Chosen track, back up track and early video plans

The reason we choose this track is because it has a very good use of instruments, also the main female singer has a very strong voice which you can hear easily and clearly over the instruments, another benefit of this song is we though of a very good storyline to go along with the track which we could mix with shots of the band if they are able to make it. As the story of the is around a lone wander who is seeking a place to die peacefully and quietly, we decided to embrace this into our music video and have a lone wander travelling around and find his place of death, at the end of the music video we want to have a inter textual reference to life on Mars where the main character does not like the time he is in and decided to commit suicide by jumping off a parking lot.  
Lyrics to The Chief of Seattle - Across the sea
See it
Did you see it when you ran from the south to …
Hear it
Did you hear it when you hold that…
Cross the sea will find you there

Taken
To a world that's blessed with care
Hidden
Far away in a canyon stare
Cross the sea will find you there

Fell in love with the cold fresh air
Walked until the sky grew bear
Traveled our way to find you were already free
Didn't take much convincing to get you back across the sea
Traveled our way to find you were already free
Didn't take much convincing to get you back across the sea

Standing'
On a mountain where the white just grows
Seeing
No horizon just clouds and snow
Cross the sea will find you there

Fall in love with the cold fresh air
Walked until the sky grew bear
Traveled our way to find you were already free
Didn't take much convincing to get you back across the sea
Traveled our way to find you were already free
Didn't take much convincing to get you back across the sea

Woooooh ooh oooh
oooh oh oh oh
oooh oh oh ooh
oooh oh oh oh

Traveled our way to find you were already free
Didn't take much convincing to get you back across the sea
Travelled our way to find you were already free

Didn't take much convincing to get you back across the sea
Are Back up song is called Here by The Room
the reason we choose this song as our back up is because it has similarities to the first track as it has good instrumental sections but also has a very powerful female voice which is very easy to hear and understand over the top.

They say if you're still breathing
after a week of him leaving
the chances are you will move on 
but they say if you still see him
in your sleep, whilst your dreaming
the chances are we may be wrong
if your thinking you got it wrong
don't wait because i may still not be here
if your thinking of turning us around
don't wait because i may not be here 
let it sink in and tell me what you have found
but don't wait because i may not be here
then you said it then you did it and you told me that i would get it
I don't think I'm going to get it 
I don't think my brain will let it
I just need this pain away
I just hate the break of day 
I just need to tell you something
This is dead in the ground
If there is a new love that you've found
Call the captain I am down
too much love lust has been found
you are engraved in me now
and I've been trying to figure how
how will I still hear
what if I
what if I am always here 
are you still breathing
do you still see me when your sleeping 
don't wait because I may not be here
