When white light splits it's red blue green. A 2002 study calculated there were around 4.2 million CCTV cameras in the UK. There could be one million sensors per UK resident by 2057. "The average Londoner may be viewed as many as 300 times a day."
In an age where there are more music video stars than music stars this is a refreshing change, unusual imagery that doesn't distract and sell the song with a mini-movie like every other pop song or sell the artist in a choreographed dance routine, i got lost in the music and the video is hypnotic like one of those spirals that go on forever but perfectly pitched to suit the music mood and theme.
I love this band and the song is sublime. Every once in a while you get a band or an artist that really changes things, and this is one of them. BTW If you like this check out my music, it has a similar kind of vibe.
I think this is about someone who thinks of their entire life as a movie. They just died, and they're going to be in heaven and they've their life on a videotape, so someday they could watch it again
This is strange cause when I was little I thought I could, might, do that.
But I've always thought, if you watched someone else's life through their eyes... would you do the same thing as them in a situation?
My opinion is that it's a suicide note, and that's he's scared of being judged in heaven. And that he can't do it face to face, so he recorded his last words on videotape, the words that sum him up.
@lufc550 yeah i pretty much think of it the same way. maybe not so much as a suicide song.. because i seemed to always find the song uplifting and peaceful. but thats just me. but i agree with him sorta saying " heres me, and my best moments.. remember me for this when im gone" . who knows really though. its just a beautiful song. :)
The idea (with the video) is great, but perhaps it would look better with less visual distortion, and less strong?
Basically, the video plays a little clearer most of the time (some distortion present for a good percentage, occasionally coming in clear), and only occasionally getting as bad as you see in this video?
This video is a favorite on Venezuela

I don't know, but maybe they intend to use some glitch technique in their vid to make it more "experimental."

could it perhaps be that we are all just watching our lives on a videotape and that our lives are just passing us by?

That's a good explanation.
My opinion is that it's a suicide note, and that's he's scared of being judged in heaven. And that he can't do it face to face, so he recorded his last words on videotape, the words that sum him up.
I think it could be a bit of both of our ideas.
