Lyrical Annalysis
Tried to keep you close to meBut life got in between
Tried to square not being there
But think that I should have been
Hold back the river, let me look in
your eyes
Hold back the river, so I
Can stop for a minute and see where you hide
Hold back the river, hold back
Hold back the river, so I
Can stop for a minute and see where you hide
Hold back the river, hold back
Once upon a different life
We rode our bikes into the sky
But now we call against the tide
Those distant days are flashing by
We rode our bikes into the sky
But now we call against the tide
Those distant days are flashing by
Hold back the river, let me look in
your eyes
Hold back the river, so I
Can stop for a minute and be by your side
Hold back the river, hold back
Hold back the river, so I
Can stop for a minute and be by your side
Hold back the river, hold back
Hold back the river, let me look in
your eyes
Hold back the river, so I
Can stop for a minute and see where you hide
Hold back the river, hold back
Hold back the river, so I
Can stop for a minute and see where you hide
Hold back the river, hold back
Hold oho, oho
Oho, oho
Oho, oho
Lonely water, lonely water, won't you
let us wander
Let us hold each other
Lonely water, lonely water, won't you let us wander
Let us hold each other
Let us hold each other
Lonely water, lonely water, won't you let us wander
Let us hold each other
Hold back the river, let me look in
your eyes
Hold back the river, so I
Can stop for a minute and be by your side
Hold back the river, hold back
Hold back the river, so I
Can stop for a minute and be by your side
Hold back the river, hold back
Hold back the river, let me look in
your eyes
Hold back the river, so I
Can stop for a minute and be by your side
Hold back the river, hold
Hold back the river, so I
Can stop for a minute and be by your side
Hold back the river, hold
Lonely
water, lonely water, won't you let us wander
Let us hold each other
Lonely water, lonely water, won't you let us wander
Let us hold each other
How does the lyrics, tempo and genre of the song effect our ideas for the video?
Let us hold each other

How does the lyrics, tempo and genre of the song effect our ideas for the video?
The lyrics of the song are repeated, therefore giving us a strong structure to follow. With images used within the song of water and rivers, it allowed us justification of our idea the video at the beach and the romantic subtext led to the idea of the plot being a love story. The main influence over our ideas was ,in fact, the tempo of the song. This song has a varied pace. The start of the song it is extremely slow, which contrasts the fast chorus. This inspired us to have a plot of varying levels of action so we can have corresponding scenes and music. For example, a high tempo section of music could require a running scene.
