Chosen track (Elle Mary and the Bad Men - Rose)



   

Slowly it happened,
Could I see it coming?
Soaring, you flew
You rose, rose, rose
You rose, rose, rose
Down you landed,
Fallen like the apple,
Pulled by the rain,
Where you belong,
Grounded
You rose, rose, rose
You rose, rose, rose
You rose, rose, rose
You rose, rose, rose
Now you've landed,
Fallen like the apple,
Pulled by the rain,
Where you belong,
Grounded
You rose, rose, rose
You rose, rose, rose

We chose this track, mainly dues to it's highly emotionally charged nature, containing connotations of darkness and loneliness, with some brooding anger, giving us plenty to work with and mold into a useful, working piece. Much of the song makes reference to the fact some other character has ''Fallen'', and has been ''Pulled by the rain'' - particularly interesting due to the typical connotations of sadness and, sometimes anger that are pinned to this particular form of weather. This could also be a link to the Biblical tale of Adam and Eve, with the song showing some contempt for it's referenced other character - talking about an apple as if it is ''The Apple'' of the biblical tale in a singular sense.

Another particular connotation of these lyrics is the emphasis on the lyric ''Rose'' and ''You Rose'', indicating that someone is rising from something, or perhaps rising to meet something.

We contacted Elle Mary directly, and after some wait we received an overwhelmingly positive response.

    Also the lyrics do not show up on your blog, could you please repost

    You need to get much more planning onto your blog, costume, locations and etc evaluated and linking to media productions that inspired your ideas.
