Over the course of the half term I've been looking at a lot of bands of similar genre (IE in the rock/alternative section)
So I've been looking at their videos too. Here are a few I pulled up.
NOTE: For some reason, Embedding the videos didn't want to work, so I've had to put links on instead :(
Miss May I - Relentless Chaos
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f3m3pM3Z-8Q&feature=grec_index
So the song is mainly the band's performance, mixed with the vocalist's performance in the jail cell.
When considering the lyrics, the narrative doesn't appear to be directly related to the song at all, but of course the band must have some good reason for doing it how they did.
The next video is:
Bring me the horizon - The Sadness will never end
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-TNckXgfYhA&ob=av2e
This video is much more narrative-based, with the boy going into the woods.
The main theme of the video seems to be the phrase "I won't give up on you". Which could be related to the boy's mysterious relationship with the girl. Overall the narrative seems to work quite well, mixing the innocence of children with the harsh reality of the song's lyrics.
The final song is:
36 Crazyfists - Bloodwork
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLVsdIE832c
This is a much more light hearted video, the cartoony, comic book style of the video contrasts with the more serious sounding music. Only very late into the video do we see some kind of connection between the video and the song when the singer says "And I'll swallow these capsules" as some magice capsules appear in his hand.
