Um...wow. So that was soul crushingly beautiful. Jesus fucking christ does that man know how to make tearing out someone's heart and grinding it away the most amazing thing ever. Definitely teared up a bit but I didn't actually shed one till that damn ending. I usually get choked up at the end of that song, it's gorgeous and a perfect ending. The first time I heard it whenever Tayeb seemingly ends it I was kinda like "aw damn"...and then Wilson and her come back with that ending and it's just like "Oh, your heart is in pieces? WELL WE'RE GONNA TURN IT TO DUST!"
Powerful, to say the absolute least.
On a lighter note, that animation and direction is really awesome and extremely well done. I like how she never actually cries but eyes always glazed over; then at the end you can see she's getting better. I half-expected a jump off the cliff at some point but I figured not given the story (at least for the isolated song). I love how every time a music video is made, it's apart of a story and the imagery and animation is always so perfect. Even though it's similar to others, the tone and movement is different enough and I can't see this type working with other songs; it shows how much detail and work goes into them. Truly, while I'm not putting other bands down for the 'usual' videos, that's still great and even needed at times (given that this takes something out of you, I'm sure both for the creators and viewers alike), it really is in a different league than other videos. You can't even call this a traditional music video, it's almost apples and oranges.
