Unit 29 - AS2 - Task 3

Analyse The Track

Coming up slowly, oh, sun over the hill
Daylight still a long time coming
But I know it will
Been under their spell, oh, but we're coming awake
So we'll be rude, we'll be loud
As long as it takes

This is why, this is why, 
we crank the dial to the right
This is why we're biting the bullet
We know the kids are right

Different colors
We carry each other
We're just different colours 
This is why we're biting the bullet
We know the kids are right

We keep cracking the music up
Driving through our towns
But they don't wanna hear
They want us to turn it down
So come on lovers, come on haters
Tonight we raise the fire
Cause when the people get to dancing
They forget about taking sides

This is why, this is why, 
we crank the dial to the right
This is why we're biting the bullet
We know the kids are right

Different colors
We carry each other
We're just different colors 
This is why we're biting the bullet
We know the kids are right

(For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction)

We're coming awake, out of your spell, 
As long as it takes, we're coming awake

We're coming awake, out of your spell, 
As long as it takes, we're coming awake

This is why, this is why, 
we crank the dial to the right
This is why we're biting the bullet
We know the kids are right

This is why, this is why, we turn it up all night
This is why we're biting the bullet
We know the kids are right

Different colors
We carry each other
We're just different colors 
This is why we're biting the bullet
We know the kids are right

Different colors
We carry each other
We're just different colors 
This is why we're biting the bullet
We know the kids are right


This song can be interpreted in many different ways. One interpretation is that the song is about the gay-pride movement considering the gay-pride flag has lots of different colours in it. Another interpretation is that is about different walks of life referring to each way as a different colour.

Again this song can be interpreted to follow a story or not. My interpretation of the song is that the different colours can represent different emotions. So can be thought to someone going through different emotions in one day, and the different colours can represent different emotions.

The song relies heavily on the chorus in order to make the song catchy, so there are a lot choruses. But contain 2 verses and a bridge.

Unit 29 - AS2 - Task 2

Analyse the Artist

Walk The Moon is an American 'indie pop' band from Ohio in the United States. the band consists of lead singer Nicholas Petricca, Kevin Ray, Sean Waugaman and Eli Maiman.

The artists image/style is very important when making a music video on them, it is important that you must capture the style that best suits them. Walk The Moon's style/image revolves around them being young, so they write songs and make videos that young people can relate to. So their videos can be shown to be childish. 'SPIN Magazine' described the group as a "poppy, art-rock quartet".

The style of the song that we chosen is indie pop.
