Lyrics A little girl once said to me you gotta live a little before your happy And if you take a lot you'll be left with none I had to learn a bit live a bit and let it all together a bit A little boy said in my head say how many hours has your day got left with the pressures of your day your run out with time - chorus: cant you cant you show me Ill be Ill be waiting to see wanna learn cant you open up the box of secrets take one out for me, ill show the number on my ticket and take one home with me show me show me what you got take it take it soak it up open up the box of secrets take one out for me A little girl once talked to me ohhh but then she flew away to qu-ik-ily i never have enough time to ask for the things i need gotta make my own mistakes from the lessons i must take why cant i know the answers straight away when we need a little guidance through the day The repetition of “wanna learn” shows the enthusiasm, and highlights the upbeat of the song. “wanna” is informal showing she is perhaps talking to a younger audience and using the idea of learning about life. The box is a reference and used as a simile to express her lyrics as she is talking about learning about life and life’s secrets are held in this box. “Ticket” is used almost as a game a winners game to show you can learn form life and peoples experiences. Zarif uses a little girl to show the little girl has perhaps more knowledge than her and you will succeed in life if your happy. Other people help with day to day life. The use of the word “Quickly” is interesting as she sings this slowly this could be a technique she uses to exaggerate her emotions. Learning is a part of life.

Analysis of Lyrics Zarif uses real life situations and uses fantasy to make her songs have a fun style element. Learning all about life and experiences A little girl knows better than her Secret to life Experiences will make you stronger Can someone guide her through life Learns from other people

Locations This picture shows the pier in the evening. We thought that this could be used for when Zarif and her friends are having fun. This is the hot air balloon which is in the town centre of Bournemouth which we thought could be used as an area for filming the sad parts. This picture shows the pier in a distance. You can see the ramp which again we thought could be used to show Zarif and her friends having fun running down the ramp. We thought that the stream could be used as a place where Zarif reminisces about her relationship with her ex. This is the same shot of the pier we might use as well but we thought that we would use it during the day when people are around. This shows the picture of the beach in its full glory, this could be used as another place for Zarif to reminces about her past.
