The audience feedback for the music video was overwhelmingly positive. They enjoyed the narrative storytelling, felt it captured the indie genre well with its dark themes, and praised the professional editing. Their favorite parts included the shocking kitchen scene and relaxing shots of the character laying down. The only criticism was some picture-like sections during editing issues, but those were later fixed. Respondents felt it compared well to other music videos with narratives and blood elements. Ratings were very high, ranging from 9 to 12 out of 10.

the music video?
• There was a variety of answers for this question but it is all based on personal
opinion and what stands out to them individually as the audience. Multiple
