Task 3: Mind mapping

Phil Collins – In to the air

"I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord

And I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord

Can you feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord, oh Lord

Well if you told me you were drowning, I would not lend a hand

I've seen your face before my friend, but I don't know if you know who I am

Well I was there and I saw what you did, I saw it with my own two eyes

So you can wipe off that grin, I know where you've been

It's all been a pack of lies

And I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord

Well I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord

I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord

Well I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord, oh Lord

Well I remember, I remember, don't worry, how could I ever forget

It's the first time, the last time we ever met

But I know the reason why you keep your silence UP, oh no you don't fool me

Well the hurt doesn't show, but the pain still grows

It's no stranger to you and me

I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord

Well been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord

I can feel it in the air tonight, oh Lord, oh lord

Well I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord

I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord

And I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord

I can feel it in the air tonight, oh lord, oh lord, oh lord

Well I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh lord, oh lord

I can feel it in the air tonight, oh lord, oh lord, oh lord, oh lord

Well I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh lord, oh lord, oh lord"

This writer wrote this song after his divorce with his wife, he was very angry with this situation. From some of the lyrics we can find out that he may have watched his wife cheating on him. This is very similar to our original idea but this seems to be from the point of view from the one who was cheated on not the one who was the cheater. Phil Collins had a wife and they got a divorce and he wrote this song for this purpose to express his anger for the divorce. From the lyrics we think that he may been cheated on as from the words like, "Well I was there and I saw what you did, I saw it with my own two eyes

So you can wipe off that grin, I know where you've been

It's all been a pack of lies" in  this sentence he says that he saw 'her' and what was happening and he knows that she was cheating on him. 

This is a good song and the music video is a bit different than our idea for a music video as we would is the man reflecting on his relationship and it leading to the moment that he sees her with another man. Also, taking an idea from an advert with this song, Cadbury’s advert, when a gorilla is on drums and when the good part of the drumming part starts that is when the gorilla starts. A lot of people remember and like that advert and it is a quiet popular advert so we would incorporate this part in the music video.
