Show Me The Meaning of Being Lonely




Basically, each guy should have two outfits:

AJ
In Theatre: White wife-beater under red button-down shirt and black pants.
On rooftop: Black wife-beater and black pants and sunglasses like Will Smith's in "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

Show me the meaning of being lonely,

Quick rooftop shot of guys

Is the feeling I need to walk with

Shot of Brian's girl trying to decide

Tell me why I can't be there where you are

Another rooftop shot

There's something missing in my heart

Shot of AJ and the girl in the lobby

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

Howie is on the street, walking forward at a normal pace, but everything around him is soaring by at a really fast pace

How can it be you're asking me to feel
The things you never show

Rooftop shot of Brian and AJ singing

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.
Shots from the rooftop on the final line.
