This is a story about the feeling of being lost, about the sensation of falling when you lose your calm, your safety, stability, harmony, and yourself. And it seems like it will never change.

låpsley 'Drowning'

Opening scene: A spacious bathroom. Near the window, there is a bathtub full of water with a girl in it. She's 25-27 years old, and her head is resting on the edge of the tub. We see the hand of an older woman sitting beside her, gently stroking her daughter's head.

Suddenly, the girl starts slipping underwater...

And we can see small golden fishes swimming in the bathtub

Looking a bit closer, those beautiful free creatures are locked in a bathtub and can't get out. They just swim back and forth near the girl.

The girl goes deeper under the surface, and the bathtub seems much bigger than it is.

With time, the water level lowers as if someone pulled the plug, revealing the girl. She begins to gasp for air with her mouth...

The bath gradually empties. The fishes can barely move, and the girl is just lying in the almost empty bathtub.

In the end, all that we see is one fish on the empty bottom gasping for air.

This one came into my mind while I was in the back seat of a taxi. I wrote it down and sent it to Aurora and her manager (no answer, of course).

This is a story about the limit when you can no longer hold on to the past and must let it go.

There is a girl who once had a great life, but her desire to achieve more compelled her to exchange that life for a new one. Years later, she still can't let go of the past. The images of being happy and free continue to chase her.

In the endless race of a new life, she reaches the apogee. Every emotion, pain, and sadness come out, and that moment of release finally sets her free.

Aurora 'All is soft inside'

Opening scene: From the passenger's seat in a car, the camera captures the road in a metropolis—sunset sky, city lights ablaze. Suddenly, a motorcyclist rides out in front of the car. It's a person in a black helmet and leather jacket. For a couple of seconds, he drives alongside the car, then accelerates and races ahead.

From that moment, the camera follows him. He moves very fast, his body tense, hands gripping the handlebars of the motorcycle very tight.

Inter-cutting: During the video, flashbacks begin, transporting us to a different town. It's smaller, with lower buildings, and it's quiet here. For the first time, we see a girl.

She is around 25, young and joyful, meeting her friends with hugs. There's a lot of light, close-ups, bokeh, and rapid shots showcase how happy the girl is in that moment.

Back on the road again, during sunset. A person on a motorcycle maneuvers through traffic. Occasionally, we see close-ups of a helmet, hands.

He is very uptight; we can sense it through the movements, even if we can't see the person itself.

Back in that cozy town, the girl and her friends stroll down the riverside, watching boats carrying tourists. In the evening, the drawbridge starts to separate, symbolizing pure freedom.

Together with her friend, they go to the roof and watch as the sun goes down beyond the buildings.

Then we see the metropolis. The motorcyclist stands on a road, waiting for the green light. In the helmet visor, there is a reflection of city lights. With the green signal, she starts to drive even faster than before, reaching maximum speed...

...and suddenly, he pulls over. He stops on the safe side of the road with a beautiful view of the night city.

In a flashback, our girl, all alone, comes to the bay. It's a huge open space with cold Baltic waves that lick her feet. She feels so well here, her face is calm and peaceful.

She takes a deep breath...

The motorcyclist screams without taking off the helmet. His body moves forward a bit, swaying slightly.

He's trying to scream with all the power.

When she finishes, she sits up straight and takes off the helmet.

We see that it's not a man but is the same girl from the flashbacks but a bit older. Her face shows us that she's tired but feels relief. She breathes in and out a few times to calm down.

Then she puts her hands on the handlebars. Engines on. She is ready to go.

And waves wash off footprints in the sand.

UNDER CONSRTUCTION tame impala

Tame Impala
'Borderline'

UNDER CONSTRUCTION. Oh wow, you're still here.

The main storyline here revolves around you (Thom Yorke, actually, but forget about him for a sec). You're both the hero of what is happening and the observer of your own life simultaneously.

Everything unfolds like in a dream. That's why it's shot from a first-person point of view (POV)—because all you see is your perspective. The synopsis features a person who's always on the move—you. You see your legs pushing against the ground, the setting (a city, road, clouds), and blurred people. You witness one event replacing another. Throughout the song, you see the happenings of your whole life unfolding right now and flashing before your eyes.

And there's a question: What if you never got out of that smashed car, and your life happened with you in a dream? What if you died years ago and just didn't understand it?

Thom Yorke 'Twist'

The opening scene (point of view): The camera follows the hero's gaze (your eyes). You see the sky and clouds, buildings, asphalt, and finally, your legs. You are a grown man standing in the middle of a street, and you start to walk. A bit awkward at first, but more confident later.

You see your legs as you walk, your body, and then your left hand holding an old teddy bear (as a symbol of childhood).

As soon as you see a bench, you leave the bear on it. A few seconds later, somebody gives you a guitar. You take it without stopping and keep walking, holding it—a beginning of the creative path.

Typical city surroundings: streets, cars passing by, walking people. Suddenly, you look at the sky—beautiful clouds up there, and one of them takes the shape of a mushroom cloud (like in one of Thom Yorke's songs)...
