So now I’m going to gush on about a song I am LOVING at the
moment. I know I am a little late on the bandwagon but Oh Land’s music video
for her single White Nights is too
good to ignore.
I am not usually one to re-watch a music video, and to be
honest a lot of pop videos bore me a little. Their link to the lyrics and the
general meaning of a song tend to be very tenuous.
A prime example of this would be Maroon 5’s Payphone, which is a top budget pile of
poo if you ask me.
Not even Adam Levine's tones torso could save this video...
However Canada’s creation (the director Oh Land (Nanna) is
actually Danish) seems to get the balance perfectly. The dream-like imagery
ties in effortlessly with the mystical music.
The slow motion shot of Oh Land jumping into the water is just
stunning and one of my favourite scenes from the video.
Maybe I am having a bit of a magpie moment – I tend to be
attracted to shiny things. But to me this video is stunningly shot, and wonderfully
choreographed.
Anyway watch it here and see what you think…
Oh Land’s album is
available now.
