Finding the right song...

To find the perfect song to use in our music video, my group and I did a lot of research on various websites. We used websites such as:

• www.myspace.com
• www.youtube.com
• www.unsigned.com
• www.bbc.co.uk/music/introducing/

We used these websites to find the right song that fit in with all our tastes and along the way we compiled a list of possible songs:

• The Dykeenies - Stitches
• Tyler Ward - Live Like We're Dying (Kris Allen cover)
• Out Like A Lion - Jealousy is the Devil's Best Friend
• Acoustic Jim - Indecision
• Alan Powell - Chasing Time

We rated all the above songs out of 10 and then picked out the song that came in the top three. These songs were:

• The Dykeenies - Stitches
• Tyler Ward - Live Like We're Dying (Kris Allen cover)
• Out Like A Lion - Jealousy is the Devil's Best Friend

In order to figure out which song is the best out of the three, we made a pros and cons list to help us in making our decision:

By comparing all of our choices we found that "Stitches" by The Dykeenies was the most popular as the lyrics were very touching and inspirational and it would be easier to do a narrative/performance music video. Furthermore, the fact that they are relatively unknown will make it easier for us to gain their permisson to use their song. Even though Kris Allen was our second most popular choice, it would be hard to gain permission to use his song due to songs right's belonging to Sony Music Entertainment.
