Chris Cohen - If only you knew

We have found a artist that we like, his name is Chris Cohen he is unsigned. We have chosen the song if only you knew because of its high quality.
These are the lyrics...

When its you and me
And there’s no one else around
I know that you’ve been there for me
The feelings so profound

You feel like home
A place where I can go
I feel a burning fire for you
I feel it in my bones

If you only knew then you
might understand
oh, oh, oh
you might understand
oh, oh, oh
you might understand
oh, oh, oh

When I look in your eyes
Our first night comes to mind
And the way I held you close to me
On a cold dark winter night

Then you kissed me on the cheek
Just to say goodnight
when I first saw you baby
I had stars in my eyes

If you only knew then you
might understand
oh, oh, oh
you might understand
oh, oh, oh
you might understand
oh, oh, oh

Now I feel at home
My puzzles been complete
Its all because of you
If you only knew

Song and ideas for Music Video

We have chosen a song which is, for the moment, called Problem, Power and Purity. It is a Christ-focused song with a lot of reference to the power God can have in people. In the song, there are two characters; one male and one female. They both have problems at the beginning and, through Christ and the Cross, overcome their problems and end up in a better situation. They start off separately and then come together at the end.

What enigmas does your video create?

Our video, and song to some extent, asks the audience questions, as well as the audiences wanting to know things too.

Why are the characters upset/down?
Where do they fit into the story?
Are they two seperate people, or do they link in some way?
How are they becoming stronger?
What will keep the audience hooked and watching?

The audience will, no doubt, want to know whether the characters can overcome their problems, and therefore how they do. Why is the Cross a dominant symbol in a lot of the scenes? And also there is the question of whether the characters are related or not.

What conventions are you using/challenging?

We are using the convention of part narrative, part performance for our video because we believe that the music video should represent the artist's views of the song. We challenge the audience's perception of Christianity, religion and Faith by being quite controversial. Symbolism is also used with the Church and the Cross necklace.
