Who is Ben Folds?

At first we had to listen to a various choice of 10 different songs, where the producers would choose the song.

The Song choices we had were:

  • Julia Noones - To the damsels run
  • kirstin Dunst - Turning Japanese
  • Maria Taylor - Timelapse lifeline
  • Maxeen - Save Me
  • Red Saturday - The wait
  • Second Line - My october
  • The Solids - Hey beautiful
  • Tonic - Knockdown walls
  • Vertical Horizon - One time around
The song I had chosen for my music video is:

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Ben Folds - Zak and Sara
 
 
The song "Zak and Sara" is about a young couple who are in a music shop, and Zak plays his girlfriend Saras favourite song on a guitar in the shop, and her mind wanders off where she dreams about her future and also a warm beautiful paradise. She apparently also see's world class DJ's and she begins to imagine the song Zak's playing in a remix in her mind. In the song there are lyrics about sara saying "Often Sara would have spells where she lost time, she saw the future." By this I think Ben Folds is showing that Sara's mind goes off and imagines the future basically and also what she thinks will happen, that it will be happy and cheerful place.
