(which is all me, I&#8217;m sure of it) haha It&#8217;s like I&#8217;m singing all the wrong words again. I still love it and I&#8217;m showing it to all my friends \u2665<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Fist of all, very nice way to ask a question. Oh why can&#8217;t we all be so kind!<\/p>\n<p>The video is not really a &#8220;concept&#8221; video. There is no plot, time line, story to follow or script. Once again we began with an idea of what we were not\/what we did not want to do, and ended with what we are.<\/p>\n<p>The purpose of the contrasting characters is to portray just that&#8230;the contrast in society, sobriety, reality, dreamscapes and city scapes. At the end of the day it&#8217;s just me, and I&#8217;m just me, but I&#8217;m living in two different worlds. If these two characters were not me, would you perceive them differently? Would you, perchance, judge them?<\/p>\n<p>Although they live in separate universes, they have some similarities. Sure, they&#8217;re both me. More importantly though, there is some heartbreak in there in both of them. And at the end of the day, isn&#8217;t there a little bit of heartbreak in all of us?<\/p>\n<p>From islands apart we see the debutante and transient are actually very similar. Perhaps they are identical. And in our struggles and times of triumph alike, perhaps we all are.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=uODJ18BQlMc&#038;feature=autoshare_twitter\"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A friend of mine checked out the new video for These City Lights and said The video looks fantastic, I just feel lost on the concept.
