The Song

Song Choice 

We listened to all the songs on the new album that Cara had just produced and have decided to use 

"You Were Supposed To Like Me"

This song has a fast paced beat which is provided by the quick lyrics and band, "The Rifts". 
The song runs for 03:08 minutes long.This is a perfect length for a music video. The meaning behind the song is simple and will help to portray a slight narrative for the music to follow.

The Lyrics

You Were Supposed To Like Me.

Verse:

C           G          D      Em         C             G                      D      Em

   Every day is a disappointment when it comes down to you,

C               G                   D      Em        C                G                       D   Em

    It seems like I’m your entertainment, like I was something to do.

Pre-chorus:

         C              G                               D             Em

And every nice guy you find messes it up somehow

       C                        G                          D                         Em

We got so close you let me go and I’m stuck wondering why

Chorus:

                            C   G             D                 Em

‘Cause I thought you were supposed to like me

            C  G         D            Em

‘Cause you were acting flirty

   C              G                                                      Bm            Em

I must have miss-read the signs, you’re kind of hard to understand

                C                    G                   Bm                   Em              

And I’m sorry I wasn’t right for you, that’s just who I am

        C                                             Bm                Em

And so you didn’t get with me but I am not that easy

        C   G      D   Em                 C

Still, you were supposed to like me.

Verse:

C        G           D       Em

  I saw you the other day,

C         G                          D     Em

  Acting like you were before,

C          G                D      Em

  You asked me if I was ok,

C              G                           D        Em

  ‘Cause I looked moody and bored

Pre chorus:

               C                       G                            D          Em

Well I’m pretty sure you got with a girl, who wasn’t me,

       C                  G                 D           Em

Yet I’m supposed to talk like I am happy about it.

Chorus:

                            C   G             D                 Em

‘Cause I thought you were supposed to like me

            C  G         D            Em

‘Cause you were acting flirty

   C              G                                                      Bm            Em

I must have miss-read the signs, you’re kind of hard to understand

                C                    G                   Bm                   Em              

And I’m sorry I wasn’t right for you, that’s just who I am

        C                                             Bm                Em

And so you didn’t get with me but I am not that easy

        C   G      D   Em                 C

Still, you were supposed to like me.

Coda: X2

C     G            D                  Em

You were supposed to like me,

         C     G       D Em

Yeah you were.

Chorus:

                            C   G             D                 Em

‘Cause I thought you were supposed to like me

            C  G         D            Em

‘Cause you were acting flirty

   C              G                                                      Bm            Em

I must have miss-read the signs, you’re kind of hard to understand

                C                    G                   Bm                   Em              

And I’m sorry I wasn’t right for you, that’s just who I am

        C                                             Bm                Em

And so you didn’t get with me but I am not that easy

        C   G      D   Em                 C

Still, you were supposed to like me.

Coda: X2

C     G            D                  Em

You were supposed to like me,

         C     G       D Em

Yeah you were.

C   G      D     Em               C

You were supposed to like me.

Possible song choices

Shine

This one of Cara's newest songs, it has a slower pace, we liked it but thought that "You were supposed to like me" had a faster pace and a better narrative structure. 

Mad

This song has a great narrative and we did have some good ideas based on War and Pain but the ideas started to get to complicated and we would have required a decent budget to create what we wanted,
