Goodwin’s theory
Buckcherry – Highwaystar
Within this video, there is a definite sign
of combination between the video itself and the lyrics. ‘Highwaystar’ the
lyrics describes the journey upon one end to another, whilst exploring the love
that they have for ‘off-roading’
The video has a great relationship with the
song, with the Nascar cars going around the track, this gives a great emphasis of
racing upon the whole video itself.
The background music from the cars such as
the engines igniting from one end to another ‘wow’s the audience as it gives a
deeper and more thrill to the whole video.
The music itself has a constant upbeat
tempo, there is a hard on strum as the electric guitars are being hammered on
to give that full effect of being powerful, which initially has the ideal bond
with the Car itself (as the Nascar’ cars resembles something like of a bulldozer).
Other visuals scenes you will see is the
appearance of the band, at any moment there is a high pitch speech that he
would need to sing
The guitar solo which is immensely filled
with the fast paced strumming as the high pitch screech relates itself to the
visualization of the car skidding around the track leaving tyre marks around.
This is a powerful technique between rock music and the dominant vehicles as
the guitar itself can imitate the noise of the car. The drums also have an permanent effect on
the whole video as it has a consistent upbeat.
“Nobody
gonna take my car, I'm gonna race it to the ground, Nobody gonna beat my car
It's gonna break the speed of sound”
It's gonna break the speed of sound”
The lyrics within describes the thrill of
racing, as heard within the video, background noises from the cars with the
‘Vroom’ upon one car to another is a great use of external onomatopoeia.
Enlightening the audience at one end to another.
The genre characteristics of this video
introduces extreme sporting, Nascar, one of the worlds most major sport
especially in America is the perfect sport that fits in with this initial song.
The Collaboration between both is as perfect as it gets.
