Concept Music Video: Fireflies by Owl City



Fireflies by Owl City
This music video is an example of a concept music video where the video itself does not make much sense but is still exciting to look at. The song itself suggests a magical experience as the toys around the room starts to move when the artist presses a "magic" button on his keyboard. Owl City might be trying to suggest fireflies are like magic. Although being a conceptual music video, Goodwin's theories still fit into the video. For example, there is strong relationship between visuals and the lyrics as keywords from the lyrics such as "fireflies" are shown to be typed out in beat with the music. Also, a good link with music and visuals as the beginning shows the lights around the room being lit in time with the beats of the song.
