Synopsis of narrative

The main singer (Josie Narramore) has recently broken up with her boyfriend (Callum Buckley). This song “Love Me Again” is about getting him back, and dreaming about what it would be like to be with him again, so we want to portray this in our music video.

Example of lyrics:

“I know that after you I was fragile and weak and I know that ever since then I have been lost, and times are hard, and I know that this heart will have to be set free to save me and you’ll come running back into my arms and we’ll stay here forever more and I’ll hold on so tightly that nothing can break us and I’ll stay here, stay here forever until you love me again…”
