Ben Howard keep your head up lyric analyses



Key lyrics and what they mean and how we can use them in black


Keep Your Head Up
Already we have made this part of the song in the narrative about keeping your head up and moving on .
the spaces that have grown between us.
This links with the relationship break down in are story line . this can be show in scene and in the start were there will be a break up in the relationship and they go there separate ways .

With the strength of a turnin' tide
Oh lookin' out at this happiness,
Oh feelin' blind and realize,
These are about been blinded  by love and trying to find true happiness  can be show also by long and extreme long shots to show at first he is alone and needs time to think wich can also be used with the narrative shots .

Keep your head up, keep your heart strong.
Keep your mind set, keep your hair long.
Oh my darlin' keep your head up, keep your heart strong.
All these are about keeping stong and also hits of the look of this individual with the keep your hair long this shows us that it is something we must incorporate to stay true to the lyrics we can show this by showing close ups and getting the look right incorporating the hair and the mind set of this character .

I saw a friend of mine the other day,
Oh I said I had been away, and he knew,
Oh he knew the depths I was meanin'.
And it felt so good to see his face,
We have also put this in with me seeing Liam going to cheer him up and this will be show with two shots to show the unison of these two character’s  and also when it moves on to see all the other friends its about helping your friends able to move on also many close ups to show facial expression and thought process .


All the lyrics

Ben Howard - Keep Your Head Up
I spent my time watchin' the spaces that have grown between us.
And I cut my mind on second best or the scars that come with the greeness.
And I gave my eyes to the boredom, still the seabed wouldn't let me in,
And I tried my best to embrace the darkness in which I swim.
Oh the darkness in which I swim.
I'm walkin' back down this mountain
With the strength of a turnin' tide
Oh the wind's so soft on my skin,
The sun so hard upon my side.
Oh lookin' out at this happiness,
I search for between the sheets.
Oh feelin' blind and realize,
All I was searchin' for was me.
Ooh all I was searchin' for was me.
Keep your head up, keep your heart strong.
No, no, no, no.
Keep your mind set, keep your hair long.
Oh my darlin' keep your head up, keep your heart strong.
Oh no no, keep your mind set in your ways, keep your hair,
Keep your hair long.
'Cause I'll always remember you the same,
Oh eyes are wild flowers, within demons of change.
I saw a friend of mine the other day,
And he told me that my eyes were gleamin'.
Oh I said I had been away, and he knew,
Oh he knew the depths I was meanin'.
And it felt so good to see his face,
Or the comfort invested in my soul.
Oh to feel the warmth of a smile,
When he said "I'm happy to have you home.
Ooh I'm happy to have you home."
And I showed my body to the sea again,
And I laughed at her for bein' so cruel.
And I left these broken bottles, and empty corridors.
And I walked right on through.
And I never, I never dream of you.
Oh honey I never, I never dream of you.
Yeah, keep your head up, keep your heart strong.
Oh, no, no, no, no.
Keep your mind set, keep you hair long.
Oh my my darlin', keep your head up, keep you heart strong.
No no no, keep your mind set in your ways,
Keep your hair, keep your hair long.
'Cause I'll always remember you the same.
Oh eyes are wild flowers within demons of change.
May you find happiness there,
May all your hopes all turn out right.
Ooh may you find happiness there,
May you find warmth in the middle of the night.

the first draft of the story


The story is based around (keep your head up ) as so the title of the song is we have decided to take these terms and other key lyric’s to make the story of Liam AKA Fin breaks up with his girlfriend alone and feeling pretty down he goes of to gather his thoughts and loss .

Once there this will be location two were there will be many shots showing his though process and being alone after that one of his friends comes to see weather he is ok .
Then there will be track shots to the third location showing the unison of the two character’s   to the point were they meet the rest the rest of Fins friends and there will be many alternative shots between them .

Finally point of few shot to show that Fin has fallen in love with someone in love with someone else and then it goes black and white and then ends with the sparks of the fire flickers in the air .
