In summary, the end of the world in Fort Worth sounds like a stunt ... and it is ... but there is more to it than that. The premise there is salvation in music is based on an event that may just show in the finest way possible the style humans are capable of achieving.
When the Titanic was sinking, the conductor said to the orchestra, "Be British."
And so they played.
"The End of the World in Fort Worth" is my interpretation of that. There's no need for editorials on running out of water or getting eaten by wild-eyed ISIS people as the people in the video are getting poofed by demons from another dimension. No-one cares about global warming while you have to deal with demons from another dimension.
The purpose isn't to forecast some terrible thing happening but rather to say even if it does the salvation in music remains the same. What salvation lies beyond the end is for you to discover but that's not the same thing ... or maybe it is. Your call.
While, if I'm lucky, you may look at a video once, I look at them over and over and over, always looking for what would go better. I finally hit what bugs me just now and it's the walking around part. It has some coolness but mostly it's weird. I did it because there's an outstanding mural of some rampaging steers but you can't see that so well in the video.
(Ed: so shoot it again)
Right you are.
With that one done, I believe the intro end of the world part will be complete.
