Mansion in the sky and lyrics

Here is the music video that is officially for "Mansion in the sky" by the brian jonestown massacre Could you forget the awful things I've done? Could you forget the awful things I've done? Well I'm sure I will become your favorite son. If you forgive the awful things I've done. Sweet Jesus could you wash my sadness away? Sweet Jesus could you take this pain away? If the devil offers know that i will say. "Sweet Jesus blood it washed my sins away." Make room in your masion in the sky Open up your big house in the sky But don't ask me what I've done cause I will lie. Just make me in your masion in the sky Make room in your masion in the sky

Treatment for Mansion in the Sky

Set outside a bank, all camera shots are taken from inside or outside the bank. 2 Men dressed as hobos (or not haven’t decided quite yet). Sit facing the bank with a guitar each and begin to play to start the tune.

They have a sign saying “Jobless men keep going, we can’t take care of our own”. The song switches between shots at a steady slow rate at first, including some shots at night with them sitting on the sidewalk busking. Bank shot on first lyric “Could you forget the awful things i’ve done?”. A pedestrian (actor) will walk by the two performers stop then sit next to them.

This is clipped in with shots of singing at various busking spots. Throughout the song more and more pedestrians come and sit down with the two performers. The most start to come to sit down on the second verse “Sweet Jesus could you wash my sadness away?”

In the solo following the second verse people from inside the bank begin to walk outside and sit with the performers too. The group is quite large now, the solo clips in-between shots of the group sitting and the two performers writing the sign and tuning their guitar, there are also shots of them walking to the bank and shots of busking spots again.

Last verse is comprised of all shots previously mentioned clipping between one another with lip synch on all of them. When song finishes people are still sitting and the shot fades out.

Alternate take

Set outside a bank, scruffy looking man walks up to bank with a sign and holds it up/attaches to himself, the sign is saying “Jobless men keep going, we can’t take care of our own”. The two performers are seen down the road and a preparing to perform. As they start playing the song cues in, camera shots cut between the two performers and the man at several banks holding the same sign (performers will be at same location throughout song, just with different angles).

As the first verse starts the man is seen talking to various people as they walk into the bank, he is trying to get them to hold up the sign with him. (has a megaphone if possible if not then just shouting it doesn’t matter what he’s shouting as you wont hear it). Hopefully gets some people to hold up the sign as he shouts down the megaphone. Throughout the first verse shots clip between the man’s protest at different banks and the performers playing the song on the street.

All people who hold up the sign must be real people in order to get the dramatic effect right. no matter what happens the shots will look good as if people agree to hold up the sign there is a upbeat feel to the song if they refuse then there’ll be a sorrow feeling to the song. Either way will be fine.

As the second verse begins the man is seen sitting across a desk (he is well dressed) talking to a man sitting across from him in a suit (Banker). The man is looking very desperate and looks as though he’s begging, the banker is looking very solemn. On the last line of the verse the banker stamps a form or signs a form DENIED. During the whole verse shots are only clipped between the meeting and the performers, not the actual protest.

As the solo starts at the end of the second verse the man is seen wrecking the bankers desk (sweeping of papers, kicking over things). Security (anyone wearing a suit) drags the man away as he manically struggles. Shots clip the same as the second verse but once he is taken away he is seen making the sign. On the second half of the solo clip between making the sign, crying/breaking down and the performers playing the solo. The last verse opens with the banker sitting at his desk in a solemn/depressed state, he lip-synch’s the first two lines of the last verse. These two lines clip in between the banker the guitar playing (on the street) accompanying it. the last lines of the song switch between the performer lip-synching, the banker doing the same and the man outside the various banks protesting. Last shot is man Either being taken away from protesting or leaving by his own accord.

mansion in the sky video, mood board, lyrics and history



Could you forget the awful things I've done? Could you forget the awful things I've done? Well I'm sure I will become your favorite son. If you forgive the awful things I've done. Sweet Jesus could you wash my sadness away? Sweet Jesus could you take this pain away? If the devil offers know that i will say. "Sweet Jesus blood it washed my sins away."

The Brian Jonestown Massacre (BJM) is a neo-psychedelic rock band, led by Anton Newcombe. The group was founded by Newcombe, Matt Hollywood, Ricky Rene Maymi, Patrick Straczek and Travis Threlkel in the early 1990s in San Francisco, California. The current line-up consists of Anton Newcombe, Matt Hollywood, Frankie "Teardrop" Emerson, Ricky Maymi, Collin Hegna, Dan Allaire, Rob Campanella, Will Carruthers and Joel Gion.The band have recorded albums that could fit into a variety of musical genres across their history. 1995's Methodrone approximates the UK shoegazing sound of the time, a sound they would return to with the band's 2009 album, My Bloody Underground.

Their Satanic Majesties' Second Request from 1996 reflects a pastiche of '60s psychedelia that continues to characterize the BJM sound

to the pres

ent day. Newcombe defines the term 'psychedelic' as "mind-expanding," and BJM's output is generally referred to as such because of the revivalist nature of the music. Elements of Middle Eastern and Brazilian music are also apparent along w

ith influences by 1960s artists such as The Beatles, The Velvet Underground, Donovan, The Byrds and Bob Dylan. The song "Jesus" is reminiscent of Spacemen 3's The Perfect Prescription. The album's title is an homage to Their

Satanic Majesties Request by The Rolling Stones.

Thank God for Mental Illness displays a country and rhythm and blues oeuvre with voice and acoustic guitar dominating the overall sound. This is a format that Newcombe occasionally resorts to when presenting live material during times of transition in the band. A further country/folk approach was applied to the Bringing It All Back Home - Again, the title itself an homage to Bob Dylan's Bringing It All Back Home

.

Electronic music crept into 2003's And This Is Our Music, evidencing more contemporary influences as well as name-checking the identically-titled albums This Is Our Music, each by the artists Galaxie 500 and Ornette Coleman. In 2005 the band released the EP We Are The Radio on Newcombe's label The Committee to Keep Music Evil, which featured a close collaboration with indie singer-songwriter Sara Beth Tuceck.

My Bloody Underground was released on Cargo Reco

rds in 2008, and demos were available since September 2007 from the band's website. The title has been interpreted to be a name-check to the band

s My Bloody Valentine, and The Velvet Underground as well as referencing BJM's endless procession of bandmates and the "scene" they collectively created. Newcombe has down-played such interpretations in an interview, however. Mu

sic videos of the songs on the album have also been released, including a music video compilation DVD entitled 'Book of Days'.

One was released in November 2009. Recorded in Iceland and Berlin, The Brian Jonestown Massacre move forward with this EP, as an anno

uncement of their forthcoming full length album “Who Killed Sergeant Pepper ?”.

Who Killed Sgt. Pepper was recorded in early and late 2009 in Iceland and Berlin. Set for release in February 2010. This album features musicans of the likes of Unnur Andrea Einarsdottir (who recorded vocals on the last BJM album) and Felix from the Russian band “Amazing Electronic Talking Cave” as well as other musicians from France, Germany and Iceland. Will Cruthers and Matt Hollywood also return to the line-up on this album.


They have also features in The Simp

sons. Here is the photo:
