Info on Rarest Spun.

Rarest Spun, From Greater Manchester formed in April 2010. The band consits of Kev, Ste, Farrell, Cookie and Luc. They started messing about with some songs and thought it would be a good idea to form a band. 5 months later they released 3 tracks; No Rush to go home, I wasnt ready and What now Charlie Brown? Rarest Spun are a psychedelic indie-rock band who were inspired by the bands Smiths, Pixies and Radiohead.

The name for the band was inspired by the book 'A Clockwork Orange'

"It was like a bird of rarest-spun heaven metal or like silvery wine flowing in a spaceship, gravity all nonsense now. As I slooshied, I knew such lovely pictures!"

A Clockwork Orange was written in 1962 by Anthony Burgess. It was later filmed in 1971.

Lyrics
I always thought you'd stay
I always thought you'd be here
Now you're gone
Now you've gone
Away

There's nothing you can say
No-one left to tell me
Now you're gone
Now you've gone
Away

I never thought you'd go
I never thought you'd leave me
This time
This time
You're gone

I feel you next to me
Put your arms around me
But you're gone
But you've gone
Away

At the beginning I wasn't to sure if we should go with a performance video or not. Danny was against us doing a performance video. But to me it seemed the best way with this type of song and would fit the genre perfectly. Also the bands that have been influential on Rarest Spun use performance based videos. (Radio-head, The Smiths, The Pixies) After many hours of studying the lyrics and listening to to song closely i came up with the idea of having a performance video with a twist. The video will start off with the band playing. The camera pulls away from the band to a T.V screen and on this T.V screen the band are playing. As soon as the singer starts to sing the image changes to a couple. In each new verse the couple change locations and seem to be drifting apart. And in the last shot the girl is walking away from the boy.

Letter to band asking for permission.

To the members of rarestspun,
We have sampled your music and wish to create a music video as part of our media studies A level. The song we are interested in is "I Wasn't Ready". It would be a great help to us if you would allow us to use your music. The music video will be posted on you tube and on two seperat blogs. If it is not to much to ask, would you agree to send us the lyrics to this song if you agree to us using it?
Awaiting your reply.

Yours faithfully Danny Turner and Sara Disborough
