upbeat when you just listen but, if you actually read through the lyrics you can tell that is not the case. He makes you perceive something that is completely different. On the outside people are a lot different than they lead on to others. Many people have bad home lives or other bad situations occurring to them often. They don’t let others see this though; they go about their lives making others think nothing is wrong. Foster the People is a young band and not a lot of parents or older people listen to songs like this; Therefore making focusing on younger people as their audience. Foster the People did a good job in writing this song because they really point out who their audience is. Throughout the music video for “Pumped up Kicks”, Foster the People are singing and jumping around. The video looks as if nothing is wrong. All of the kids are going around showing off all of their “kicks”, and running through alleys smiling and having fun like any normal teen would do. By doing this it makes the song very controversial when you read the lyrics.
Why would Foster the People do this? Was the author Mark Foster one of the kids that he was
portraying in this song? The author talks about a gun and people outrunning his bullet. Is he pointing
out a certain person? The author doesn’t explain clearly whom he is talking about, making this also
controversial. In this case, the lyrics show the inside of a person and the music video shows the outside of the person. How did the author bring both sides together so well? The beat Foster the People used was very appealing, I think they chose a catchy beat to purposely trick people into thinking that the meaning of the song was good, instead it wasn’t. By using this catchy beat it helped me to form my whole paper. If Foster the People would have used a not so catchy beat that represented the beat more directly than you would have known the point they were trying to get across almost immediately. Instead they chose to use a catchy beat making us ( the audience) actually read into the lyrics and to really find out what is going on throughout the song.
