Review For 'Badflower's' Music Video: 'Promise Me'



American rock band, Badflower recently released their fourth music video from their album, 'OK, I'M SICK' for the song 'Promise Me.' The video came out on June 13, 2019, and has gathered 554,837 views on Youtube at the time of this article. Being their newest video, I decided to go ahead and give it my honest review. The video will be linked at the end of the article.

The video tells the story of two lovers growing old together. It is a beautiful sentiment that the band handles well. We see it start out with the couple as children when they first meet each other in a hospital. They lighten the dark and gloomy mood of their location with childhood innocence and playfulness. This plays a huge part in the overall theme of the song and the video, which is living in denial of growing old.



The next scene cuts forward to when the duo are young adults, in a bar. The characters still maintain the same innocence as their children counterparts, further intensifying the theme. They're seen chasing each other around the building in a playful fashion.



After that, we seem the two of them at a carnival before they return to what appears to be an apartment. Upon arriving at the home, the girl begins having a heart attack on the floor. He quickly calls for help and brings her to the hospital, which brings the story back to where it began. This is a sweet, but sad touch as the last time they were seen at a place such as this, was when they were children. Now that he's back, Josh Katz's character has to finally admit that they aren't as young as they once were. The video ends with her waking up after what appears to have been decades of being in a coma, and finding him next to her. The two of them had officially grown up and were now in their senior ages. We seem him once again pushing her in a wheelchair, running through the halls of the hospital.




This music video did justice for such an amazing song. It was touching and tear-jerking at the same time. The band did an incredible job of telling a story and getting a message across. Katz did amazing in his role and made every scene look authentic. They lengthened the original song and added a bit more of the chorus to the end part, to further tug at your heart. I would say that this was easily one of the best music videos I've seen in quite a long time. Good job to Badflower.
