This video accompanies a cover of the song “Yes I’m Changing”, by Tame Impala. A
man stands against a wall, with video clips projected onto him and the wall. The clips
show mostly nature scenes, often drone shots. The videos at the beginning of the song
have blue-gray, overcast scenes, but they get progressively brighter and sunnier as the
song goes on, culminating in a view from above the clouds at the song’s climax. Just
before the video ends, the man walks away from the wall, taking the camera into a new
scene: an apartment overlooking the Boston skyline on a bright day.
The song’s lyrics are sung throughout the video:
I was raging
It was late
In the world my demons cultivate
I felt the strangest emotion, but it wasn’t hate
For once
Yes, I’m changing
Yes, I’m gone
Yes, I’m older; yes, I’m moving on
And if you don’t think it’s a crime
You can come along with me
Life is moving
Can’t you see?
There’s no future left for you and me
I was hoping and I was searching endlessly
But baby, now there’s nothing left that I can do
So don’t be blue
There is another future waiting there for you
I saw it different
I must admit
I caught a glimpse; I’m going after it
They say people never change, but that’s bullshit
They do
Yes, I’m changing
Can’t stop it now
And even if I wanted I wouldn’t know how
Another version of myself I think I found
At last
And I can’t always
Hide away
Curse indulgence and despise the fame
There is a world out there and it’s calling my name
And it’s calling yours
Girl, it’s calling yours too
It’s calling yours too
It’s calling yours too
It’s calling yours too
It’s calling out for you
Arise and walk on through
The world beyond that door
Is calling out for you
Arise and walk on through
It’s calling out for you
Arise and walk on through
The world beyond that door
Is calling out for you
