone's cross to bears the crown they wear on endless holiday.
Everyone raises kids in a world that changes life to a bitter game.
Everyone works and fights, stays up all night to celebrate the day.
And everyone lives to tell the tale of how we die alone some day.
[Chorus:]
Did I get this straight?
Do you want me here
As I struggle through each and every year.
And all these demons, they keep me up all night.
They keep me up all night [x3]
They keep me up all...
Everyone falls and spins and it's up again with a friend who does the same.
Everyone lies and cheats their wants and needs and still believes their heart.
And everyone gets the chills, the kind that kills, when the pain begins to start.
[Chorus:]
Did I get this straight?
Do you want me here
As I struggle through each and every year.
And all these demons, they keep me up all night.
They keep me up all night [x2]
[Verse 2:]
Everyone's cross to bears the crown they wear on endless holiday.
Everyone raises kids in a world that changes life to a bitter game.
Everyone works and fights, stays up all night to celebrate the day.
And everyone lives to tell the tale of how we die alone some day.
[Chorus:]
Did I get this straight?
Do you want me here
As I struggle through each and every year.
And all these demons, they keep me up all night.
They keep me up all night [x3]
They keep me up all...
