Music Video Analysis- Snow Patrol- Open your eyes


Snow Patrol – Open Your Eyes


In the song Chasing Cars the lyrics illustrate a man talking about a girl explaining he wants her to lie with him and just forget everything else that is going on in the world. They show this in the video by making the lead singer lie down in random places such as hills next to motorways, tube trains and in the middle of quiet roads every time the song reaches the chorus and they are the lyrics he is singing. This happens on every chorus until the last one when he is simply just lying on his bed alone with no one beside him, by using a bed it shows that it is someone he has strong feelings for and wants to have a relationship with. During the main verses of the song the man is just walking around the streets singing with no one paying any attention to him, this could show that no one seems to care about him or pay attention to the way he feels. The theme of the video matches Snow Patrols way of them, we know this because we looked at the video for ‘Open Your Eyes’ by Snow Patrol which is just a simple car journey around the streets of Paris.
