Basically, each guy should have two outfits:

pants.

"Wild Wild West"
- Brian
- In garden: White t-shirt and white slacks
- On rooftop: Black button-down shirt, black sports jacket, and black slacks.
- Howie
- On street: Dark green button-down shirt and khaki pants
- On rooftop: Black sweater and black slacks
- Kevin
- In car: White button-down shirt, black tie, black pants, black trenchcoat
- On rooftop: Black slacks and black button-down shirt over black wife-beater
- Nick
- At funeral: Black shirt, tie, pants, sportscoat, and trenchcoat
- On rooftop:Black button-down shirt and black pants
Description of settings:
- Rooftop
- This would be like the scenes where the guys are just singing. It should be on top of some type
of sky-scraper and at night.
- Theatre
- This would be like an ornate old movie theater. There should be at least two characters other
than AJ in this scene, his old girlfriend and her new guy
- Garden
- This would be one of those huge gardens normally seen in artsy movies. There would be white lights
strung everywhere. Brian's girlfriend would be there and she's dressed completely in white.
- Street
- Howie for the most part is just walking. Later you see his girlfriend. It should be a fairly
busy street
- Car
- This should be like a really nice, classic Rolls Royce. Kevin has a letter from his girlfriend.
- Funeral
- Should have some bystanders. Normal funeral basically
On with the actual video...I'll put the words in italics so you know what's going on and when...
Show me the meaning of being lonely
Arial shots of the guys on the roof
So many words for the broken heart,
It's hard to see in a crimson love
So hard to breathe
Walk with me and maybe
Brian will be in the garden with his girl. When he says walk with me... he holds his hand out to her.
Nights of light so soon become
Wild and free, I could feel the sun
Your every wish will be done
They tell me...
AJ will be in the theater and he sees his ex. She looks up at him as he sings your every wish..". He then leaves the theater and she gets up to go after him

Tell me why I can't be there where you are
Another rooftop shot
There's something missing in my heart

Life goes on as it never ends,
Eyes of stone observe the trends.
They never say forever gaze, if only...
Kevin is sitting in the car and he's being filmed in black and white. He's holding a letter that should
say something like "I'm sorry I just can't take this anymore. On Eyes of stone... Kevin looks out
the window and the outside is in color.
Guilty roads to an endless love (an endless love)
There's no control
Are you with me now
Your every wish will be done
They tell me
Nick is putting a red rose on a coffin. On Are you with me... a girl who is obviously a ghost
approaches him from behind. She starts to reach out her hand to him and on They tell me...
she touches his shoulder and as she does a bringht light flashes the scene away.
Show me the meaning of being lonely
Is this the feeling I need to walk with
Tell me why I can't be there where you are
There's something missing in my heart
There are various roof shots of the guys, either single or group. Just good shots.
There's no where to run
I have no place to go
Surrender my heart, body, and soul

at a really fast pace
How can it be you're asking me to feel
The things you never show

During the instrumental part you see Howie reach his girl, and she turns around and slaps him and
leaves him dumbfounded on the street
You are missing in my heart
Tell me why can't I be there where you are
More rooftop shots
During the next chorus....
- Brian's girl turns away from him and runs into the darkness
- At Tell me why AJ see's his girl in the lobby, he shakes his head and turns and walks
out of the theater
The last chorus
- Kevin crumples up the letter and you can see a tear fall from his eye
- On I need to walk with Nick turns around and sees the ghost. He trys to touch her, but his
hand falls through and she disappears. He falls to the ground crying.
