Meaning of Magdalena

Magdalena is a location in Mexico. The song "Magdalena" by Brandon Flower is about a apology, self-punishment of walking a long road. The pounding drums gives off a hopeful sounds and distant echoes that shows of joy in seeing the long journey is coming to an end, the hope that the prayers have carried with them on that journey they're prayers will be answered. "be delivered from the depths of darkness and be born again by candlelight" indicates that they have escaped from the shadows and now they can be reborn and start fresh.
There had been a documentary, journey from Nogales, Mexico to Madalena, Sonora, Mexico. The artist Brandon Flower himself must have been on this journey, the soul of his voice can carries the pain of a thousands tears and the character of blood-stained, muddy feet to his audience.



If there are any illegal immigrants involved, it's those who cross from America back to Mexico. As one who made the journey recalls: "All of us walked with a promise or to ask a miracle to be granted once the walk was complete and a kiss planted on the head of the statue of San Francisco in the church at Magdalena."

Is Brandon Flowers' "Magdalena" encouraging the deaths of Immigrants, giving them false hope as they cross through the desert or drive over the boarder? In a way, I hope "Magdalena" does. I hope that in every mile of that march, pilgrims are bathed anew and as the sun rips their skin and the road tears their feat, that the old man they leave behind will never be picked up again. I hope it encourages us all to drop our old man even if we are thousands of miles away, and that "we'll dance and the band will play" and that we'll "be delivered from the depths of darkness" as we "runneth over the ancient clay" and know that we are clean.
As much as it is about taking the harsh Nogales to Magdalena journey, it's just as much about crossing the border between earth and Heaven. I hope we all make the journey, even if we must become a "two-time beggar" to get there.

Lyrics


I'm holding on your rope,
Got me ten feet off the ground
I'm hearin what you say but I just can't make a sound

You tell me that you need me
Then you go and cut me down, but wait
You tell me that you're sorry
Didn't think I'd turn around, and say...

That it's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late
To late, oh

I'd take another chance, take a fall
Take a shot for you
And I need you like a heart needs a beat
But it's nothin new, yeah yeah

I loved you with a fire red-
Now it's turning blue,
and you say... "Sorry" like the angel
Heaven let me think was you
But I'm afraid...

It's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late, whoa whoa

It's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late

I said it's too late to apologize, yeah to late
I said it's too late to apologize, yeah to late

I'm holdin on your rope
Got me ten feet off the ground...

Hellogoodbye - Here In Your Arms



The music video is produced by Drive-Thru Records in 2006. The genre of this music video is Electronic-pop aka "Electropop".

Electropop songs are pop songs at heart, often with simple, catchy hooks and dance beats, but differing from those of electronic dance music genres which electropop helped to inspire, techno, house, electroclash, etc. in that songwriting is emphasized over simple dance ability.
The term "Electropop" was used primarily during the 1980s to describe a form of synthpop characterized by an emphasized electronic sound, often described as cold and robotic, and by minimal arrangements. This was mainly due to the limitations of the analog synthesizers and recording techniques used at the time, but has since become a stylistic choice. Electropop laid the groundwork for a mass market in chart-oriented synthpop.
Electropop is also known as technopop that's a form of electronic music that is make with synthesizers and which first flourished from 1978 to 1983. The genre has seen revival of popularity and influence since the late 2000s.

The current wave of electropop artists such as American singer Katy Perry had a huge hit with "Hot n Cold" which had an electropop flavour. The media saw a rise of popularity of female electropop artists. In 2009 ten of the top fifteen artists named were of the electropop genre. Music writer Simon Reynolds noted that "Everything about Gaga come from electroclash, expect the music, which wasn't particularly 1980s".
Other female electropop artists such as Elly Jackson of La Roux, Ellie Goulding, and Little Boots.
Male acts: Owl City, who had a number 1 US single.

"Here (In Your Arms)" released in 2006, the song was certified platinum in the US and remains the band's most successful song to date.

The video was set at Camp Holadios, "Holadios" means "Hellogoodbye" in Spanish, a fictional summer camp. While the band members are all staying there, Forrest becomes interested in a girl who was also at camp. The music video has a very interesting aesthetic, as campers play with pogs. At the end of the video, the sign states "Summer of '91". The video also reminiscent of the film Wet Hot American Summer. One of the references to this movie was when Forrest puts on the headband and sunglasses similar to the change that "Coop" undergoes to win the affection of a girl with the same name, "Katie".

The theme of this video is a stereo typically America based teen life style which audience may have seen in American film . Films such as Mean Girls, American Pie series, Euro Trip, Super bad, Easy A, 10 Things I Hate About You and Freaky Friday. The music video reminds me of American Pie:Band Camp. As there are elements on the film and the music video which are very similar. For example both locations are set in a Summer Camp. The lead singer and main actor for this music video is "Forrest Kline" shown at the beginning of the clip, as he's getting ready changed. "Forrest Kline" was a "geek", "nerd", in this video. That appearance of the actor shows this. That was the shoes he was wearing, the way he ties his shoe lace and the way he wipes h
glasses and the shape of his glasses. Audience automatically knows that there's going to be some event later on, as well as this is going to be a "love" music video as shown at 0:20 a picture of a girl. This connotes the girl of his dreams, who was also a childhood friend as the girl in the photograph was in her early adolescent years. The next shot shows a leaflet, in bold capital font it says "THE END OF CAMP DANCE IS 2NITE" this shows that there is going to be party tonight and it may be the last for the main actor to get chance to kiss/interact with the girls of his dreams.

Some form of gamble was shown in the video, at 0:26 a male actor with bleach blonde hair, goes to a guy hat on and feet up, connotes a underground mafia or similar to a shark loan. The cinematography gives this impression off to the audience by the shot of the luggage/suitcase lock opening one by one, whist the next shot was the actor with hat on with a the luggage taken half of the frame and only just able to see the smirk of the actor and the rest of his face. He actor then picks up his notebook and writes down the name and amount of money taken by the male actor with bleach blonde hair. The story continue from 0:45 where the bleach blonde male actor was gambling with another actor, who was in a black t-shirt. This made the actor stand out compare to the rest. As the rest are in yellow, the camp t-shirt. Blonde hair actor wants to beat/win the other actor as he is being watch by other and be doesn't want to lost face. The actor is black is one of the members of "Hellogoodbye". At 0:58 the blonde hair actor facial expression shows that he is really upset, in pain emotionally as he was expecting to win back all his chips where as now he is in debt. Whist the actor in black collects the chips in slow motion purposely to irritate the other actor.

At 0:34 shows a male actor chatting up to red head female actor. The male actor on scene is the "popular guy", what shows this is the way he's shirt is as the shirt is sleeveless allowing him to reveal his biceps, the height of the actor and his body form (athlete). The headband also shows a form of popularity. As they are about to kiss, he got interrupted/attacked by a camper.

From 0:43 there are male campers who are filling their mouth with bubble gum, to keep their breathe fresh as they are presuming/expecting to be kissing girls at the party tonight.

From 0:49 shows the lead singer of "Hellogoodbye" dancing in the dark outdoors, the mise-en-snce shows this is the green surrounding within the frame. Forrest Kline is dancing hysterically. The story of the video is during daytime however this scene is in night time. This shows a different time scale. After watching the whole music video, the scene/location all together happens after the party, as he lose control after kissing the girl of his dreams. Another element that gives off this impression is the sunglasses he has with him, as he came in contact with the sunglasses at the party and not beforehand as they are not his possession.

At 1:02 there is a video transition of a wipe of a clock in the direction of clockwise. This shows the time lapse, fast forward or "it is time". As everyone heads of to the destination, where the event is placed. It is obvious who the members of "Hellogoodbye" are as they are wearing obvious clothing that stand out to the rest of the crowd. Only the members of "Hellogoodbye" are in their own clothes and the rest of the crowd/actors are in the camp uniform (yellow shirt and green shorts). After the video transition clock the video has 2 cuts within that scene, this is used to empathise the beats of music. The same editting of stuter cuts have been used before in the video from 0:40 to 0:42. There is a scene where there are duckling heading to the event. Shows that it is a event that can not be missed.

At 1:10 there are a crowd of girls walking/running towards the camera and out the frame, running away from something once they're all out of the centre of the frame, reveals 3 muscular black men. The crowd of girls run toward one of the band members of "Hellogoodbye", the member's appearance looks like John Travolta when he was starring in "Grease". The black man on the left was holding something blue in his hands. The next shot shows the band member talking to some girls. The blue item then ended up in the centre man's hand, then he through something blue to the member. That looked like a jacket or towel. In the next show reveals the item thrown to the member appearing red. I do not get why the colour changed. It may be a continuity editing error or either on purpose. The red cloth/clothing can mean a warning sign, for example not swim in the sea is a red flag is on display. Red flag also means something demanding attention or provoke an irritated reaction . For example waving a red cloth/flag at a bull.
Later on, in the video the band member is wearing all red sportswear, looking like a gangster. The band member was giving each other friendly hug to one of the black man. Shows that they've become friends.

From 1:17 is when the climate begins, as Forrest finally meets the girl of his dreams, he sees people surround him making out, who are they guys are also not the "popular kids", Forrest then builds up his courage and take item's off others (popular icon, of what all the "popular kids" wear e.g. the headband and retro sunglasses). Forrest's friends back his up by giving Forrest a shoulder massage, this is an expression of encouragement as it is what team/friends do to a boxer/fighter before the a match. What suggests this idea is the facial expression Forrest gives off to his audience, taking a deep breathe and slapping himself to wake himself up.
Forrest then goes up to the girl of his dreams and offer her gum, ideologically when a person accept gum from another it shows that they're going to make out.

There are flashbacks of a scene from the beginning of the music video of when Forrest looks at the picture of his childhood friend (girl of his dreams) the beat of the music and the flashback and forward matches with each other to create tension and to empathises the beat of the music to their audience. This also connotes the beat and speed of Forrest's heartbeat. When its the time of the moment, the beat of the music pauses the emotions delivered to the audience is nervousness, when Forrest looks round/over his shoulder, he gives off a nervous laughter. The lyrics of this scene are "Our lips can touch. Our lips can touch, Here." the speed and level of music is slow, soft and gentle. A clip of Forrest is shown of him winking and then the next clip shown is Forrest and the girl of his dreams making out . This shows that he's finally kiss the girl of his dreams, to express his emotions the camera work is a dolly shot. The camera circulates round Forrest and the girl as though Forrest feels like he's in heaven. No lyrics are sung at the moment in time, all the urge of emotions and feelings to be delivered to the audiences.

From 2:34, shows performance as the audience see the Hellogoodbye band altogether. As well as a mixtures of other clips showing other couples making out, the guys who were ment to be having a fight makes up, cuts back to the dolly shot of Forrest making out with the girl, still no lyrics sung. Then sudden cut to performance of Forrest as lead vocals singing "You are the one, the one. Who lies close to me..." Along with other clips of the band on their instruments. The shots afterwards that are shown are majority performance the camera shows the audiences, the band on stage along with other cast of "audience/viewers/fans (wearing the camp uniform)" The Hellogoodbye plays two roles in the music video, as students staying at the summer camp and as a hired band to play at the "END OF CAMP DANCE". What connotes this in the music video is at 2:59 shows a student (wearing a camp uniform) thats staying at the camp in shallow depth of field, whilst the negative space shows the "fans/students" and Forrest as "hired band".
Shot reverse shots of the "hired band" and students of the same people i.e. Hellogoodbye members, makes the audience feel as though there's a double of the person. 7

The video ends with applause, from casts within the video. The applause is for Forrest as actor as well as Forrest as "lead singer from hired band", saying a job well done. The clip then cuts to a crane shot of the camp to the entry board that was shown at the beginning of the music video. Thats says " Camp Holadios Summer of '91", this gives of a message that "what happens at camp stays/end at camp".

This music video is mainly narrative with performance at the end of the video. The narrative of this video is love, set out like a stereo typically American based teen life style. The antagonist is Forrest Kline and the protagonist is the "end of camp dance" as its what disrupted the equilibrium. As the music video is base round the affects of the camp dance. Once the "end of camp dance" have ended it has been re-equilibrium.

The representation for this music video is that "you can succeed anything as long as you have the courage to do so" as in the music video is shows that a "geek" can make out with a "popular". This breaking the norms of what would normally not have been acceptable in a typical America teen lifestyle.

Audience are people who are fans of eletropop music and into pop culture. People who like music with a good beat and a narrative plot. From the age range of "11 - 35".

Lyrics

I like,
Where we are,
When we drive,
In your car.
I like,
Where we are,
Here.

Cause our lips,
Can touch.
And our cheeks,
Can brush.
Our lips can touch,
Here.

Where you are the one, the one,
That lies close to me.
Whispers, "Hello,
I've missed you quite terribly."
I fell in love, in love,
With you suddenly.
Now there's no place else,
I could be, but,
Here in your arms.

I like,
Where you sleep,
When you sleep,
Next to me.
I like,
Where you sleep,
Here.

Our lips,
Can touch.
And our cheeks,
Can brush.
Cause our lips can touch,
Here.

Where you are the one, the one,
That lies close to me.
Whispers, "Hello,
I've missed you quite terribly."
I fell in love, in love,
With you suddenly.
Now there's no place else,
I could be, but,
Here in your arms.

Our lips can touch.
Our lips can touch,
Here.

You are the one, the one,
That lies close to me.
Whispers, "Hello,
I've missed you quite terribly."
I fell in love, in love,
With you suddenly.
Now there's no place else,
I could be, but,
Here in your...

You are the one, the one,

Whispers, "Hello,
I've missed you quite, miss you quite..."
I fell in love, in love,
With you suddenly.
Now theres no place else,
I could be, but,
Here in your arms.

Here in your arms.
Oh, here in your... arms.

Britney Spears Ft. Madonna - Me Against The Music





This music video is produced by Sony/BMG in 2003. The genre of this music video is Dance-pop.

Dance-pop is complete with pounding, upbeats and catchy melodies, the songs of this music are fully formed and influenced by pop song structure than just pure dance music. Dance-pop songs are often primarily created by record producers, who then select a singer to perform the song.

A remarkable dad-pop team in the 1980s and 1990s were Stock, Akitken and Waterman aka SAW (were a UK songwriting and record producing trio). They had great success during the mid to late 1980s and early 1990s. The three are considered to be one of the most successful songwriting and producing partnerships of all time, scoring more than 100 UK top 40 hits, selling 40 million records and earning an estimated £60 million about ($103.78 million). SAW who sculpted polished Hi-NRG (High-Energy is a genre of electronic dance music) productions for the likes of Kylie Minogue, Rick Astley and Banananrama. Other commercially successful dance-pop musicians include, Madonna, Janet Jackson, Spice Girls, Britney Spears, Christian Aguilera, and more recently Katy Perry, Lady Gaga and Ke$ha.

The theme for this music video is a competition, the mise-en-scene shows this by the costume the main actors are wearing as Britney Spears is wearing black clothing, whereas Madonna is wearing white. These are high contrast tones which are the complete opposite. Britney Spears' costume reminiscent Michael Jackson, however a more provocative version. Michael Jackson is the King of Pop with his dance moves. There is a scene in this music video which reminiscent the music video Thriller by Michael Jackson. With similar style of dance and where the actors/dancers are positioned. The shot for this is a long shot and medium long shot. (Me Against the music: 0:52-1:06 , Thriller: 8:32-9:28)[Michael Jackson-Thriller: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_MuUcxHATo] In the video there are elements of advertising for some company's products as well as their own e.g. the beginning of the clip at [0:06] the Mazda car, the soda drink with Britney's face on the lid with her name [0:35], the samsung phone [0:49]. These shots and close ups, in order for these products to be recognisable they have shown on the video for approx 1 sec each. Which is long enough for a human eye to remember an icon.

From 1:27 into the music video Britney Spears and Madonna have a dance off with a wall divided between them, they have not been in contact with each other. This is a medium long shot. "[B&M:] So how would you like a friendly competition [B&M:] Let's take on the song [B&M:] It's you and me baby, we're the music [B&M:] Time to party all night long" Madonna checks her pocket watch, this shows that she's need to be some where or she's out of time and that she needs to get going. After the dance off, Madonna fleas and Britney follows, Britney is trying to find to Madonna. Located in a high stair case made out of wood, which is like a maze. It seems as though Madonna doesn't actually exists and is just a spirit/imagination. i.e. Madonna is the music and Britney Spears is having a competition "against the music". The sound is in beat with the cinematography, creating a tension and mood. The music video have the influence to make the audiences feel like they want to dance.

From 2:09 Madonna drops her stick leaving misleading trace for Britney to follow. Britney then appears at a graffiti dark room, where her clothing's are fluorescence. Whereas Madonna appears at a new location in a worn down bright room with a tree/branch with Autumn leaves falling off, leaves on the floor and a wooded swing. This shows that Britney is dancing with others showing off her moves, and getting more and more heated up/competitive where as the location that Madonna is in the leaves represents autumn by the colour of the leaves. Autumn connotes decay. Represents that Madonna is going to end, disappear soon. Madonna kneels on the floor and throw leaves up in the air, this suggests depression, she puts her hand on her hair and looks down. It seem as thought she know what's going to happen i.e. that she's going to disappear soon.

From 2:26 the music video goes to a new location, the shot includes a vintage, old, worn down bed rack from the 1900s. The room is dark, the walls are a dirty beige colour. Madonna is already in the room, stood up straight with her arms crossed, this suggest that Madonna is showing no weakness, acting Strong, it may also suggest that she's impatience as she may have waited a long time. Britney enters the room, the camera have only got the back of her from above waist to knee upwards. The audience know that it's Britney Spears by the clothing that she's wearing. As Britney Spears have been wearing the colour black and leather hand warmers. From a point of view it seem like a wife waiting for husband to come home. This is the first time the music video where Britney Spears and Madonna have their first face to face contact. The two characters have a dance off on the bed rack. Doing prerogative dance movements.

Soon later Madonna disappears in thin and appears in a new location. Britney Spears carries on with her dance with other actors/dancers getting more competitive as she sees Madonna. Madonna is stood on a table, there are 2 males actors in suits and smoking. It seem as though they're in a meeting and the both of them can not see Madonna. Everyone at the club is dancing and "losing control" of their body and their bodies are just reacting to the beat of the music. Britney continues her hunt. The two main characters now run and not walk through the maze. The pace of the music get fasting and faster so does the cinematography, to create the tension. This also emphasis that Madonna is running out of time and Britney wants to find Madonna as soon as possible as she can not hold her needs in any much longer. Finally Britney found Madonna and see her with another men so Britney throws Madonna on the wall, and Britney hovering over Madonna, this is not just intimidating but also sexual. Moment when Britney tries to kiss Madonna, she evaporates.

This music video was narrative and performance. The narrative for this music video is a competition, where Britney Spears is the Protagonist and Madonna is the Antagonist who represents “music”, whom Britney is competing against. The disruption begins when the music starts in the video, when the first contact with the Protagonist and antagonist is when Madonna is on the screen, this is when the quest begins when the antagonist provokes the protagonist into a duel by saying “come on ho! Hey Britney”, and the protagonist replies with “are you ready?” back talking to the antagonist, this shows competitive vocabulary. The climate begins when the characters have a dance off with a wall between them, the protagonist aims to find the antagonist, the protagonist follows the antagonist's trace the music gets faster and faster with more beats creating tension for the chase. The video ends with the beat getting soften with a sound of laughter coming from the Antagonist.

The good guys (protagonist) are normally in white and the bad guys (antagonist) are normally in black. This music video is ironic as its the other way round.

The representation, good versus evil and the good always win. The music video also gives of an idea to the audience of the decade in the 1990 of sexuality orientation that it is sociably acceptable .

Audience are fans of Britney Spears and Madonna, of a wide age range as Madonna have loyalty fans since she was in the early 20s till the video of the time in her 50s. Her audiences would be in the age range of 16-60. As fot Britney Spears she's a pop icon in the 1990s from her teen years. Her audiences would be in the age range of 11-26.
