And she spoke words that would melt in your handsAnd she spoke words of wisdom
To the basement people, to the basement, many surprises await youIn the basement, people, in the basement
You hid there last time, you know we're gonna find youSick in the carseat, cause you're not up to goingOut on the main streets, completing your mission
You hid there last time, you know we're gonna find youSick in the carseat, cause you're not up to goingOut on the main streets, completing your mission
And she spoke words that would melt in your handsAnd she spoke words of wisdom
To the basement people, to the basement, many surprises await youIn the basement, people, in the basement
You hid there last time, you know we're gonna find youSick in the carseat, cause you're not up to goingOut on the main streets, completing your mission
You hid there last time, you know we're gonna find youSick in the carseat, cause you're not up to goingOut on the main streets, completing your mission
You hid there last time, you know we're gonna find youSick in the carseat, cause you're not up to goingOut on the main streets, completing your mission
You hid there last time, you know we're gonna find youSick in the carseat, cause you're not up to goingOut on the main streets, completing your mission
This video is purely performance based, Starring the band and no one else. It can be argued that the theme is partly amplification…
What makes this unique and creative is the movement of the props and the band members by the extras, dressed all in black on the blank background. The connotations of spies and secret links to the lyrics, due to them being ‘Undercover’ and how ‘they’re gonna find you.’
There isn’t a linear or non linear narrative, similarly to how it isn’t open or closed.
The lyrics illustrated on the backdrop and the instruments are popular traits in
indie music videos.
The colorful props have been carefully organized ona simple backdrop to achieve a creative movement
that matches the upbeat music.
Fast editing has been used, as well as glow
in the dark costumes to give a frantic toneto match the beat of
the music.
