The song me and my group have chosen is a song by Queens Of The Stone age, 'Medication' taken from the album 'Lullabies to Paralyze'. It is a short song, at one minute fifty four seconds. This is part of the reason we chose it as we can concentrate on making it short and sweet as opposed to long and possibly unfinished. It is a song to my taste, a band I have seen live and off an album I own. The lyrics of the song are as follows;
Medication, for us all, it is a new way
& we're gonna take it cos we love it
Dont you know?
Is the dose you've been dreaming of?
A revelation from a gun
Doesnt matter
Overtaken, mine was yours, now overthrown
Just copulation in a song
Im so contagious, can i cum?
in the new way
all of us cast asides became what has become
Medication for us all
You think you know me, well you're wrong
Doesnt matter
All of us cast asides became what has become
These lyrics are clearly not specific, and can be interpreted as many things. Research on the songwriter, Josh Homme, specifies that he has been through multiple stages of drug enthusiasm and addiction. "is this the dose you've been dreaming of?' clearly relates to a drug of some sort. The whole song is quite scandalous and talks about the relationship between drugs and sex and what it makes people become. Seperated from reality perhaps, specified in the last line of the last two verses. Although the vague content of the lyrics is hard to interpret, and could be related to love (often referred to in 'dosage') or a close friend or family member dying. The video content could be about whatever we want and we could probably relate it to the content of the song however we want. This song gives us leverage in both our options for what we include in the footage, and how long we have to produce it (being it a short song)
