!!!!==PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE WATCHING==!!!!
PAY ATTENTION TO THE LYRICS ALONG WITH PICTURE/VIDEO This is not supposed to be a video to show off the gameplay of battlefield, but to use battlefield to act as a visual aid to show some of the underlying meaning in this song. You can interpret it in many different ways, but the entire video is based around the idea that a mother is looking through photos of a lost son that died in the war, and then it switches to his memories of what he is actually doing, to the horrors he sees, and all the death caused by this war, to his eventual death, Some parts in the song are describing things he can do, but instead is risking his life in war.
An example is when the solider is parachuting out of the heli, instead of doing any of the things the lyrics in the song describes such as "i can show you how to scratch a record", he is risking his life in war. Another example, when the line "I'm Proud to be an American" is said, it flashes to a still of the soldier posing with a tank, with the American flag flying in the background. This is to represent America as a military giant, or superpower.
During the instrumental lull in the song you see many different stills of dead soldiers, and this is to represent the choas, horror, and waste of human life from war.
The lines:
+Just called to say that it's good to be
ALIVE
In such a small world
All curled up with a book to read
+I can make money open up a thrift store
Stills of the soldier peeking out through a window representing the danger on his life, a still of soldier on stairwell cautiously approaching a doorway gun drawn is to show that he is in a total different world than the one a civillian knows, the still hiding beside a truck in front of a building is used to represent a store that could be used for productivity but is used for protection from harm instead.
See what else you can pick out that matches up, and please COMMENT!!
