Introduction

I’ve debated starting this theme for a few weeks, and I ultimately decided I would as it would encourage me to looks for options that actually fit what I’m aiming for. If one pays too much attention to Top 40 type music you tend to see a dearth of creativity in the music video form. The music video is spawned from short films and can be as creative if not more so than their predecessor. Far too often it does just become singing heads. I want to try and buck that trend and find ones both new and old that do something somewhat outside the box, at the very least have some sort of visual narrative. Here we go.

Since this video features Noah Schnapp (Will Byers, Stranger Things) it’s gotten a lot of press for that but the video is that good though and deserving of the attention – and I like the song a lot as well.

As I watched it there were echoes of many other videos and films that came to mind but it is definitely its own thing.

And on a personal note, I went to film school with the executive producer of the company that produced this video, which is very cool indeed!
