Lyric Analysis. Stereolife - Donkeyboy

I got a plan and I'll stay on my own
I got a dream that I should let go                       1.
Waiting for the day to come                              2.

I know, I got a player that is out of control
You gotta stay on my radio                               3.
Waiting for the day to come                              4.

And I know
Spill it on fire and gold
How could I lose control
Cause it's you and I higher than all
Fire is going away                                             
You're a star now stay on your own
I feel you spin my life outa control                  5.

I gotta work it out, take it away
I gotta feel every word you say                       6.
I'm waiting for the day to come

I know, I feel I keep crossing the line             
And it feels like a crime zip-line                     7.
Waiting for the day to come


And I know
Spill it on fire and gold
How could I lose control
Cause it's you and I higher than all
Fire is going away
You're a star now stay on your own
I feel you spin my life outa control

And I know...

And I know
Spill it on fire and gold
How could I lose control
Cause it's you and I higher than all
Fire is going away
You're a star now stay on your own
I feel you spin my life outa control

Spill it on fire and gold
How could I lose control
Cause it's you and I higher than all
Fire is going away
You're a star now stay on your own
I feel you spin my life outa control





1. By having a plan and staying on his own then having a dream that he needs to let go, it could mean that he is going to have to go against his dream for the better of himself and for the better of other people around him.

2. Waiting for the day to come, he is perhaps waiting for his big break or waiting for a bug event.

3. A player out of control that needs to stay on his radio, it could signify that he or something close to him is going crazy, a player, perhaps a CD player keeps on skipping or pauses. Maybe a friend keeps on skipping and by needing to stay on his radio, he needs to stay in order and organized.

4. He again says waiting for the day to come, he could be waiting for his favorite song to come up on the radio.

5. The chorus goes on about fire and how its going away, he is a star and needs to be on his own. This could refer back to the first line, he has now made it as a star perhaps because the star's song is now on the radio. He now maybe needs to stay on his own otherwise the "fire will go away".

6. He needs to think every step he takes through.

7. He's on a crime zip-line, this could refer back to when he was on zip lines when he was in the playground, wants to go back to that life perhaps.


Overall the lyrics don't make sense. You could perhaps get out of it that he's a singer living amongst his radio, waiting for his song to come up on the radio along with his fantasies.

Music Video Preliminary Task - Music Promo

We were given a task to make a music video promo in preperation for making our actual coursework piece. What we learned was that it is time consuming, it took us the best part of 3 weeks to make the whole video. We also found out that we need to film a lot more then we actually need, it would come in use whe we were editing as we had more then just the one option of shots, as well as learning how to use iMovie editing and sounds.
