Initial responses to music video

One Republic-I Lived:
The genre of the music video is pop/rock and also the style song is soothing but also some mixed emotions because that it will make you think about the meaning and things which you have done over the years and your whole life. The length of the song is 3mins 54 secs which is medium and also it has a story line behind it. The meaning of the song is that you only live once and make the most of it and thing about the things you have done in the past and also how you were like in your childhood. Also any achievements you have completed as well. The narrative does tell a story because from the chorus and also the clips they have added in.  The song makes you feel mixed emotions because it can make you feel sad and happy. They say the name of the song a lot which is 'I lived' and you imagine your childhood.

The Saturdays-Higher
The genre of the song is pop and the style of the song is happy and cheerful to dance to and have a good time. The length of the song is 3mins 35 seconds and the pace of the song is medium which you can enjoy too. The meaning of the song is that things can get better and people can make you happy and they are always with you. Sometimes you can feel down and bored. There is a narrative in the lyrics because at the beginning they are annoyed and fed up but then you get better with the people who you are with as they always listen to go and understand. My first impression of the song is that it was a good song and it is also catchy and it can also relate to anyone. The word higher could symbolise that things are getting better.
I'm doing nothing;
'Cause then at least I'm doing nothing wrong.
And I'm gon' staying on my own,
And turn off my telephone,
If nothing's gained then nothing's won.

Yeah, you can tell them,
Yeah, you can say whatever;
I don't care, yeah.
And if you wanna play it cool,
Then I got news for you,
It's getting hotter, hotter in here...

So, when I speak, listen
This is my decision,
And you keep on missing out the words (oh, oh, oh)
So when I speak, listen,
'Cause you keep on pushing,
Like I need permission to be heard (oh, oh, oh)

I'm gonna lift it, lift it higher!
I'm gonna lift it, lift it higher!
So when I speak, listen,
This is my decision,
And you keep on missing out the words.

It's getting closer,
I'm movin' in and yeah I think you know,
'Cause I am sick of playing games,
And I'm not gon' say no names,
But you and I know who to blame.

Yeah, you can tell 'em
Yeah, you can go ahead and put it straight,
'Cause I am finishing myself,
And I do not need your help,
I'm gonna do this, do it right.
