Listening Man
"Listening Man" The Bees 2007
This is not a new music video but chances are you've never seen it or heard the lovely song by the UK group. It never fails to make my heart leap because of the way the simple story is conveyed so effectively by the two actors. Pay close attention to every gesture and expression they make. The way the woman looks differently at her boyfriend at one point and cocks her head. The gradual agitation of the young man. Also notice how deftly the changes in time and space and ambience are edited to suggest the theme. How one scene rhymes visually with the next. And how this is choreographed with the swelling emotions of the song. Directed by Dominic Leung, who also did the haunting "Mysteries" video for Beth Gibbons.
