It's a beautiful video, but...no band footage?
Yes, beautiful, but really disappointing. It's just album artwork with effects. I did the same thing for the ADtoE lyric video contest 10 years ago for This is The Life (
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ksQqoXVNTmI). Yeah, it's cheesy AF, but I still think it turned out well.
DT is doing, like, 3 lyric videos for every 1 actual video these days... and this one doesn't even have lyrics!
Especially for a band like DT I want to see them playing. This video is good for exactly one viewing and after that I'm just doing stuff on my phone while it plays.
Musicians can learn a lot from watching other musicians play. Even a simple video of them playing, like on Untethered Angel, would be awesome and worth several re-watches.
I'm not big on the "sinister" instrumental section. It seems so out of place in the middle of such a happy song. I think doing a piano/acoustic breakdown like at 4:50 or the outro would have been a better way to go. But it's still my favorite song on VTW.
They're all great but I seem to gravitate more towards their happier-sounding songs.
