Transcribing and analysing lyrics and music

My unsigned artist is called Sydney Renae who is based in America and is popular on youtube, Souncloud and  Deezer.

I think the intended primary audience would range from teenagers from 13 to about 30 as most of her songs are love songs and relatively applies to young couples. 


Lyrics -Into you 

I can't explain it
I'm into you 
and every little thing you do 
Never felt that way about no dude
believe me when i say that i am feeling you
Its so hard to find 
someone who is true and kind 
kind in every way like 
to my body and to my mind

(Hook)
Is it true?
That i'm all you need 
is it true?
That you are the one for me
Is it true?
When you are with her 
That i am all your memory 
Is it true?
You be missing me 
is it true? 
The way you be kissing me 
I turn your world around and upside down 
You got me now 

(Chorus) 
I really like what you've done to me
I have no clue what it is you do 
But all i know is i be loving you x2

Everybody's like girl don't trip
You the only one he been with
He don't even really commit like that 
I ain't never seen him with no other chick 
like that 
So tell me how you feel 
cause i cant read yo mine 
wanna know what you've been thinking 
and what you feel inside 

(Hook)
Is it true?
That i'm all you need 
is it true?
That you are the one for me
Is it true?
Cause i've been imagining 
The beauty in what life could be 
Is it true?
I wanna know 
is it true? 
Are you serious?
Do you feel the way i do?
Are you into me like i'm into you?

(Chorus) 
I really like what you've done to me
I have no clue what it is you do 
But all i know is i be loving you x2


According to the lyrics above the main themes of the song is Love and Frustration at the same time as she is wondering if the person she is in love with feels the same way. 

Analysis of the lyrics 

  • The most obvious technique the artist uses is repetition, "Is it true?" which adds emphasis on how frustrated and impatient she is to know if he is in love with her. This shows how emotional she is which will engage the audience even more. 
  • Exaggeration- "I have no clue what it is you do ", this is classed as exaggeration as it almost suggest that the feeling is supernatural which shows again how much she is in love with him and would show the audience how deep love is. "Everything little thing you do." this also shows obsession that everything he does she endures.
  • The structure is verse 1/Hook/Chorus/verse 2/ Hook/Chorus which is almost like declaring her love, questioning his feeling and then expressing her love again and repeated. Hence why i decided one of the themes is frustration. 
  • There are also a lot of questions throughout, e.g. " Are you into me like i'm into you?" which makes the song seem direct and like a letter to the addressee.
  • The use of slang and improper language such as "ain't"or "girl don't trip" which is stereotypically used by teenagers which depicts that this is young love hence why the audiences might also be relatively young. 

Analysis of the Music/Tempo

The instrumental of this song is made up of notes from a electric piano as well as blurred lyrics of the artist played in the background. The instrumental is well suited for the genre as its quite chilled and only beats on a high note where the lyrics need to be intensified. For example, at the start of the song the only sound was faded and blurred and once the line "I cant explain it" kicks in the note is high and tense (tempo) which welcomes the audience and listener into the song and will engage them. However, throughout the song there is a wave of high and low which suits the idea of the artist being confused and frustrated. 

Applying it to my music video

I have decided to make my music video to this song narrative with a pinch of interpretative that actually visually shows the two couples being in love and the girl being some what insecure which will be shown during the hook as she question his love. This could be done by showing the girl disturbing the guy and lip synching the line repetitively "is it true?". i'll also show the good times where we see she likes "every little thing" he does by cuddling him or smiling at him intensely and showing how in love she is during the verses where the tempo is low and depicts peaceful love.
