The song may not hit quite as hard as Chameleon, but the music video is another masterpiece. Beautiful animation and storytelling.

An interesting video indeed, there's so much happening. I wasn't sure a lot of the time how they did everything. It seemed like a mixture of puppetry and CGI, but then again with the development of graphics it's hard to tell. The dog looked like a puppet, but the female figure looked too shiny at times to be a real object. The credits do mention "riggers" so I presume real puppets were involved, but maybe everything was given a CGI sheen to make things consistent.

In any case, the visible strings became a part of the story, the car driving itself, and the teddy bear being ponderous, but still controlled by strings. It's not a new metaphor, no-one being totally in control of their fate, with barely visible strings of our circumstances directing us, but here it was interesting and subtle enough. It's not a self-evident interpretation, but it's possible, especially considering the ending, the strings being pulled off and the characters finally moving independently. Heaven as independence or something.

This song is more fitting than the first, so I think it's at least marginally better than the first one.

@bushman66 completely agree with you.

More like King POO. 1/10.
It’s time to ditch the text file.
