INCOMING MUSIC VIDEO REVIEW: Pop Punk Aussie Trio, With Confidence, came out with a music video for their third single ‘Moving Boxes’ off their sophomore album, Love and Loathing and we vibe with it.
The video tells the story of a failed love, triumph, and new beginnings.
The video kicks off with scenes portraying a man rummaging through remnants of his relationship, leading to flashbacks to the memories signifying the items as well as scenes of the band playing the song. The video, itself leaves a heavy feeling in your heart, as you watch this man packing up all that is left of his failed relationship.
SPOILER ALERT: Undeniably, the best part of the video is the scene with the teddy bear.
If you've watched the music video already, you know exactly what I'm talking about and you know that it's fucking genius.
The male picks up a teddy bear, then the scene transitions to him standing in a room with a life size version of the stuffed animal. At first he’s facing away, clearly symbolism for him unable to face his emotions and the reality of the break up. Eventually he turns around and comes face to face with the bear. My first thoughts as a viewer were, “He’s going to rip it up”(You know, because it's a Pop Punk songs, and that's what happens in Pop Punk videos). I kept waiting for it, but instead of going the angsty route as most pop punk bands tend to take things, he HUGS the bear. I’m telling you, that scene will give you chills. That moment was so powerful and so significant.
Moving Boxes is such a powerful song on its own, but with this incredible video to accompany it just makes it that much more of a hit.
