Music Analysis- Owl City: Alligator Sky.

As the music video starts the shot goes from a close up to an extreme close up of the main singer. The shot stays like that for a good few seconds and by this happening you feel the emotions of the singer.
Although the visuals on the screen do not match the lyrics directly, they do in some sense because the lyrics are slightly on the unusual side and the actual video corresponds to it. At one point when the lyrics go "where was I when the rockets came to life..." you see a rocket blast off in the back while the singer walks through a deserted area in a astronaut outfit.
Throughout the music video there is no sexual reference at all. However because the music video is unusual this does capture the audience attention.
