Counting Crows - Accidentally in Love

This is the music video/ song that we decided to do for our coursework, unless our audience disagree with our chosen song.

We chose this song because it was short, so this would be easier for us since there are only two of us, and also because we had lots of ideas for making our remake of this song as the lyrics are very inspiring and descriptive.

Here are the lyrics of the song:

So she said "What's the problem baby?"
What's the problem? I don't know
Well, maybe I'm in love ( love )
I think about it every time
I think about it
Can't stop thinking 'bout it

How much longer will it take to cure this?
Just to cure it cause I can't ignore it
If it's love ( love )
Makes me wanna turn around and face me
But I don't know nothing 'bout love

Come on, come on
Turn a little faster
Come on, come on
The world will follow after
Come on, come on
Cause everybody's after looooveeeeee.

So I said "I'm a snowball running
Running down into the spring that's coming"
All this love
melting under blue skies
Belting out sunlight
Shimmering love

Well, baby, I surrender
To the strawberry ice cream
Never ever ender
All this love
Well I didn't mean to do it
But there's no escaping your love

These lines of lightning
Mean we're never alone,
Never alone, no, no

Come on, Come on
Move a little closer
Come on, Come on
I want to hear you whisper
Come on, Come on
Settle down inside my love

Come on, come on
Jump a little higher
Come on, come on
If you feel a little lighter
Come on, come on
We were once upon a time in love

We're accidentally in love
Accidentally in love…

I'm In Love, I'm in Love,
I'm in Love, I'm in Love,
I'm in Love, I'm in Love,
Accidentally…

Come on, come on
Spin a little tighter
Come on, come on
And the world's a little brighter
Come on, come on
Just get yourself inside her

Love!...I'm in love!

This was written for the Shrek 2. It appears near the beginning of the movie. Lead singer Adam Duritz said of it: "I was really struggling with it. I generally don't write songs on demand, and I almost got to the point where I thought I wasn't going to do it. They just told me that the song had to be uplifting. They actually said, 'Don't write a song about Shrek. Write a song that's about you.' The funny thing is, the song ended up reflecting a lot of what was going on in my life at the time: falling in love with someone you're not supposed to fall in love with because it's inconvenient. My songs for Counting Crows are mature and generally don't get a chance to reach kids. To be part of something like that is pretty cool."
