Possible songs (Band of Horses - The funeral)

I think this is the group's favourite so far, we all like the song and enjoy it very much. Even though i would prefer a performance video for our music video, i think this song on the other hand would fit much better into a narrative format, of course it being about funerals and death, etc. I think filming in a dark place, like a graveyard or even a church would fit in very well with the lyrics and the overall feel of thew video, for example "at every occasion i will be ready for a funeral". I also think black and white should be the main colours that run through the video as they are the colours that you associate with a funeral, with maybe flashes of colour with zoom ins to show the true emotion and fear in the faces.

I'm coming up only to hold you under
I'm coming up only to show you wrong
And to know you is hard and we wonder
To know you all wrong, we were

Really too late to call, so we wait for
Morning to wake you; it's all we got
To know me as hardly golden
Is to know me all wrong, they were

At every occasion I'll be ready for a funeral
At every occasion once more is called a funeral
Every occasion I'm ready for the funeral
At every occasion one brilliant day funeral

I'm coming up only to show you down for
I'm coming up only to show you wrong
To the outside, the dead leaves, they all blow (alive is very poetic)
For'e (before) they died had trees to hang their hope

At every occasion I'll be ready for the funeral
At every occasion once more is called the funeral
At every occasion I'm ready for the funeral
At every occasion one brilliant day funeral
