Evaluation: discarded song choices

My last two blog posts were the lyrics to two discarded song choices. The first choice is 'Hold Me Down' by Halsey. This song falls under the indie/electro genre and has a very distinct beat that would permit extremely sharp editing techniques. However, there isn't much possibility to create an interlink between the visuals and lyrics-Goodwin's theory- that isn't far too explicit. Furthermore, our aim is to deliver a message with our video and I don't feel like this song allows us to do so.

The second choice is 'Rotten Human' by Youth Lagoon. The lyrics to this song are extremely abstract and unique even without a video to accompany it. Not only would a narrative be close to impossible to create, there is a serious lack of material to generate a relationship between the visuals and lyrics. Furthermore, the beat of the song doesn't offer much inspiration towards slick editing techniques.
