I really, really like the cinematography of this video. It just works for me artistically. The song is pretty good too.
Yes, melancholy is a good word for it. At the same time, it's almost a beautiful view of a short life. Music like this seems rare today. The lyrics really speak to me.
"The sharp knife of a short life, well Ive had, just enough time"
"If I die young, bury me in satin Lay me down on a, bed of roses Sink me in the river, at dawn Send me away with the words of a love song"
"A penny for my thoughts, oh no, Ill sell them for a dollar They're worth so much more after Im a goner And maybe then youll hear the words I been singin Funny when your dead how people start listenin"
