Sarah Kay & Phil Kaye - When Love Arrives
00:08
Pause and high pitch of voice adds to the naiveness that youth believe what love to be, setting the expectations
01:15
Sarah changing her voice to a low growl tone and Phils heavy nervous breathing is an amazing way to portray nervousness inexplicitly we call this identification in voice: acousmatic voice; Phils adlibs weren't in the lyrics of the poem
02:15
Their voices sound gentle and soft portraying the loss of a past love that may be reigniting now ; "Love" is repeated to emphasize the personification of "love" and his/her habits
02:30
The speakers voices become increasingly irritable towards eachother with the change of tone portraying the change from admiration to annoyance
02:38
The word "boobs" was amplified and longer duration to highlight Sarah's annoyance and emphasize her distaste for Phil's "immaturity"
02:46
"Love shits!" was amplified for shock value (as it was shocking for the two to know this new information)
02:58
repetition to emphasize how important this term is to Sarah to further point at how many rely on their partners validation (even unconciously) on their appearances
03:33
Throughout the poem, the versus have similarly repeated beginnings, spoken in the same tempo; These versus begin with a "Maybe"
03:53
Their voices slowly begin to sound weaker, vulnerable, tired to portray the exhaustion of fixing something that is already beyond repair (the end of the relationship)
03:58
A pause after this verse highlighting the anguish of love being impermanent; acceptance settling in on both Sarah and Phil; this part of the poem mimics a conversation between the two with one desparate to leave and the other hanging on, begging for them to stay
