Kaiser Chiefs- Oh My God
This video also brings up a lot of questions which get answered late on, and it's become a theme of music videos i have seen. They set up instruments in a warehouse, and in uniform so it looks like they're at work. They begin setting up normal ones, like drums for instance, and when they start blowing up rubber guitars and assembling plastic instruments you get the feeling that they will play instruments no matter what, showing their devotion to their music, to their fans but in a funny way. When it comes to the chorus, you realise they're showing literally what they're singing about. The line 'never been this far away from home' is mirrored by the group being in situations they clearly wouldn't usually. For example, on a snowy high cliff, and in a strip club inside a sort of prison. This shows they're out of their depth, but carry on anyway. Although it seems like they're showing unrealistic settings at the start, you get the impression they mean they're 'far away from home' in the context their music has taken them places they haven't been, or never expected. You can clearly tell when it is the climax to the song, and this is shown clearly in the video as well, from strange drawings on the screen, as if it's showing their imagination. This is also true for the denouement, which is shown by the scene slowing down, and the lights turning off.
