Ray LaMontagne 'Trouble' Lyrics

Trouble...
Trouble, trouble, trouble, trouble
Trouble been doggin' my soul since the day I was born
Worry...
Worry, worry, worry, worry
Worry just will not seem to leave my mind alone
We'll I've been...
saved by a woman
I've been...
saved by a woman
I've been...
saved by a woman
She won't let me go
She won't let me go now
She won't let me go
She won't let me go now

Trouble...
Oh, trouble, trouble, trouble, trouble
Feels like every time I get back on my feet
she come around and knock me down again
Worry...
Oh, worry, worry, worry, worry
Sometimes I swear it feels like this worry is my only friend
We'll I've been saved...
by a woman
I've been saved...
by a woman
I've been saved...
by a woman
She won't let me go
She won't let me go now
She won't let me go
She won't let me go now

Oh..., Ahhhh....
Ohhhh
She good to me now
She gave me love and affection
She good tell me now
She gave me love and affection
I Said I love her
Yes I love her
I said I love her
I said I love...
She good to me now
She's good to me
She's good to me

If i was to produce a music video to the song “Trouble” by Ray LaMontagne my storyline would follow a young man who is troubled but is saved by the help from a woman. By filming in three locations; The Humber Bridge, Inside my house and The College Theatre (acting as a musicians club with a stage), there will be a clear contrast between the actors past and present.
The scenes shot at home will be representing the actors past as he is strguggling to cope with the pressures of life and shows him having a massive argument with his girlfriend. After this he storms off and runs to the coastline near the humber bridge. Anger will be shown through motfis such as tearing a red rose up, throwing rocks into the water and pacing, he is thinking of throwing himself into the harsh waters.

These shos will be interweaved with shots of the musician playing at a concert happily, and in the final shots its revealed that his grilfriend is in the audience and they end up sorting things out.
To emphasis his past I will also be changing these shots to black and white, costume will be shabby in comparison to the upbeat nightclub he plays in, wearing a more formal costume.

RHCP 'Under The Bridge' Lyrics

Sometimes I feel like I don't have a partner
Sometimes I feel like my only friend

Is the city I live in, the city of angels
Lonely as I am, together we cry

I drive on her streets 'cause she's my companion
I walk through her hills cause she knows who I am
She sees my good deeds and she kisses the winded
I never worried, now that is a lie

I don't ever wanna feel like I did that day
Take me to the place I love, take me all the way
I don't ever wanna feel like I did that day
Take me to the place I love, take me all the way

It's hard to believe that there's nobody out there
It's hard to believe that I'm all alone
At least I have her love, the city she loves me
Lonely as I am, together we cry

I don't ever wanna feel like I did that day
Take me to the place I love, take me all the way
I don't ever wanna feel like I did that day
Take me to the place I love, take me all the way


The lyrics for this song where orginally from a poem, written by vocalist Anothony Kiedis wrote. The lyrics express a feelings of loneliness and despondency and to reflect on narcotics and their impact on his life. Under the bridge was where he used to take the drug Heroin. At frist Kieds didnt want the lyrics to be used, as they where quite sad. But the other band members felt the vibes "got up and walked over to their instruments and started finding the beat and guitar chords to match it". Frusciante chose the chords he played in the introduction to balance out the depressing nature of the lyrics, saying "my brain interpreted it as being a really sad song so I thought if the lyrics are really sad like that I should write some chords that are happier" (refrence taken from Wikipedia).

But for my music video I am aiming to stay well clear of any drug related issues or redrences and will replace the drug use will general lonelyness the character feels from loosing his friends and lover.
