 Lyric Analysis


When I had you to myself, I didn't want you around [Showing selfish views]
Those pretty faces always made you stand out in a crowd
But someone picked you from the bunch, one glance was all it took [Regret + cause of neglect]
Now it's much too late for me to take a second look [Out of control now]
Oh, baby, give me one more chance (to show you that I love you) [Forgiveness]
Won't you please let me back in your heart
Oh, darling', I was blind to let you go (let you go, baby) [Repeated regret]
But now since I see you in his arms (I want you back) [Jealousy]
Yes, I do now (I want you back)
Ooh, ooh, baby (I want you back)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (I want you back)
Na, na, na, na
Trying to live without your love is one long sleepless night [Struggle]
Let me show you, girl, that I know wrong from right [Fight Back]
Every street you walk on, I leave tear stains on the ground [Sadness]
Following the girl I didn't even want around [Repeated regret]
Let me tell you now
Oh, baby, all I need is one more chance (to show you that I love you)
Won't you please let me back in your heart
Oh, darlin', I was blind to let you go (let you go, baby)
But now since I see you in his arms, uh-huh
Oh, just one more chance to show that I love you
Baby (baby)
Baby (baby)
Baby (baby)
Forget what happened then (I want you back) [Repeated Forgiveness] 
Let me live again [Captured in doubt]
Oh, baby, I was blind to let you go
But now since I see you in his arms
(I want you back)
Spare me of this cause
Get back what I lost  [Sinful = praying for another chance]
Oh, baby, I need one more chance, ha
I tell ya that I love you
Baby (oh), baby (oh), baby (oh)
I want you back, ha
I want you back

Music videos analysis

MUSIC VIDEO EXAMPLES The videos included all share I similar theme in which they are gleeful, innovative, creative videos from the 80's where the first ever music videos were televised to the world in colour shaping music production and viewer counter-ship for the industry. Nowadays it is a must need for a song to have a video for it in order to promote the song. Music Videos are a chance for creators and musicians to express themselves, their music and a construct for audience. The videos included as part of my analysis are 'Video killed the radio star' by The Buggles (1981), the first ever music video revolutionising the consumption of music. My second video I have chosen to analyse is 'Cant Tell Me Nothing' by Kanye West (2007), I chose this video as it is executed perfectly to be a high production piece of art despite the low budget and simplistic setting. The natural light, editing and small use of pyrotechnics shift a simple video to a promotional film. The 3r

  INITIAL RESEARCH  REASON FOR VIDEO I chose the Jackson 5, 'I want you back', one of the options on the list. This song perfectly captures an upbeat style music sample whilst a lot of love songs can be quite sad and downbeat forming a very uninspiring and originality to which a music video has to aim to be unique and creative. The Jackson 5  are an American  pop band  composed of members of the  Jackson family . The group was founded in 1964 in Gary, Indiana, by Joe Jackson, as well as by brothers  Jackie ,  Tito , and  Jermaine , with younger brothers  Marlon  and  Michael  joining soon after.   In 1968, they left Steeltown Records and signed with  Motown , where they were the first group to debut with four consecutive number one hits on the  Billboard Hot 100  with the songs " I Want You Back " , " ABC ", " The Love You Save ", and " I'll Be There ". In 1983, Jermaine reunited with the band to perform on the Motown 25: Yesterday, T
