Music track analysation unit 29 assignment 1

Song chosen: Kid Cudi - Satellite Flight

Lyrics -
There is meaning behind kid cudi's lyrics in every song, here are a few lyrics from satellite flight explained.

''Lately ive been feeling invincible,as im trying to find my way nothing can hold me though'' Since the release of Kid Cudi's last album, he has announced he feels more confident and claims he has 'revamped' his life.

''Lets take it where there arent any roads'' This is a reference to back to the future ''where were going, we dont need any roads'' this lyric explains how Kid Cudi wants to give his fans a musical experience like no other, metaphorically out of this world.

''Take it to the satellite tonight, take flight to the moon'' Cudi wants his music to feel like a journey, his music is known to create an extreme sense of feeling like your out of this world, surreal like and unique. He wants his fans to continue following him on this 'journey'

Taking into consideration all explanations of the lyrics above, a good idea for this video could include a lot of things. I think the style of the video would be surreal like, including a space/futuristic theme foreshadowing what may come from Kid Cudi, as his lyrics include deeper meanings, the video should also. The overall message behind the song is to follow Kid Cudi on his musical journey so the video could be some sort of journey through space or time highlighting parts of his life and showing where he is now. Maybe kid cudi could be looking into a mirror/window in a dark/space themed room and the mirror is showing the rest of the world and he is above it. As the song progresses he could be moving further away from the world bollow to symbolise the 'journey' within his music.

  1. This is good analysis Joe. It is clear that you have taken a meaning from the song itself and applied it to your ideas that are imaginative, original yet still appropriate for the genre. Well done.

  2. After a good start you need to make sure that your pre-production paperwork and finished music video is on your blog or you won't receive a mark.
