Moby - Natural Blues
Against the Current - Young and Relentless
This video, while somewhat exaggerated, keeps the theme commonly held by music videos when it comes to age, that it is better to be young. In this music video, we see Moby as an old man in depressing surroundings harking back to his youth as he waits for death. Obviously, this represents old age as depressing, as something to fear. At the end of the music video, Moby finally dies and is reborn as a child, implying that youth is somehow a reward.
This video explores a common theme of youth in music videos. The video is basically the polar opposite of Natural Blues the performers appear young, they are having a consistently good time throughout the video and they are free rather than trapped. The video is mainly the band members having fun in a city and playing with balloons, both things associated with youth rather than old age.
