This song was suggested to the group by Vivian. We thought that this was a good track to use as not only was it of the Electronic/Alternative genre, but that we immediately came up with some possible ideas for the music video also, and we agreed the ideas worked well with the song. Issues with other tracks we chose before this one were that the beat and tempos did not develop, however with this song they did so that was not an issue. Vivian also suggested to the group that the gaps in the song where there were no lyrics could be used to show VHS footage of a narrative story, which we thought was a really good idea and was one we had been looking to do from the start of the project regardless of track. The length of the track however is an issue, as it is 1 minute over the exam board's 3 minute maximum for the length of a music video, so this is something to discuss with the group. Seeing as The xx are under The Young Turks record label, Louis contacted their office asking for permission to use the track in our project. A copy of the email we sent is below.
