The Beach Boys - Wouldn't It Be Nice

Me and Emma have come to a final decision on the song we want to choose for our music video, The Beach Boys' - Wouldn't It Be Nice. Not only is a great, and relevant song, but it is also universally famous and iconic.


Below are the lyrics to the song: 


Wouldn't it be nice if we were older
Then we wouldn't have to wait so long
And wouldn't it be nice to live together
In the kind of world where we belong

You know its gonna make it that much better
When we can say goodnight and stay together

Wouldn't it be nice if we could wake up
In the morning when the day is new
And after having spent the day together
Hold each other close the whole night through

Happy times together we've been spending
I wish that every kiss was never ending
Wouldn't it be nice

Maybe if we think and wish and hope and pray it might come true
Baby then there wouldn't be a single thing we couldn't do
We could be married
And then we'd be happy

Wouldn't it be nice

You know it seems the more we talk about it
It only makes it worse to live without it
But lets talk about it
Wouldn't it be nice

Good night my baby
Sleep tight my baby


Here is what one my target audience members thinks about this song: 
"To me, this song exudes hope. I have never seemed to be able to make a relationship succeed, but somehow this song helps me keep it together. No matter how low I can be, I play this song and a chance that there'll be light somewhere in the way just pops up.


In certain opportunities, though, it makes me long for that sometime I haven't lived, in that somewhere I haven't been, with that someone I haven't yet met, but know I will.

Until then, play it once again, and help me make it through. "

- As you can see this song is very meaningful and hold a great sense of both lust and loss, which is something me and Emma plan to include in our video. We want to capture love in it's real and raw state. 

From a editing and directing  point of view the song has high potential due to it's easy tempo, allowing us to cut and plan shots with ease meaning we can try and avoid messy cuts and editing in general.
