Crossfire, el que fue primer videoclip en solitario de Brandon Flowers sin The Killers, ya tiene sucesor. El tema escogido como segundo single de su disco debut Flamingo ha sido finalmente Only The Young, uno de mis predilectos.
Para esta ocasión, ha dejado de lado los sucesivos rescates por parte de la guapísima Charlize Theron en los que se basaba Crossfire, para mostrarnos una propuesta totalmente diferente. En lugar de la sudafricana, este tema cuenta con los nombres del omnipresente Stuart Price en la producción y, en el videoclip, la dirección de la prestigiosa Sophie Muller.
Como si de un viaje a un imaginario mundo Cirque du Soleil vemos a Brandon Flowers rodeado de trapecistas y acróbatas que contrastan con imágenes suyas en solitario. Bajo una nebulosa abstracta, pero impactante, el videoclip se mueve entre ambientes espaciales, mágicos de cuento de hadas, bolas de discotecas y donde la naturaleza tiene un protagonismo claro. A pesar de que ciertos contrastes puedan chirriar, me parece un gran vídeo.
Look back in silence; the cradle of your whole life.
There in the distance, loosing its greatest pride.
Nothing is easy, nothing is sacred. Why?
Where did the bow break?
It happened before your time.
There were people there, lovely as you’ve ever been.
Tonight.
Baby you can start again.
Laughing in the open air; have yourself another dream.
Tonight.
Baby we can start again.
Only the young can break away, break away.
Lost when the wind blow; on your own, ohh..
Only the young can break away, break away.
Lost when the wind blow; on your own, ohh…
Mother its cold here. Father thy will be done.
Thunder and lightening crashing down.
They got me on the run, direct me to the sun.
Redemption keeps my covers clean tonight.
Baby we can start again.
Only the young can break away, break away.
Lost when the wind blow; on your own, ohh…
Only the young can break away, break away.
Lost when the wind blow; on your own, ohh…
And the sun will shine again.
And the sun will shine again.
Are you looking for a sign?
Or are you caught up in the light?
Hahahahaha.
Hahahahaha.
Only the young can break away, break away.
Lost when the wind blow; on your own, ohh…
Only the young can break away, break away.
Lost when the wind blow; on your own, ohh…
Only the young can…
Lost when the wind blow…
Only the young can…
Lost when the wind blow…
Hahahahaha.
Are you caught up in the light?
Hahahahaha.
