My favorite vid is “Dragonfly” on the Beat-Club. It isn’t that the green screen or the videographic effects are great but that the whole thing just goes right to my mind and my heart. In 2023, it feels lifetimes past. Makes me think of everything that was and everything that might have been — and all the people gone (three in the video are dead). The video effect makes them look like apparitions in one’s memory, and the camera pan just feels so nebulous, like life. You want to reach out to each of them and grab them and hold them still for a second, but they elude any attempt to fix them for even a few seconds to get your fill.
The other vids I like — including “If You Ever Did Believe” and “Little Lies” — don’t have much to recommend them as classics, but they’re OK to rewatch every five years.
