This is another music video that suggests to me that the world is about to end so we should enjoy it while we can.  Swim.  Look at the trees.  Run down the road.  Do it all, while you can.  I know that may sound like a somewhat morbid interpretation of this video but, in my defense, I’m currently running a fever and I’m also currently doing some research on films about the end of the world for a future review series.

(Interestingly enough, people have always been obsessed with the idea of the world ending.  Since the start of time, people have been saying, “The world will end in 10 or 12 years.”  For whatever reason, everyone always seems to assume that we’ve only got a decade left.  I think that’s because 10 years sounds close enough to cause a panic but, at the same time, it’s also distant enough that people will have forgotten about the prediction by the time that it doesn’t come true.)

Anyway, this video really isn’t about the end of the world, despite what my overactive imagination might claim.  Instead, the video is more about joy and living life to its fullest.  This is good music to drive to, as long as you can afford to pay for any speeding tickets that you may get.  You honestly can’t drive slowly while listening to good music.  Good music encourages you to make use of the accelerator.

The sight of the passing trees reminds me of when I was growing up and we’d drive through Oklahoma and Arkansas and North Texas to visit family or, as was often the case, to move to a new town.  Because I tend to get car sick, I would always end up resting my head against the window and watching the trees past by.

Enjoy!
