Chosen Song and profile of our artist

He started out covering songs by people like Bruno Mars, Daniel Merriweather and Adele which has gained over 250,000 views , before he released his first single "Where I Go" in 2009. He is popular because of his covers that he has done and has made a name of himself by performing well known songs.

Nick released his second single "Out Of The Clouds" in September 2010 which was the 60th Most Viewed Video for Musicians on YouTube. This is is the song that we have chosen to do for our digipack and music video. We will create an image for our artist and make a narrative for the video based on the lyrics. We chose the song because (in our opinion) it sounds good and would be a good song to make a music video for.

Here are the lyrics for our chosen song:-

[Verse 1]
Take this book from me and trace over my lines
Dark the view of the ghost on the road and cover my eyes
Heed advice that you got - stop - walk slow and keep to the sides
Keep all that in your head, use it well and see it it applies.

[Chorus]
But it hurts when it hurts and without you it's worse,
I can bring my head much further from out the clouds.
But it hurts when it hurts and without you it's worse,
I can bring my head much further from out the clouds.

[Verse 2]
Light that smoke with a flame and the sailor will die
And the tides they'll roll back and the ocean waters'll dry
There's a fear of the beast and the fear that it'll get worse
But it won't get worse, I know, it won't get worse.

[Chorus]
But it hurts when it hurts and without you it's worse,
I can bring my head much further from out the clouds.
But it hurts when it hurts and without you it's worse,
I can bring my head much further from out the clouds.


[Middle 8]
And I can see you kneeling on the floor and I can hear you testify
And this bitter pill I swallow makes it so damn hard for me to even try.
And I can see you kneeling on the floor and I can hear you testify
And this bitter pill I swallow makes it so damn hard for me to even try.

[Chorus]

I said wait, that's not me, just stay and you'll see,
I can bring my head much further from out of the clouds.
