Drafting and planning - Music analysis

             

In a previous post i have look at the lyrics of the song "Run Boy Run" and what i though they mean and how the lyrics can inspire my music video concept (Previous post). Now i'm looking at the actual song it's self (instrumental version) to see what the musician is trying to express through it, in hope this will also help me with my music video.

The song starts of with four bell rings and then after that it goes into a fast paced beat heavy tune. The bells suggests some sort of an awakening/realisation to something that needs to be escaped from which is shown through the fast tempo drums as if someone was running. This heavy drum beat continues giving off the feeling of anxiousness. At around 0:30 this beat increases with a gun cocking sound which creates a senses of threat and danger. The chorus which starts at around 0:59 contrasts with the sounds from the verses and it focuses on lots of brass and string instruments which gives off a triumphant sense as if a person has overcame something. The song then repeats this format until the end where the brass and sting instruments are played through suggesting the danger from the beginning is over now and the person has won/free.

From analysing the music of the song the main themes i can gather from it is;

-Realisation
-Threat
-Fear
-Overcoming

I can use these themes to create my music video as i need to showcase some of these so my video can link to the song.
