Lyric Analysis

Junior Empire – Said and Done

 (VERSE #1)
I like what I’m used to, never giving that up

With one eye open and another one shut
Nobody chooses where they’re gonna end up

(CHORUS #1)

When all is said and done
Ooooooooooooooo 

(VERSE #2)
While the feeling is lucid I'll soak all of it up
The streets that I move in and the skin that I touch
Maybe I’m clueless but I love what I got
When all is said and done

(PRE-CHORUS #1)
All that we’re dreaming of
The foreign hills that we love
Will turn to dust in the sun

(CHORUS #2)
When all is said and done
Ooooooooooooooo (When all is said and done) X4

(VERSE #3)
I’ve been cruising with no bag in my hand
Leaving these rumours like a trail in the sand
A faded illusion but I know where I land
When all is said and done

(PRE-CHORUS #2)
All that we’re dreaming of
The foreign hills that we love
Will turn to dust in the sun

(CHORUS #3)
When all is said and done
Ooooooooooooooo (When all is said and done) X4

(OUTRO)
We can learn
We've been reckless
We can learn to love again
Learn to love again

Analysis

The song takes inspiration from the binary form structure however alters it, following a structure of verse, chorus, verse, pre-chorus, chorus, verse, pre-chorus and then the final chorus, followed by an outro.

The first line suggests a sense of individualism and self-confidence.

The pre-chorus is repeated twice

Unsigned Artist Research

• The artist has an Instagram account which he can be contacted on as well as a YouTube account, where he posts more material. We both have a mutual friend too so he can be contacted in that way too

Video Ideas:

• The video could be shot at a party where drinks are flowing, there is dancing occurring and everyone is having a good time
• The lighting would be quite muted with laser lights shining around the room
• There would be close-ups of everyone smiling and laughing as well as the artist (or if not possible, an actor) to lip-sync
• A video which this can take inspiration from is Zayn Malik's 'Still Got Time', however our video would be less explicit
