When I looked at the lyrics of the song, and listened to it

a few times, it made me think of a calm video, and I was reminded of Gabriella Aplin’s ‘Home’ video, and

could imagine a similar, narrative-light journey

fitting with the style of music here.

Influences and Intentions

The countryside/journey idea really appealed to me from

Lumineers’ videos.

the other 1/2

Influences and Intentions

Other influences are mainly random shots that show

things from different, more unusual angles, such as

through shadows, blurred shots and mirrors. These

make for more interesting videos that are more

varied.
