My meme is about music, and more specially songtexts. When you hear music that’s not in your own language, you mishear a lot of the text.

My idea is to take a songtext,to write it down right and to change those words I missunderstood. My aim is to make an animation where letters are changing from right words to wrong words and my way to show this is destroying words.I will develop a design that actually relates to the missunderstooden text.Thats really funny,because these words I understand make no sense and the story behind this missunderstooden words is really absurd.

examples for destroying letters:

the original black song and my missunderstanding in blue:

Teardrop

LOVE IS DOING UNDERWEAR

SHAKES ME MAKES ME RIDER

FEEL LIKE IN THE SAUNA

OVER COME FISHING

TEADROP ON THE FIRE

BLACK FLOWERS POOR SUN

The vocalist on that Massive Attack track is Liz Fraser, the singer of the band Cocteau Twins. She is well known for singing indecipherable lyrics. On the web you can find people’s interpretations of her singing, because the official Cocteau Twins lyrics vere never published with the albums. Here is an example someone has made:

“Cocteau Twins: Lazy Calm

Try to look with us, my voice your candle ??? ???? glad to see you’re clumsy watcher? why your light gave me ….you told me all along ??? Try to look with us, my voice your candle … grieve (your own way???) ?? ??”

If you want to hear some Cocteu Twins music, I have lots of it.
