The music video, “Hello World” by Lady Antebellum is a powerful video and truly expresses the songwriter’s emotions towards the song. It reaches out to the viewers in a sensitive way with the life and death situation in the video. The imagery I pictured in my head when listening to this song for the first time was similar to how the video played out. The little girl is a strong character present in the song/video, because she makes the man realise about his life and to always love his family.
I don’t disagree with the production of music videos; I feel it gives the artists to portray their imagery of the song. With that said I think people should listen to songs with only their ears for the first time and then watch the video, so you can create your own images and feelings about the song and then observe the artists. Music videos make it possible to combine that side of art to the music and present it as great production of two arts. It’s interesting to see someone else’s imagery from a song on a screen.
A lot of music videos will incorporate the band performing the song with their instruments. It gives the viewer a chance to see the actual making of the song along with the imagery. Personally, I still prefer to listen to music without the video, just because you can really feel what that particular song means to you.
