Hello!
Sydney pop punk band Yours Truly have just released the music video for their song 'High Hopes'.
In this post, I will write a review of the video but first, I will break down the song a little bit and tell you what I think it is about.
The lyrics of the song tell the story of a relationship, maybe between a couple or friends.
"You've got the nerve to come and say that you're not standing in my way when we both know that you're not who you said you are and you're a mess, and know it, even though you tried so hard to show it."
Someone manipulated a partner or friend into thinking they're something they're not and couldn't keep up the act.
"I had high hopes up to now and I was kind of hoping you could be my hero."
The partner or friend admired their noble qualities, courage or achievements and trusted them.
"You can take it back with the right track, all I know is that you can't shape me."
The person can make it up to them but can't change them.
Moving on to the video....
It opens with a young girl entering a big old house, which looks like it's set in a very peaceful area. As the girl enters and slowly walks up the stairs, you wonder who she is. The camera pans into Yours Truly waiting in an empty room with a glass roof and large windows. Lachlan Cronin starts by strumming his guitar and then the others join him - Jack Hanlon and Teddie Winder-Haron on guitar, Jack Hermann on drums and Mikaila Delgado on vocals. Their casual outfits and the room gives a relaxed mood and feels like they are just having a fun, informal music session at home. When you see them banging their heads and rocking out, you feel like joining in and dancing along. It quickly becomes clear that the girl is the protagonist, she is the partner or friend who had "high hopes" for someone. She played her part very well.
Everything about this video - the location, outfits, camera movements and transitions and acting are perfect and Yours Truly are amazing!!! When they perform 'High Hopes' live, you will feel like you are actually at a rock concert. I can imagine the band up on stage performing in front of a crowd of thousands who are holding up signs and lights, jumping up and down and dancing along.
Yours Truly and everyone involved in the production of this music video did an amazing job!
