I'd hate if that was all they did

I was listening to Would You Call That Love this morning while walking to work & I could see a storyline music video in my head for that song. Of course this was also about 6.30am so my mind may have been half asleep at the time so that may have helped but it seemed so good in my head that I wished it was true & could happen. But then on the other hand I don't know that I'd want that song to become a single as then I'd be disappointed probably by any video which was made for it

haha you could turn out to be very disappointed yes, what was your storyline?

***shinebrighterxx*** · 09-10-2018, 03:09 AM

I don't think I could explain it. I may need to listen to the song again to try to

. If I still remember it tomorrow I'll try then, need to sleep now

heartღaflutter · 09-10-2018, 03:15 AM

you have made me curious

***shinebrighterxx*** · 09-11-2018, 01:16 AM

Sorry

Here goes trying to explain

Quote:

Hows life on that mountain you've been climbin' baby
Is it what you thought you wanted, what you were needin'
How's life in that rear view, that mirror you don't mention
Is it hard seein' how you were and what you're becoming

Saw a car driving away towards mountains, person looking through a rear view mirror, before shots to a previous life in b/w mixed with shots of current coloured life

Quote:

When you look back on love do you think of us?
When it's all said and done is it all enough?
When you weigh the loss to all you've gained, tell me does it all add up?
When you look back on us, would you call that love?
Would you, would you call that love?
Would you, would you call that love?

Moving into the chorus continue the previous & current life shots, match with the lyrics a bit. I see scales for the 'weigh the loss' line but I always have when I listen to this song. So I see random images throughout the video popping up like that. Mostly previous life shots as the chorus reaches the end
(I see the same thing for each chorus, only different shots in each one)

Quote:

How's life in that fast lane, that pavement you've been chasin'
Is it all greener without me or is something missin'
How's life with that feelin', that loneliness you're hidin'
Is it hard thinkin' about me, all that you were given

I see someone in a job where they've reached a high position, but they're alone. Mix in b/w shots of previous life with lots of people & love in their life

Quote:

We can't go back
We can't undo what's done
A place to rest your head, I hope you find one
I forgive as you forget too much
When you look back on us, would you call that love?

I see the person walking backwards as if to go back & press rewind on the memory but it doesn't change anything. The person wakes up alone, but then I also see them meeting someone new & finding a happier life so more shots of colourful happy now present life, with limited shots of b/w previous life moving into the last chorus part

Oooh I like the idea!! I think you should pitch it

***shinebrighterxx*** · 09-12-2018, 01:18 AM

Where would I pitch it to?

heartღaflutter · 09-12-2018, 08:45 AM

To Kelly on facebook!?

***shinebrighterxx*** · 09-13-2018, 01:31 AM

That could work

heartღaflutter · 09-13-2018, 09:17 AM

I think it definitely could!

Almost new thread

xkellyx · 09-19-2018, 01:15 PM

Love the idea for the video Chelle!

heartღaflutter · 09-22-2018, 11:19 AM

Then give it to us!

Any title ideas?

xkellyx · 09-22-2018, 12:23 PM

Hope we are definitely getting a video!

heartღaflutter · 09-22-2018, 12:30 PM

well it seems like it's a slight tease that we are getting it!

Hopefully!!

***shinebrighterxx*** · 09-22-2018, 08:18 PM
