Song choice connotations themes and ideas behind the song

[Chorus]
Once in love
Strong
Now it's long, long gone
Because the pain, pain, pain
I remain all alone
Because I want you [Repeat: x2]

I been thinking bout
I been thinking bout
I been thinking bout you lately

Thoughts take me to when we were close
Addicted 2 your love, feel I need another dose
I know it's a feeling
That should be long gone

Things seem to come up
When I hear our song
Golden brown girl, it seem so long
Since I heard your voice
Where did the king go wrong?

Emotions that that they linger on
I guess cause I never knew a love so strong
So many hot girls
I need your warm
The taste of your mouth
Girl I need your warm

Good food and love
I need your warm
This here was made before we were born
A dreamer, so I'm a keep dreaming on
It's kinda like the breakup of Jen and Vince Vaughn

[Chorus]

They say you don't know know know 
What you got
Till what u got is gone
Yeah I write such and such yo a lot 
But the feelings not as strong
We were like two birds

That were able to fly
I try to pick the right words to say to the sky
Someday's I would try but wasn't able to cry
I never been good at saying goodbye

I take a deep breath when the times is hard
When I reminisce over u, my god
I spent many years trying to be the heartthrob
I guess it's only right that I got my heart robbed

The scent of a room that reminds me of you
A hint of perfume it remind me of you
Take a look at the moon it remind me of you
Hope the stars and the gods 
Align me and you

[Chorus]

The general theme behind the song is very simple to depict, the artist common is telling the audience a love story about a previous relationship he was in and that he wants her back he is holding onto the past relationship he just had, whilst he is in a new relationship with another women; the music video contains several emotions such as love, deception, lust and pain. 

These emotions are depicted upon through various aspects of the music video  what i will show you now are some stills from the music video.

This is the current girlfriend searching through the main artist cupboards as she generally feel suspicious and a little bit insecure 

this is the scene where the current girlfriend of the Artist finds a tape after rummaging through his draws and finds a tape.

this is the current girlfriend finding a tape of the artist common cheating on her with his ex although this is unclear as to weather this footage was taken whilst they were together or if this happened when he was supposed to be in a new relationship, her reaction give the impression that this affair happened whilst the artist common was in his new relation ship with the women in the video still.

this unclear message is something that i would improve in the music video and this informs me hat i must make the narrative structure of the video very clear.

The message and connotations are so clear in this video they an be misconstrued as denotations the colours are dark with hint of red to connote love, the music video is cut on beat in order to match the song and a variety of camera angles are used such as extreme close ups for intimate moments between the main artist and both women in the video.
