Our Track

The Track

'Talk Through The Night' is an upbeat and playful song from the indie-pop genre, released in 2012 by Dog Is Dead. The song conveys feelings of friendship and reminiscence towards youth. You can hear this through the lyrics and use of light and upbeat instruments used, such as vocals, electric guitar, bass guitar and a drum kit.

Dog Is Dead

The Band

The indie-pop band formed in 2008 and are from Nottingham. They consist of five male band members aged 20-30 and are signed with Atlantic Records. They have performed at many large UK festivals, like Bestival, Reading Festival, Leeds Festival, Latitude Festival and Isle of White Festival. The band members are known for their humour and playful personalities, which I think is reflected in their music.

The Song Shortlist

Before we decided on this track, we looked through all of our separate blog posts for 'suitable tracks for the single'. We agreed on four that we all liked (including the Dog Is Dead song), which are shown below:

'Always Like This' by Dan Croll

'Always Like This' by Bombay Bicycle Club





'Take It As It Comes' by J. Roddy Walston & The Business

These songs are all of the same genre and all sound fairly similar, which made it harder for us to choose. However, some of the songs such as the Dan Croll and Bombay Bicycle Club's songs conveyed a slightly different mood to what we wanted, as those songs were too calm and were not upbeat enough for ideas we had for the video.

We also had to take lyrics into account, so we looked at all of the lyrics and found that the J. Roddy Walston & The Business song didn't suit the mood we wanted well enough.

Permission and Copyright

We looked at the Soundcloud page for the band and the song and found that the song has a Creative Commons licence, which means that we can use their song for the purpose of our music video, as long as we give credit to the band.
