The music video for "Blinded By The Lights" by The Streets accurately depicts the story told in the song's lyrics through its visuals. It shows both the actions in the story and the emotions and confusion felt by the artist due to the drugs. Shaky camera work and blurred shots portray how messed up the character feels. The video represents both the good and bad effects of drug use.

10. Faithless - Insomnia The video corresponds to the lyrics but not exactly to the story of the lyrics. The song is about an insomniac who feels trapped by the illness. The video shows the portrayal of the feelings and views of the man. There is links to the lyrics in the way that he talks about madness and there being ‘no release,’ this is portrayed in the video by the random images of a person in a mask and the artist walking backwards under an umbrella, these represent the madness he feels in his head. Also the composition of the majority of the video is in black and white, until the random images are shown, these are then in red, black and white to emphasise the difference and the randomness of the images. The black and white theme links with the lyrics as the artist talks about darkness and his search for the light. This is seen as most of the video is in low light and sometimes completely black apart from the artists head. The music and the visuals coincide too, the visuals are cut to the beat of the music most of the way through, this gives a good flow to the video. The music, visuals all link in some places of the video, the music has a two beat melody repeated in parts of the video when this melody is heard the visuals match the tune by using out of focus shots coming into focus at a past pace so it looks and sounds like the tune is making the camera go in and out of focus.
