CD cover ideas

CD Cover

Along with our one-minute music video task, we have also been set the task of designing a CD cover for our 'single'. For this task, I have been trying to analyse the lyrics to 'Popscene' and from there, try and visualise a CD cover that would be appropriate to the song's content. Blur itself is a band who, at the time of Popscene's release, were primarily releasing singles that fit with the 'baggy' and 'britpop' scene, along with bands such as The Stone Roses and Happy Mondays. Initially, the reception of Popscene was not successful, as it was a single that fit more within the genre of punk and grunge, for which, the band Nirvana took the main spotlight at the time. The song allegedly illustrates frontman Damon Albarn's distate for the music business, believing that there are 'too many indie bands'.  The lyrics are as follows:

Popscene

A fervored image of another world
Is nothing in particular now
An imitation comes naturally
But I never really stop to think how

And everyone is a clever clone
A chrome colored clone am I
So in the absence of a way of life
Just repeat this again and again and again

Hey, hey, come out tonight
Hey, hey, come out tonight, popscene, all right

I'm leaving town to run away
Run into your twisted arms
No queues and there's no panic there
Just dangling your feet in the grass

My lack of natural luster now
Seems to be losing me friends
So in the absence of a way of life
Just repeat this again and again and again

Hey, hey, come out tonight
Hey, hey, come out tonight, popscene.
