I still don't know what to think about the video. Watched it in the middle of the night last night drunk with sleep and I found it really intriguing. When it started with the imagery of an abandoned town I was afraid the vid would be about a real ghost town. I am happy it is not. Adam started singing, and he looked exactly as he sounds on the song. First wondering, remembering, dreamlike, sad. Then getting more sorrowful and finally angry. "called out your name, but there was no answer". Lots of pretty ghosts in the chorus. Then really desperate Adam, spreading out his arms and this time I really felt the "died in my dreams". After that, the rest of the vid just went by in a blur. Like a confusing trip.
It left me full of thoughts. I watched the start of it frame by frame and it really is like a painting made of different pictures. The two girls that seem to be there simultaneously consist of alternating frames, first two frames of one girl then two of the other and so on. I'm not sure yet whether this cutting work is pure genius or somebody who went overboard with their editing toys.
Articulating my thoughts like this, I think I like it. It makes you think. People love it, people hate it. I will definitely go back to watch some more.
(And.... did all those radio adds really happen yesterday?? WOW! What a week!)

I just wanted to say, before I toddle off to bed (work tomorrow so early riser), that reading everyone's opinions and interpretations of the video has been as much fun as the video itself. You all have such diverse experiences and bring it all to the game. It's just the greatest place. Thank you all. ITA, mehitabel! I really loved reading everyone's take on the video, even more than the video itself! Some really thoughtful, eloquent people on this forum! Love it!

As augenpoesie already wrote on page 1 ... ... I also don't know much about the US radio-system but I'm sooo happy to read about the high number of adds that GT got in this first week! YAY!!! Betty, I don't understand anything about any radio system anywhere, but when knowledgeable peeps start flailing, then I get excited, too!

The music video on Adam's YT channel is still listed as private.
I'm wondering whether ET! has exclusive rights to share the video for 24 hours or something like that.

According to a tweet from Shosh 3 hrs ago, there is an exclusive in place on the video for 5 more hours. Looks like we have approx 1 1/2 more hours to go. So maybe around 4am PST / 7am EST it will no longer be exclusive.

Just rewatched in 0.25 speed on YT, which took me about 10 minutes. The editor, probably, got exhausted putting all this together I liked everything, except the beginning. Adam, of course, is beautiful in his dramatic mimicry, but this minimalist style on a white background...naah, almost lost me then. And why show the actual "ghost town" first 20 seconds if there's nothing more about it in the rest of the vid? That's pretty much all I disliked and it doesn't even matter) The clip itself is amazing. I personnaly expected exactly a video like that because the rhythm of this song is all about dancing. And Adam's friends are striking. The guys are a little weird for my taste, but the girls are awesome. Especially that one on the floor)) Sincerely I don't understand all this disapproval that's going on. Don't see anything bad in schizophrenic change of frames. It gives a necessary dynamics. Such a mad rhythm also will draw attention of casual audience and make people look on a screen. And the bridge part with all Adam's passionate body motions and face expressions. Isn't it spectacular? It's not that I'm all fresh and new fan and I'm blind from love and accept everything, no)) Didn't like NCOE and TFM vids at all) But this one is just so cool) By the way, somebody knows when to expect it on TV, on what channels? Especially, when it will filter to Europe? * Is it just me, or on 2:00 he looks like Will Smith?))))

I just thought, maybe it's automatic. twitter.com/shoshannastone/status/593300791433244672
