3. Concept
Our video will be from the point of view someone sitting on a
bench watching cars drive through an intersection as the
sun sets. Someway’s lyrics tell the story of someone who is
stuck in a certain place or relationship and being torn
between staying where they are or leaving. The passing cars
will represent all the people who were able to leave or break
free and the setting sun will represent fleeting time and the
fear of not having the strength to leave.

4. Our video will be from the point of view of
someone sitting on a bench looking at an
intersection as cars pass by. This video will rely
on environmental elements of the landscape to
convey the different themes of the song, such as
the colors of the sky, rain, and passing cars.
Hook

5. Scene 1
The video opens with a scene of a
intersection as the sun begins to set. The
sky is a still barely blue as a reddish
orange sunset begins. The song starts and
when the lyrics say “Even if it means I’m
stuck here” the first car passes. The first
car drives by slowly and a second car
follows shortly as the lyrics say “You ease
my mind”.

6. Scene 2
As the lyrics say “All I see is light
inside this tunnel” more cars begin
to drive by at a slightly faster pace.
The sun is now almost set and the
sky is a reddish purple. During the
instrumental break after the lyrics
say “Don’t know where I got this
fantasy inside my head” the screen
is free of cars. More cars drive into
the intersection as the lyrics come
back in.

7. Scene 3
As the lyrics say “Here’s the advantage,
it’s why we can’t leave” the intersection is
filled with passing cars the sun is now
completely set. The sky is purple and blue
and begins to get cloudy. The clouds start
to come into the scene as the lyrics say
“Things always fall back in line somehow”.
The last car passes as the lyric “Someway”
is sang and the sky is now dark purple
with clouds.

8. Scene 4
The lyrics say “All I see are better days
ahead” and it begins the rain. The
intersection is now free of cars and as sky is
dark blue. The rain becomes steady as the
lyrics say “All I want is a happy ever after”.
The rain continues as the lyrics stop and the
video comes to an end. The final scene has no
cars to imply the chance to leave has passed
and the rain and blurred movement represent
the wavy and calm feel of the song.
