Characterisation 7/02/2012

Creating a character through the lyrics of a song
Song choice: Thunder - Love walked in 


Lyrics:                                                                                           ------: Key Lines
So tired of waiting I walked an empty land
I was looking for something to help me understand
But bad luck kept turning my dreams into sand
I didn't want pity, I had my share of friends
I wanted somebody more special than the rest
I was aching inside like I was approaching the end
Just about that moment the timing was so right
You appeared like a vision sent down to my life
I thought I was dreaming when I saw you that night

That's when love walked in through my door
That familiar feeling I had once before
Love walked in through my door
And it felt so strange

It's hard to remember being on my own
That kind of loving makes a hard man lose control
But I sleep so much better now I'm not alone
So promise me baby you're always gonna stay
I don't think I could take it seeing you walk away
You don't need to doubt it, I remember that day

That's when love walked in through my door
That familiar feeling I had once before
love walked in through my door
And it felt so strange
Like a long lost friend that hadn't changed
Giving me hope again

Love walked in
Love walked in

Just about that moment the timing was so right
You appeared like a vision sent down to my life
I thought I was dreaming when I saw you that night


From these lyrics I have come up with these characteristics:

  • Full of Heartache 
  • Lonely
  • No Confidence 
  • Could be Clingy
  • Takes love very seriously 
  • Thinks the world of a certain Girl
From these Characteristics we created a short monologue from the first-person perspective:

For so long I have been a man longing for something extraordinary.  I have been searching for that one special thing everyone wants, so much that the agony has been tearing me up inside.
It’s insane how much your life can change within a few seconds.  I met a girl not so long ago, and call me crazy but I think she might be the one.  I know the feeling when I get it.
I now have everything I ever wanted but I am scared it won’t last.
