Lyrics

These are the lyrics to our chosen song by The Vinyl Junkies. The song is called Dear Diary. As from the lyrics it was not clear to us what the song was about, we contacted the lead singer and writer of the band and asked them to give us a brief summery of the story behind it. From the lyrics we can see that is is narrative based although there are lots of words involved which makes it less simplified. The story is basically about a bully victim as we can see from the lyrics the individual is very unhappy, even suicidal, so they decide to punish everyone at school who has made them feel this way. The victim does this by taking a gun into school. As a result of this, some are injured and some die.

I have made some notes on the lyrics to ideas for our video, and time length of the track. As we feel the track is very long at 5 minutes 5 seconds, we have decided we are going to cut the track at 3 minutes 35 seconds. This is just after the second chorus. We will fade out the music so that it does not come to a complete stop. I have also timed each section in the verses so that we know the length of time we need to fill for that part of the track.
