Save Me by Remy Zero
i enjoyed in the video how during the narrative the singer is walking around normally but everyone else is in reverse, and how during the performance there are clips projected behind the band of disastors and animals fight and eating but they are all in reverse as well, as if the bands are the only ones who are normal, or possibly the weird people who are in reverse, but during some parts it is obvious that the lead singer is acting in reverse its being filmed and then played backwards, the singer acting in some parts just doesn't flow right, feels blocky and awkward, especially when he has the children follow him, the narrative follow the song lyrics, the lead singer needs saving, he is in a world where everything is in reverse, but one the other hand the world in reverse means that all the disasters are reversed so the people that it affects are brought back to life or saved, i thought bringing the children into the narrative was effective as the children are the future and will have to save the world effectively the lead singer is almost crying out for them to save everyone, the video is not massively adept as its simply shot and then reversed, the narrative very effectively amplifys the lyrics, they aren't literal but the idea of needing to be saved is very much amplified, the target is teenager about 14-20, to encourage them to work at saving the world, showing what a state and disarray the planet is in and how we need someone to step up and save not just the individual but the needs of the many.
