'FEELING GOOD' - Muse
This got the group "feeling good" for we could now crack on with rest of the development process!
We chose this song as opposed to 'Glory', because we felt it could relate more to the target audience (by being a popular song choice from a stereotypical "indie" band) as well as the theme we have corresponded with it; relationships and break-ups are apparent in youth, so our message in our music video could help convey this. Our involving of a major "break out" of (mild) violence and alcohol abuse could also appeal to 15 - 25 year olds which links to our chosen target audience.
As well as this, we also finished up on our pitch presentation, which we are presenting next lesson, so overall it was a good lesson!
This a live version of the song on 'Jools Holland' in 2001 performed by Muse:
'Feeling Good' was originally written for a musical in the 1960's, 'The Roar of the Greasepaint - The Smell of the Crowd' by English songwriters, Anthony Newley and Leslie Bricusse. Cy Grant starred in this musical, him being the one who sang the original version.
This is the original version of 'Feelin' Good':
It is also a hugely popular song, with many adaptations from different artists, such as Bobby Darin, Frank Sinatra Jr and Michael Buble; it is also used in the media world presently in the Virgin Atlantic Advert 2011 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hbib-A6NpW8
