Locations

I have decided to use some of the following locations in my music video:

1)The Beach Brent Cross

This is an amusement park/fun fair and I am planning to film a montage of my star trying some of the rides.

Initially, my plan was to use the carousel and get a few mid/ long shots of the activity.

2) The National Gallery

In the National Gallery, I am planning to take a few shots just to portray the star's prestigious life.

My pan was to get various shots of some paintings/ the elegant background that the gallery has.

3) Cereal Killer Cafe (Camden Town)

4) Hyde Park

5) Kew Gardens London

Song Lyrics and Annotations

Laugh track on a TV show echoes in the dark alone I go to bed feeling bad that I’m the reason that you’re sad January to December, do you wanna be a member? Lonely hearts club Do you want to be with somebody like me? Lonely hearts club Do you want to be with somebody like me? I feel like if I’m too kind then you will only change your mind Take advantage of my heart and I’ll go back into the dark Love will never be forever, feelings are just like the weather January to December, do you want to be a member? Lonely hearts club Do you want to be with somebody like me? Lonely hearts club Do you want to be with somebody like me? Somebody like me, somebody like me, somebody like me? Lonely hearts club Do you want to be with somebody like me? Lonely hearts club Do you want to be with somebody like me? Lonely hearts club Do you want to be with somebody like me? Do you want to be with somebody like me? Lonely hearts club Do you want to be with somebody like me?

this song is part of the Electra Heart album (the deluxe version ) so Marina obviously meant for this song to be relevant to Electra's life. Electra Heart is a persona, she is the antithesis of Marina and people in general for the most part. She's shallow, annoying, and lacks identity. Trying to compensate for having absolutely no personality whatever, Electra goes around "stealing" identities, ranging from a housewife to a beauty queen to a homewrecker to an idle teen. Now that you have an idea about who Electra is, it makes understanding this song and pretty much every song on the album much easier. Lonely Hearts Club is straight-forward: Electra Heart is in fact quite heart broken. She feels that no one wants to be with her (which in her case is actually probably with the way she acts). Because she's so alone, she wants people to unite with her to form a "Lonely Hearts Club", possibly even going so far as to trying to find love inside her new club since 'lonely hearts' gives off a sense of desperation; the members of the club are so alone or feel so alone that they will do anything to change that. My music video is going to portray this story in a very fun, joyful way in order to hide the true emotion of lonliness.
