Jon Youseman - Licence To Dance

Lyrics:

It's late and I'm tired and I'm under prepared
I look down at my jeans, they're all covered in tears
Nights like this with low-lights and music and dance
So let's go down town and have a few drinks
Cos you're all my mates I think
Now you'll all remember a night like this with low-lights and music and dance
Let's have a dance, let's have a drink
Cos there's no time to sit down and think
Get on your feet here comes your chance cause everybody you got a license to dance
You got a license to dance
It's late and I'm still tired except I've caught your eye
But I'm not the only one, I'll join the line
Of the idealistic, opportunistic men of our time
I'll join the line
Many men have been in order, they just all seem to adore her
Fine by me, you can take your chance
Just blame it on the low-lights and music and dance
Let's have a dance, let's have a drink
Cos there's no time to sit down and think
Get on your feet here comes your chance cause everybody you got a license to dance
You got a license to dance
You got a license to dance
Now she's lying next to me, not much more that I could see
Many questions lay unanswered, a clever boy leaves us departed
Low lights, music and dance, just blame it on
Low lights, music and dance, low lights music and dance
Let's have a dance, let's have a drink
Cos there's no time to sit down and think
Get on your feet here comes your chance cause everybody you got a license to dance
You got a license to dance
You got a license to dance

Our final choice of song was Licence To Dance by Jon Youseman. He is a friend of members within the group and is currently an unsigned artist, consequently meaning there will be no problems or issues with copyright. As a group we all liked the song, as it has a unique sound and much potential for an entertaining and creative music video.

Song Choices

Within our group, we collected a number of potential songs that we liked and believed could be suitable. We shared early ideas and had decided to mix a peformance from the artist with a narrative story for our music video. However when choosing our track, it was important to discover bands and musicians that were a little more obscure and not well known by the general public, as people could have their own preconceptions of what to expect.
