After listening to all the songs on Frances's single let it out we finally decided to pick the song Set sail for our music video as we both had the biggest connection towards the lyrics of the song and the meaning behind it.
Frances-Set Sail
They say love is an island
Beautiful at a distance
Some are trying to find it
Some are trying to find a way out
You've been on both sides
Of these rough waters
Somehow you survived
But you came out on your own
And you still need someone
Will you set sail
Will you set sail tonight
Till we see land
Never look back or behind
I don't know if we'll get lost at sea
Or we'll end up where we're supposed to be
Are you brave enough to swim against the tide?
Love leaves you stranded
But that's the way we want it
Safe in our own refuge
No one else will ever reach it
Will you be that someone
Will you set sail
Will you set sail tonight
Till we see land
Never look back or behind
I don't know if we'll get lost at sea
Or we'll end up where we're supposed to be
Are you brave enough to swim against the tide?
Any breaking wave can lead you home
Or turn you upside down and leave you here
With no one here to hurt you
But no one there to save you
Will you risk it all?
Will you set sail
Will you set sail tonight
Till we see land
Never look back or behind
I don't know if we'll get lost at sea
Or we'll end up where we're supposed to be
Are you brave enough to swim against the tide?

Exploration of synaesthesia
When listening to the song and reading the lyrics many times I think the overall message of the song which the artist is trying to get across is about how difficult love can be such as finding it, coping with it, and letting go. From the repetition of the rhetorical question 'are you brave enough to swim against the tide?' suggests that the song is aimed at the other person in the relationship asking if their brave enough to cope through the challenging unpredictable moments of being in love.
However It seems she is prepared to move with the relationship as she says 'never look back or behind'.
My favourite thing about the song is the link of the relationship to the ocean as they both have very similar aspects of how unpredictable they are and how quickly things may change between the two.
To me the words set sail mean:

To me the words set sail mean:
- A relationship moving on/ setting free
- Fighting through the rough patch of a relationship to get to the other side
