young blood lyrics pictures

Norah Jones Young Blood Director Toben Seymour VIDEO IDEA: This song is full of lyrics with interesting visuals; I want to shoot a lot of scenes that visualizes each lyric or idea in the song. TREATMENT This will be a split screen video. I propose that the split screen features Norah Jones performing on the left frame and corresponding scenes and images for every word or idea in her song on the right side of frame. On the left side of frame we will shoot Norah performing in an empty apartment with windows facing the sunshine for a contrasting photographic look. I am also open to having Norah perform in exterior locations. On the right side of frame will be a free association experiment. It will be a video scavenger hunt that will take me all over Los Angeles locations and prop houses to create visuals for each all the lyrics. Sometimes the visuals will be literal and other times cleaver and funny. Some visuals will have continuity and narrative and others will be completely random. I want to find or create each image one shot at a time. I also want them to be shot as video with movement to help signify each word. Even when words repeat in the song we will find a new way to shoot the visual or completely change the signifying object. Sometimes Norah will act out some of the scenes (pending she is available). Otherwise I will cast random people to illustrate different words. The whole while Norah will be performing on the left side of the split screen while the visuals change on the right split screen.

(I will continue to search for reference images to the rest of the song) Band of gold with a diamond implied You wrote letters that you never sent I made promises I'll always deny Now we'll never know what the other meant Watch is ticking like a heartbeat gone berserk Lost the chance to wind the key Roosters are nothing but clucking clockwork Our fears are only what we tell them to be Our fears are only what we tell them to be Drown the last of our matches Burn the rest of each other You were strongest when I ached for breath Through the thick of smoke we'll finally smother Young blood

Young bone Old ghosts Go home (x6)
