The prosess of finding our final artist....

For our project we have decided to use the song 'Tonight i let you go' by The Colours. We found this band by searching for artists on www.unsigned.com. We each came across various artists of different type of genres such as Amber Rubarth, we then after a discusion decided to use The colours because they are really funky and energetic and help us think of the type of audience we could attract to our music video. We mentioned it being suitable for teenagers into indie and pop. James then emailed them and asked for permission to use this single and they kindly agreed.

Here is a coppy of the email we sent:

Hello i am a student in year 13 from Robert Clack School. I am working on a media project to produce a music video for an unsigned song. I found your song 'tonight i let you go' and thought it would be perfect to use for me and my group. Could you please send me an mp3 version of the song and the lyrics if possible, reply as soon as you can please thank you for your time :)


Here is a copy of their reply:
Hi James,
Thanks for getting in touch.
We're glad you like the song.
I've attached an mp3 and the lyrics are below. Let me know fi you need anything else. Please don't upload to any websites before we approve the video but I look forward to seeing the results.

Here are the lyrics of their song:

Tonight I Let You Go
You're empty promises still filling up my mind while my love's away,
Temptation calls me to this.
And loveless fools believe, their guilty hearts still bleed,
but their cold and lifeless heartbeats wear them out.
Cos you're the heartbreak that I couldn't deal with
You're the mistake that no-one could save me from
I know I'm better off leaving now, you are the only reason I wanted more.
You know I wasn't on my own tonight - I just keep on running
You know I wasn't on my own tonight - Tonight I let you go
My insecurities playing on my mind, problems never change,
you should come back, come back, come back and hope for more, wo
A love that runs too deep, stolen moments we couldn't keep
You should go before the night time lets you down
Cos you're the heartbreak that I couldn't deal with
You're the mistake that no-one could save me from
I know I'm better off leaving now, you are the only reason I wanted more.
You know I wasn't on my own tonight - I just keep on running
You know I wasn't on my own tonight - Tonight I let you go
