Explore the Spooky World of Fever Ray in "If I Had a Heart"
Cowbag — February 8, 2009 — Pop Culture
I adore this video for Fever Ray’s debut single “If I Had a Heart.” The song is awesome, but the video is even better, an amazing theatrical piece of direction which totally rocks my world.
It opens with a spooky procession through water led by a burning touch, and gets increasingly strange. Empty swimming pools filled with dead bodies, singing skulls, murder victims, and strange artifacts all give the impression of a strange macabre circus.
