I like the song, but idk. The literal..images..don't necessarily ruin it but you don't get a chance to feel the song, you're too absorbed watching imo.

This sucks. I'm sorry, but you ruined an amazing song by having the actors literally act out every line of the song.
The production seems very competent and everything, but there's a good reason most music video directors don't just act songs out point for point in video form. Try choosing an interesting theme or image in the song and making something artistic out of that.

@colorocco I think your video is fucking rad bro. Very talented - and a great song to take a literal approach on.

This song is about Savannah and her suicide.

It's not that bad, actually. It´s just cheesy for being so litteral.

@kmbjazz It makes it a little bit creepy, really.

I wanted it to be less literal and more aesthetically pleasing. When it's that literal, you don't give the viewer's interpretation a chance. So it lost meaning for me.

DMAN he bitched slaped the fuck out of her, i can hear it now "BITCH" POW "WHY THE FUCK DID YOU THROW AWAY ALL MY BEER, YOU STUPID WHORE, IM GONNA FUCKING KILL YOU" says the abusive husband "NOOOOOOO!!! dont hit me again im sorry, i wont do it again, i swear" says the bitch whos getten hit "YOUR RIGHT YOU WONT" BAM "FUCK YOU" wife "FUCK ME ILL GET MY 44 ON YOU BITCH" grabs gun "NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!" POW dead police come "OH SHIT IM OUT BITCHES"



Could you be any more literal? This is well-executed, but your images match the lyrics to closely to be interesting.
