Oh, I'm still outta breath. LOL!

But after watching the video oh, let's say several, times, I was thinking about how each BSB has a significance, a sort of theme to his cheating...

AJ: Just being pulled towards it, not intending to, but can't help himself nevertheless. His battery truly was running low. He really was going with his Boys somewhere. But somehow, he was pulled towards her. I loved how they had it as if he was being pulled, slowly and in a way, lost.

Brian: I loved how he was in the supermarket. Followed her into the supermarket, but what's in there? A bunch of choices. Too many! So many tempting things surrounding you... this and that, poor Brian had to get out of there. It's very lovely how he seems bewildered, not wanting to cheat, but there you have it. Too tempting indeed. He's shot down.

Nick: I see Nick's as being innocence. He doesn't even know he cheated. It was just an innocent thing, truly it was, but the next thing he knows, he's crashing and getting burned. I loved how when the girl jumps out, the car spins out of control and Nick needs to right it, but he's unable to.

Howie: I really think D is cheating. LOL. He has to. And so Howie might be representing something very similar in that he's getting his coffee, and doesn't realize that girl is waiting for him, but she is and he'll fall into her trap. So check this, he doesn't -- at the time -- know that he's going to cheat, but when he goes to HIS room (the one Nick pounds on), he'll have to pass her and when he does, he'll be pulled into her web, without knowing.

Kevin: Ah yes, Kevin. Now at this point, he's in too deep. It's all or nothing, and he's just got to go through with it. He closes his eyes and takes the plunge. He survives, but only to find that his world is spinning and that accusations are sure to come. He runs downstairs, spiraling downward, and then...

Their girl finds out. The lie comes back to haunt and there's nowhere for any of them to hide.

Oh our Boys -- I LOVE THEM!! :)

Nice interpretation! It makes sense to me.

Wow, Clover...great analysis. You made me think of parts of this video in a whole new way.

If you think about it, videos are artistic and just like art the good ones should be open for interpretation. For example, the great paintings are always ones where 10 people can look at it and see 10 different things. That is the way I think about this video so remember that there may not be just one way to intepret it. People see what they want to see. That is why it is fun sharing, because (like I said above) opinions of others can make you look at it from a different angle.

Oh, I know, comebacker. I'm sure if the Boys read what I wrote, they'd be like, "not really." LOL. But thanks for the words -- that's sweet. Oceanbabe, I'm probably wrong in many parts as to what's really being said, but thanks, girlie, for that. shining star, my head is spinning. I can't stop watching the video and each time I watch it, or read what others have to say, I'm like, "oh my gosh, so true!" This video kicks, it so does. And Roksfallenangel775, girl, I don't know if this is what it is. I'm learning by the minute, by the second. But the little clues here and there, they really are deep.

What I've always been told is like what comebacker said, it's open to interpretation, and what's on the surface is not always what is there. We need to look at context and subtext and gosh, our Boys give it to us. Bravo to them and the director! It's an amazing video composition. :)
