Never Shout Never - Big City Dreams Music Video Analysis

this video's storyline and song is about a boy, singing to his girlfriend about how he knows she wants to leave and he kind of accepts it, but he'd rather she stayed, because he knows he's going to be left behind and he's going to miss her. he wants her to be happy here, because he wants to stay with her, but in the end he lets her go as he is literally weighing her down with the piece of string.



this initial tubechop shows a very illustrated piece of footage where as the words "pack up all my things and get my ass outta town." play, the video literally shows a girl packing her things into a bag and walking out of the door.



This tubechop amplifies the tying her down aspect of the video as it shows she is tied to a string that is with him, in this scene also, there are many closeups of Christopher (never shout never's artist) as we are familiarised to the singer, so we can empathise with his feelings of the girl walking away from him.



This final tubechop also amplifies the tying her down feeling as she is like a kite flying in the air and he finally has to let go, which signifies the end and also the end of the song.
