Blonde Redhead : "Silently"



This song is gorgeous. Blonde Redhead is gorgeous. "Silently" is some kind of love song, but its initial subject matter seems to differ with the dialogue and context of this video. The video tells a story of a woman, who witnesses a crime. And as we learn, she witnesses it incorrectly. Maybe she understands compassion after thinking on the the scenario the second time around. Or perhaps, she just couldn't bring herself to speak up against what had happened.

"Silently" is just one of many finely attributed music videos created by film director Mike Mills. His touch for the simple is showcased here; Minimalism at its finest.
