Lyrical Livelyhood

My favorite song lyrics make me feel, encouraged. I like to listen to music while I play basketball, so it helps me practice. It puts me in a state of complete focus, with no distractions. I usually like the songs with lyrics about encouragement and different varieties of sound. It makes me feel better, if I'm feeling down most of my favorite songs help significantly. Basically, music is quite a large aspect in my life.

The song we picked for our music video was "Kick Push" by [Lupe Fiasco]. The reason we picked this song is because it is a very energetic song, and we all have good ideas for a music idea that match with the lyrics. One example would be, in the point of the song when it says, "Kick, push" we will have a skateboard, with only the feet showing, and it will be kicking and pushing. We are all familiar with this song so we know almost all of the lyrics.

The visual story we will tell is a boy, wanting to learn how to skateboard. At first, he will fail. He will fail many times before he learns how to succeed. He gets to the point of always skating, and having his neighbors yelling at him. Due to this, he moves to other places, and becomes pretty popular. Most places he skates, people tell him he can't skate here. Yes, it seems somewhat meaningless, but we enjoy the song.
