Thank you for coming home 

I'm sorry that the chairs are all worn 
I left them here I could have sworn 
These are my salad days 
Slowly being eaten away 
Just another play for today 
Oh but I'm proud of you, but I'm proud of you 
There's nothing left to make me feel small 
Luck has left me standing so tall 
Gold 
Always believe in your soul 
You've got the power to know 
You're indestructible 
Always believe in, because you are 
Gold 
Glad that you're bound to return 
There's something I could have learned 
You're indestructible, always believe in 
After the rush has gone 
I hope you find a little more time 
Remember we were partners in crime 
It's only two years ago 
The man with the suit and the pace 
You know that he was there on the case 
Now he's in love with you, he's in love with you 
Love is like a high prison wall 
But you could leave me standing so tall 
Gold 
Always believe in your soul 
You've got the power to know 
You're indestructible 
Always believe in, because you are 
Gold 
Glad that you're bound to return 
There's something I could have learned 
You're indestructible, always believe in 
(Musical interlude) 
For love is like a high prison wall 
And you could leave me standing so tall 
Gold 
Always believe in your soul 
You've got the power to know 
You're indestructible 
Always believe in, because you are 
Gold 
Glad that you're bound to return 
There's something I could've learned 
You're indestructible 
Always believe in

Gold - Spandau Ballet

We have decided to do the first minute of the song as this is easiest to organise on a short notice and when filming easy to find when playing from a ipod/mobile phone.
Narrative:
We have looked at the original music video for Gold and liked the idea of using a narrative and cross cutting between a performance of the singer. We have therefore decided to do something similar. We have found an actor to star in our music video who is happy with the song choice and our idea for the storyline.
Shot list:

• Extreme close up of his lips for the first line (00:12-00:21)
• Slow zoom out to his whole face

Jobs

• Harry will be responsible for the actor and the gold bar
• Martha will be responsible for the make up and bringing the music on her phone and speakers

Song choosing

We are deciding what song to choose, and we have narrowed it down to

Gold - Spandau Ballet

and

Never Ever - All Saints
