Lighthouse Family – I wish

The lighthouse family’s song “I Wish” is a very easy song to listen to. The genre is like a soulful pop type of song. It is very relaxing and easy to listen to.

The Narrative of this song is a non linear song as it has a clear start, middle and an ending. At the beginning of the song its start of feeling like a depressing, down type of song, and the video shows this by the dark grey lighting used within the scene. Everyone’s faces are looking down with a depressed look on there face. The middle has the main character in the song walking along looking through everyone’s thought and problems. You can see this through the flash backs of each person on the train it has an overlay over the image of the person, which is show there problem. Then finally the ending has the train get up and walk off towards the stairs, as there walking up the stairs the top part of the stair is glowing showing that all there problems are solved.

The music video seems to be aimed at 30+ as there isn’t anything in the videos to temp under 30 to want to listen and watch it such as sex appeal or bright flashing lights. They are also a 90’s group with a mellow pace through the song.

Such music shows/radios which may show these types of music video are Smooth and magic as these are the type of places which show slow mellow songs.

The representation of the main character shows him as being a normal person, as he is wear very normal close. The thing which makes them different is that he is wearing a hat. This makes to be the centre of the video making him important but with out making him seem better then everyone else. There is also a girl walking through the train, she isn’t a very pretty girl nor dressed different then everyone else therefore making her blend in to everyone else. But at the end she glows and stand out from everyone else, this maybe show a religious theme put in to the music video as she could be seen as an angel.
