LYRICS


I got my first real six-string
Bought it at the five-and-dime
Played 'til my fingers bled
It was summer of '69

Me and some guys from school
Had a band and we tried real hard
Jimmy quit and Jody got married
I shoulda known we'd never get far

Oh when I look back now
That summer seemed to last forever
And if I had the choice
Yeh - I'd always wanna be there
Those were the best days of my life

(CHORUS)

Ain't no use in complainin'
When you got a job to do
Spent my evenin's down at the drive in
And that's when I met you

Standin on a mama's porch
You told me that you'd wait forever
Oh and when you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life

(Chorus) Back in Summer of '69

Man we were killin' time
We were young and restless
We needed to unwind
I guess nothin' can last forever, forever, no

And now the times are changin'
Look at everything that's come and gone
Sometimes when I play that old six-string
I think about ya wonder what went wrong

Standin' on a mama's porch
You told me it would last forever
Oh the way you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life

(Chorus) Back in summer of '69

FILMING

We planned to filming on Wednesday 6th of June 2011 at school as it was one of the only times we could get everyone together, also we found the perfect place to shoot most of our band scenes. We researched weather and it said it was to be sunny on that day. However it didn't go exactly to plan, as the person we were borrowing the drums from decided that she needed them, so we had to re-schedule.

We have looked at many other places in our school, such as the dance studio and the gym to give us more options when filming.

We started filming in the summer holidays, we filmed on Tuesday 16th of August and Wednesday 17th of August.
The shots that were filmed were:
The drive-in
The pavilion
The car


During this time we also shot some cutaway and found some summery photo's that we were hoping to use in our music video.

Below is a few photographs of us filming:

This photograph below is of the pavillion where we filmed most of our footage:

The image below shows the 2 actors who are going to place the couple within our music video:

Below is a still image of inside Sian's car, we were filming out of the window for cutaway. We were thinking of speeding this footage up and making it brighter to make it seem happy and summery.
