That little snapshot montage about 3 quarters of the way through immediately made me think of the Adam’s Song video. This song has given me subtle Enema of the State vibes from the beginning, idk why...
What a perfect video. Whirlingly romantic with a splash of meta. The staging and camera angles remind of early 2000s videos from like the All American Rejects. Love the idea that they're just checking off boxes and one of them was "star in an early 2000s emo music video."
