Dave Gahan - “Kingdom”

The concept and song play beautifully together. You could spend a semester dissecting this video. My first thought: desolate parking lots and exterior of houses (and what they symbolize) could be the invisible sharks  that exist underneath the water, threatening to destroy everything alive. But as nature started to flash, could it be everybody had left the artificial world to return to the natural world. Maybe leave the physical world for the spiritual world. Or it could be simple as an alien abduction (i kid).

Special mention to the cinematography and color correction. This would be a video I would love to see on HD. No blowouts, high contrast but without that extreme look that music videos seem to thrive on.

    Definitely a “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” vibe. Nice one!
