Chasing pavements- My ideas

Outside of the lesson I decided to come up with some ideas myself I firstly did this by looking at lyrics. I looked at the line 'i waited as my heart dropped and back begins to tingle'. I related this to how if someone is in a accident and get injured and how they reference to there back tingling when they have broke it and how your heart drops when you imagine the fear of not being able to walk again and do everything you have wanted to in life. My second line I looked at was ' if I tell the world, it will never be enough'. From this I developed the idea that this person could be a dictator and they can tell the world everything and put on a brave face but what they are really going through isn't very nice and they are struggling. This shows how cruel life is even to the most powerful of people. I then moved on to one of the photos we viewed in the last lesson which was of the homeless person and there fighting for something they believe in but they never get it. My final idea was developed from the back story of song which was how Adele has an argument with her boyfriend in a club and then ran of and is about how she wasn't being chased or chasing anything so she was just Chasing pavements. From the idea of her running away from nothing I developed the idea that someone was being stalked and every time they look to see if someone is there but there is not.

Adele Adkins had an argument with her boyfriend in a London club.
Punches were thrown, drink spilt, and the singer legged it down Oxford Street. "It was six in the morning," she said. "There was no one chasing me, I wasn't chasing anyone. I was just running away." The 20-year-old realised she was in hot pursuit of nothing. "I remember saying to myself, 'What you're chasing is you're chasing an empty pavement.'" Back home, she wrote the song.
