Change in Music- Coursework prep

We changed our song to ' Absolutely (Story of a Girl)' by Nine Days because we felt it fitted in better with the introduction and sounded better. This song has been used in numerous American Teen Films such as 'American Pie', we felt this worked well with our audience, as its aimed at Teenagers.
This is the YouTube video for the song its from their 2000 album 'The Madding Crowd'.



  Nine Days are an America rock band from Long    Island, New York. Its was formed in 1994 by John  Hampson and Brian Desveaux, and released three  independent albums in the 1990s before their  mainstream debut album, The Madding Crowd,  released in 2000. The band scored a hit in the United  States from the Madding Crowd, with the single  "Absolutely (Story of a Girl)", which reached  number one.




LYRICS

This is the story of a girl
Who cried a river and drowned the whole world
And while she looked so sad in photographs
I absolutely love her
When she smiles

Now how many days in a year
She woke up with hope
But she only found tears
And I can be so insincere
Making her promises never for real
As long as she stands there waiting
Wearing the holes in the soles of her shoes
Now how many days disappear
When you look in the mirror
So how do you choose

Your clothes never wear as well the next day
And your hair never falls in quite the same way
You never seem to run out of things to say

[Chorus:]
This is the story of a girl
Who cried a river and drowned the whole world
And while she looked so sad in photographs
I absolutely love her
When she smiles

Now how many lovers would stay
Just to put up with this shit day after day
Now how did we wind up this way
Watching our mouths for the words that we say
As long as we stand here waiting
Wearing the clothes or the soles that we choose
Now how do we get there today
When we're walking too far for the price of our shoes

Your clothes never wear as well the next day
And your hair never falls in quite the same way
But you never seem to run out of things to say

[Chorus:]
This is the story of a girl
Who cried a river and drowned the whole world
And while she looks so sad and lonely there
I absolutely love her
When she smiles

[Guitar solo]

Well your clothes never wear as well the next day
And your hair never falls in quite the same way
You never seem to run out of things to say

[Chorus:]
This is the story of a girl
Who cried a river and drowned the whole world        
And while she looks so sad in photographs
I absolutely love her

This is the story of a girl
Whose pretty face she hid from the world
And while she looks so sad and lonely there
I absolutely love her

This is the story of a girl
Who cried a river and drowned the whole world
And while she looked so sad in photographs
I absolutely love her
When she smiles
When she smiles!
