Music for our film opening- Coursework prep

For our film opening, we were doing some background research on how teenagers are portrayed in television series and their acting skills, in order to give our actors some advice. While watching a series called 'Home and Away' (Channel 5), we came across and song which was playing in the background of one episode which would be ideal for our film opening. It is called 'Never Be The Same // The Rubens'. This is because the song gives the feel that (in terms of our film opening sequence) that both Emma and Oscar feel alone. For example, Oscar is starting at a new school and Emma has bad experiences which shows her what she has and appreciates what she's got - hence the lyrics fit.


Lyrics
I found myself that day
There was no other way
I'd spent some time away
I'd never be the same

I finally was awake
Like water to my face
I'd finally found my place
I'd never be the same
I'd never be the same

It took something bad, to show me what I had
It took something sad, to remember who I am
I was forced to change
I'm not sure who to thank
Yeah I was such a waste

I'd never be the same
I'd never be the same
It took something bad, to show me what I had
It took something sad, to remember who I am

I found myself that day
There was no other way
I'd spent some time away
I'd never be the same


In order to use this song, we had to contact the band themselves, so we looked at their website (http://therubensmusic.com) could only find them on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook. The only social networking site in which we would contact them directly was their Facebook page, in which we messaged them.

This is the official music video to 'Never been the Same'.
