Laura McInerney says this is a triumphant metaphor of the way truth is relative to our vantage point. (All set to a searing guitar track and beautiful lyrics.
Laura McInerney writesThis video shows a series of unconnected events over its five-minute riff. We see people stealing televisions; twin sisters pushing one another; a woman being mugged; child being kidnapped.
Or, at least, that’s what we think we are seeing.
For the first three minutes, these events are interspliced, randomly, in different orders, with shots of a motorcyclist.
What you don’t see until the last minute is the entire story, told in the correct order, and at an angle where you learn that the motorcyclist is actually driving through each of these events.
Once you see the cyclist you realise the child isn’t being kidnapped: she is being moved out of harm’s way. The mugger isn’t attacking the woman: he’s saving her from being run over. The twin shoving her sister away is pushing her away from the bike. And the people stealing the televisions? They are removing debris from the cyclist’s body after he’s flown through a shop window, causing televisions to fall on top of him.
Made a meal and threw it up on Sunday
I've got a lot of things to learn
Said I would and I'll be leaving one day
Before my heart starts to burn.
So what's the matter with you?
Sing me something new ... Don't you know
The cold and wind and rain don't know
They only seem to come and go away
Times are hard when things have got no meaning
I've found a key upon the floor
Maybe you and I will not believe in the things we find behind the door
So what's the matter with you?
Sing me something new ... Don't you know
The cold and wind and rain don't know
They only seem to come and go away
Stand By Me -- Nobody knows the way it's gonna be
Stand By Me -- Nobody knows the way it's gonna be
Stand By Me -- Nobody knows the way it's gonna be
Stand By Me -- Nobody knows, yeah, nobody knows the way it's gonna be
If you're leaving will you take me with you
I'm tired of talking on my phone
There is one thing I can never give you
My heart will never be your home
So what's the matter with you?
Sing me something new ... Don't you know
The cold and wind and rain don't know
They only seem to come and go away
Stand By Me -- Nobody knows the way it's gonna be
Stand By Me -- Nobody knows the way it's gonna be
Stand By Me -- Nobody knows the way it's gonna be
Stand By Me -- Nobody knows, yeah, nobody knows the way it's gonna be
The way it's gonna be, yeah
Maybe I can see, yeah...Don't you know
The cold and wind and rain don't know
They only seem to come and go away
Hey, hey
Stand By Me -- Nobody knows the way it's gonna be
Stand By Me -- Nobody knows the way it's gonna be
Stand By Me -- Nobody knows the way it's gonna be
Stand By Me -- Nobody knows, yeah, nobody knows the way it's gonna be
