This video is very effective right from the beginning. The colours that are used are catching and imagery is different from other videos that I have seen. At the start it looks as though clouds are covering the singers head, this fits in with the aspect of lightning from the song title.
There are some moments where the band is singing or playing the guitar but this is covered by different effects and colours which make it more interesting and appealing.
Throughout there is this effect of clouds in the background which sometimes fits in with the lyrics along with other imagery in the video. Quick cuts and sudden imagery fit together with the beat of the song.
“I fall into the blinding light.” These are lyrics that fit in at around 44 seconds with the imagery of the glasses being clouded. “Love is a time machine” fits in at around 1 minute 7 seconds as the door and train that comes through it could represent a time machine and the red rose representing the love. At 3 minutes 41 seconds the flash in singers eye relates to lightning however I believe the word lightning is a metaphor for other things.
There is a lot of imagery relating to many things, the majority of them being soldiers or the world. The drums in the background sound like them of a troop of soldiers and the imagery of them fits with that slightly.
