"Just" Radiohead

The music video "Just" by Radiohead would be conceptual because it's not telling a story nor is it in a wild concert environment. The meaning of the song could be taken many ways because of the fact that the subtitles were taken away right when the man was about to tell why he was lying down. So after watching the video, your mind can go off in many ways of why he was lying there, what he said, and why his answer mad the whole crowd fall down. The sound of the music is very dark, there is not a fun beat to it. It actually sounds a little depressing. The most common phrase used in this song is "You do it to yourself". When you tie this into the video, it first makes sense because it looks like the man is hurt or drunk or he did something to himself and that is why he is on the ground. But after he tells the other man who tries to help him that he is okay then it totally twists your thoughts. The visual part was like an average rock video, it doesn't seem like too much goes on. Most of the focus was on the man on the ground. We have no idea what this video's point is. It seemed like the whole thing was filled with chaos.
