I selected a clip from the song Radioactive, by Imagine Dragons.

I chose this song because it is one of my all time favorite songs by one of my all time favorite artists. I love how this song is put together; it's eerie, beautiful, haunting, and so powerful, musically. It is a mix between electronic rock, alternative rock, with some elements of dubstep; they way the song is put together is so viscerally powerful. The lyrics, as well, speak to the feeling of waking up one day, seeing life in a new way, and deciding to do something new. I wanted to see if I could recreate the feeling that the song gives me in a physical sense, and what that could possibly look like. 

It was difficult to do the entire song, so I concentrated on the first thirty seconds of the song. That way, I could concentrate on the sound and the feeling of the song (over the lyrics) because, while I think the lyrics are a really important part of the song, oftentimes, in music, the lyrics only tell a fraction of the story. 

The entire song is attached; but the art concentrates on the first 30 seconds of the song, ending when the lyrics start with "I'm waking up."
