Different Colours Lyrics

Coming up slowly, oh, sun over the hill

Daylight's still a long time coming

But I know it will

Been under this 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

Sing

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

We keep cranking 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

Sing

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)

(Opposite, 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

I said, this is why, this is why

We're tearing it up all night

Oh 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

(Oh yeah)

We're just different colors

This is why we're biting the bullet

We know the kids are right

Different Colours - Walk The Moon

Finally we have chosen a song for our music video. The reason why we chose this song as its upbeat and we could visually show what some of the lyrics are showing.

Also we plan to use 3 actors/actresses in our video, and we want them to be physically different in terms of ethnicity, which brings a literal meaning to the song title 'Different Colours'.

Along with having a strong narrative, the underlying message in our music video is about friendship and the chorus represents this by repeating the words "We carry each other". This will be shown in our video by having each teenager dependent on another for support throughout.

Song ideas

We looked at potential song ideas for our music video.
So far we have:

Hungry like the wolf by Duran Duran
Devil you know by X Ambassadors
Renegades by X Ambassadors
King for a Day by Kasabian
Weekend by the Misters


My personal favourite is King for a Day as I think it would fit our video idea well as it is upbeat.

Song idea - Season 2 Episode 3

This could be a potential song for us to use in our Music Video because it is fun which fits our idea of a colourful, random music video.

One thing i like about this video is the jump cuts in the beginning which shows the passing of time. It also tells the audience how bored she is because she is just laying around doing nothing
