Possible songs for my music video



My song choice is either going to be from the rock, alternative or indie genre. I have chosen to use one of these genres because these are the three I most listen too and enjoy. 

Alternative/ rock Pop Punk- My favourite band in the entire world has to be A Day To Remember, I love this band for many reasons, for example how they can perform all sorts of different styles of music such as softer rock like "It means A lot to You" and more up beat and post hardcore sounding such as "Mr Highway Is Thinking About The End". They also seem quite refreshing and more different to most artists out there at the moment which makes them more unique. Lastly I like them because they are also known to do covers of other bands such as "Over My Head" originally written and sung by The Fray an American rock-piano band. 

 Fans and critics alike have described this blend as "pop-mosh," "popcore", and, more recently, "easy core". When asked in an interview with Absolute Punk about their sound, 
Jeremy McKinnon stated:
It's weird. See, it's funny because we have been doing this for so long. When we started, this shit was not cool. Everyone told us mixing the two genres wouldn't work. Hell, a lot of people still feel that way. We've just always played what we wanted to hear, and to be honest people weren't doing it back then. We loved pop punk, we loved hardcore bands, and we couldn't decide what to be. So we said f*** it. Let's do them both.




Indie-  I adore this genre as you can have a good dance to this really anywhere but epically at festivals. Also nearly all lyrics are able to connect with most peoples experiences & feelings which makes this genre probably one of the most popular of all time. Indie to me just generally creates a happy and energetic audience. Favourite bands of this genre would have to be Life House, The Killers, Hello Goodbye, Blur & the Goo Goo Dolls. I think with an indie song I could have a lot of fun with making the video and have a lot more options.
