I was shown this video at the start of the summer and it quickly stuck in my head and gave me nightmares for weeks! It plagued me when I was awake and when I was asleep.
I have now grown to love it and in particular the imagery within the lyrics.
The video portrays a wild girl lost in suburbia. She has come from the surrounding forest and stumbles across a pool and is totally confused by civilisations mod cons. She is used to water in rivers and lakes, not crystal clear blue water. Her inner energy forces her to react in a jolted and convulsive way.
What I am particularly inspired by in this video are the textures and colours. I love the fur and feathers concealing the nakedness of the wild child. The colours of the fur contrast against the foggy wilderness behind.
The lyrics are also as beautiful as the video.
"When I grow up, I want to be a forester, run through the moss on high heels.
When I grow up, I want to live near the sea Crab claws and bottles of rum.
I never liked a sad look from someone who wants to be loved by you.
Waiting for you to embrace me I wait for him to catch me"
I think the lyrics are immature but in an innocent way. They are about love and life and also the innocence and fragility of emotions, especially when it comes to love. This girl just wants to be loved and saved. The imagery is incredible and I think that it could influence a beautiful photoshoot.
