Hello!
This post is a review of Sydney band The Lazy Eyes' music video for their debut single 'Cheesy Love Song'. If you don't know who The Lazy Eyes are, search them up on social media!
I have seen these four talented guys perform a few times and have been waiting for them to actually release some music and Cheesy Love Song is awesome!
The video opens with Harvey playing the piano and singing. He immediately had me hooked with his amazing voice. He sounds angelic to me. The camera zooms out to show the other members, Noah on the drums and Blake on the.... bass? (forgive me, I'm not sure what you call that instrument. It looks like a guitar to me!) For a moment I thought, wait a minute, someone's missing and then, as Noah gives that drum one big beating, Itay appears from the left side with his instrument. I like that we could just hear the instrumentals for a few seconds, they blend together very well.
At this point, I had a feeling that lights were going to come on or the background would change but it didn't and, if I'm being completely honest, I was a little disappointed because I would have liked to see that and a bit more color because the black makes it a little gloomy. This is a love song and I feel that a more colorful background or location would have gone well with it.
In the second chorus, the guys are sitting in the middle of an orchestra of violin and cello players. I liked this part. It made it unique because orchestras are rarely seen in music videos. At first I thought only Harvey was sitting in the middle of them but then realized Noah and Itay are also there, on the sides. I'm sure Blake was there too but not in the shot.
Next, there are close up shots of all the guys which is great. Each member and there musical talents are showcased. Two minutes and eighteen seconds into the video, a lot starts happening in the video. Special effects are added. I don't know what to call these effects but I'll explain them as best as I can.
Various shots are intertwined, we see a close-up of Blake, Harvey and Itay with Noah playing the drums. Here are some screenshot to help explain what I'm trying to say.

I love that the camera moves around so we can see them from different angles. It makes it more interesting. One of my favorites was the view from above starting at point three minutes and six seconds.
Screenshots from the music video
Towards the end of the video, there's a part where the camera goes behind the orchestra and that makes us feel like we are part of the audience watching them on stage. I like the kaleidoscope effect. When I saw that I was like, yay! finally some colour!
Harvey, Blake, Noah and Itay sure do move with a lot of passion when they perform. It shows that they enjoy performing and are having fun. I wonder if they can dance? That would be interesting to see! I think they have improved a lot. Each time I see them perform, they get better and I can tell that they have worked hard in the studio recording this song and filming this video. They have shown their creativity here.
The Lazy Eyes, the director and everyone involved in the making of this video have done a great job.
Guys, Congratulations on your first single and music video. You all are amazing and should be very proud of this. I hope to hear more music soon!
'Cheesy Love Song' can be streamed on Spotify and you can watch the music video o YouTube.
