The Maccabees - "About Your Dress"
I have chosen this song for my music video, I chose this song because it has a strong ideology. The lyrics explain the narrative of the song quite clearly.
It’s just what all young lovers do
It’s just what all young lovers do
I noticed you
You stood out like a sore thumb
The most beautiful sore thumb I’d ever seen
I took you out
And I showed you a good time
Danced all night, and I waited ‘til the time was right
You say
Never wrong, never right.
Never wrong, never right
Echo, echo, my mind
I say
It’s just what all young lovers do
Do you recall
The night that we first met?
And how I burnt your dress with my cigarette
I don’t know why
But I’m playing this game, for you
I’m guessing it’s just what all young lovers do
You say
Never wrong, never right.
Never wrong, never right
Echo, echo, my mind
I say
It’s just what all young lovers do
Yes they do (Never wrong never right never wrong never right)
Yes they do
Echo her
Echo her
Echo her
Echo
It’s just what all young lovers do (x4)
Analysis
The line "It's just what all young lovers do" is repeated throughout the song, I interpret this to mean that a man meeting a woman at a club and dancing all night has become normal and what everyone does when they're young. In the past women didn't go out drinking as much as they do now and it has become a regular thing which isn't frowned upon and is widely accepted. This shows how times have changed and gender equality has developed and changed.
The line "You say, never wrong, never right... I say it's just what all young lovers do" I have interpreted this to mean that the woman that the song is written about is indecisive about becoming involved with the man but the man just thinks this is typically what all young people do, this could also be about sex.
"I don't know why but I'm playing this game for you" I believe means that the man doesn't really know why he's becoming involved with the woman when she's so indecisive about him. Also I think he just sees this as a game that all young people go through when trying to find themselves a partner.
This song shows the clumsiness of young love and how the couple might not know what to do or how to act with each other so they try to imitate other couples and trying to get their relationship to conform the mould of other relationships.
