Final music video

Connection between music/lyrics visuals

No rest - Dry the River

What are the emotions it stirs?
The song makes you explore emotions quite deeply. For example, it makes you think about everything in the deepest way, so if you think about a love story (like I did), it's a very intense love story, where he loses the girl and is absolutely devestated

What do you visualise? How do you picture the music video?
I visualised two settings. One where a single man and woman where on a beach sharing love moments, and the other where the man was in a stone room by himself mouthing the lyrics with all the beach shots playing in fast motion around him and him looking lost

What images are conjured up in your mind when you hear the song?
Images of him looking sad and lost in the stone room and images of him looking perfect and content on the beach with his lover

Intertextuality, voyeurism, performance, narrative, abstract? A combination?
No intertextuality or voyeurism, but a mixture of an abstract performance and narrative of the man telling his story in an artistic way

What did others say about their ideas for a music video? Which did you like the best?
One idea was a roman setting of an old peasant lookin for gold in order for him to win his lover
Another idea was a man walking along a street with all of his body parts falling off one by one until he was a pile of asch
But my favourite idea was shots from all sorts of relationships, not just lovers. For example mothers and daughters, grandad's and grandchildren etc
