Research and Planning a Music Video

Choose your track:

The track that I have chosen is "Running home to you" by Grant Gustin, written for 03x17 "Duet" for the CW tv show "The Flash" by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul.



Analyzing your music video:

"Running home to you" was written for Flash / Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) to sing to his fiancee Iris West (Candice Patton) after being trapped in what he believed was a world where everything was a musical. He was in a comatose state and his friends tried to help brake him free. He sings this to her to let her know that no matter what has happened in the past, or what happens in their future together, he will always be by her side and support her. He has saved her from criminals/ "villains" trying to kill her many times, and to try stop he latest villain "Savitar" from fulfilling his promise to murder her, he becomes distant and is so focused on saving her he will do anything to do it. Because of this, "Running home to you" is also a sort of apology.

Although this song is not particularly long, there are two versions, one sung by Grant Gustin, and Another sung by Melissa Benoist (Supergirl) at the West-Allen marriage. If i were able/allowed to do so, I would consider merging them together to make a longer and possibly more interesting track.

The tempo of the song is quite slow and it is played in a minor key, which stereotypically would make the audience think it is a sad song, and although this song is emotional, there is a happy message behind it.

Examples of Grant Gustin Singing:





Grant Gustin's uniform is similar to the suit that Michael Jackson wears in the original music video, and the hat that Naya Ravira wears is also reminiscent with Michael Jackson's signature look.
