 Lyrics of song: 
Are we awake?
Am I too old to be this stoned?
Was it your breasts from the start?
They played a part
For goodness sake
I wasn't told you'd be this cold
Now it's my time to depart and I just had a change of heart
I'll quote on the road like a twat and wind my way out of the city
Finding a girl who is equally pretty won't be hard
Oh, I just had a change of heart
You smashed a glass into pieces
That's around the time I left
When you were coming across as clever
Then you lit the wrong end of a cigarette
You said I'm full of diseases
Your eyes were full of regret
And then you took a picture of your salad
And put it on the Internet
And she said, I've been so worried about you lately
You look shit and smell a bit
You're mad thinking you could ever save me
Not looking like that
You used to have a face straight out of a magazine
Now you just look like anyone
I just had a change of heart
I feel as though I was deceived
I never found love in the city
I just sat in self-pity and cried in the car
Oh, I just had a change of heart
Then she said, I've been so worried 'bout you lately
You were fit but you're losing it
You played a part, this is how it starts
Oh I just had a change of heart
Bom bom bom, bom bom bom
I just had a change of heart
I just had a change of heart
I just had a change of heart
I just had a change of heart
I just had a change of heart
I just had a change of heart
I just had a change of heart
I just had a change of heart




Mackillon argues something slightly difference, ‘Males are now shown as sexual objects of desire who are more concerned with image,’ (Mackillon, 2002).

I just sat in self-pity and cried in the car
Oh, I just had a change of heart
Stanley Hall argues youths are; ‘depressed’ and are likely to seek excitement through; crime, sex, drink/drugs,’ (Hall, 1904).

When you were coming across as clever
Then you lit the wrong end of a cigarette


 Dick Hebdige (1988) argued youths are stereotyped as mixed metaphors of; “Youth as fun,” and “Youth as trouble maker.”
Are we awake?
Am I too old to be this stoned?
Richard Butsch (1992) who says working class males in the media are presented as; "Incompetent and ineffectual, often a buffoon, well-intentioned but dumb. In almost all working-class series, the male is flawed, some more than others..
I'll quote on the road like a twat and wind my way out of the city
Finding a girl who is equally pretty won't be hard


Diegetic and Non-Diegetic sound

The diegetic sound used in this is the voice of the singer. His voice is slow and soothing, this attracts the target audience because it makes them feels relaxed.

The Non-Diegetic sound used in this is background orchestra music (violins, bass, drums, and keyboard). The orchestra is slow, like his voice and sounds nice. This attracts the target audience because the orchestra is in time with his voice, making the song feel very relaxing.
