Hard to explain music video



Directed by Roman Coppola and Johannes Gamble.
The music video fits in perfectly with the name of the song.Which most bands fail to do.They try and be too smart about it or perhaps too subtle that the title loses all meaning.Bands love to be in the camera,showing off what they can do and how they live.But this video uses a tiny bit of the bands performance.Most of the video is a montage of random stock footage shots of things that could be considered "hard to explain".
Rocket science,space,planes taking off etc.
The video automatically gives the title context.

Nick Gordon-Bbc 1xtra street music advert.

Unfortunatly I cannot embedd this video
but I thought I'll share the link.
This is a beautifully edited video.
When muted it looks like random footage of youth culture etc.
But when the music is played in the background,the people are following the music.
The music becomes their language of life.
