Music analysis 5

1. Tell your friends
By The Weekend
Matt Morphy

2. The third video of the series
begins with the same element
with which the second one ended
with which is fire. Not unlike the
devil holding an apple in the first
video, the viewers are treated
again with biblical imagery. In
Exodus 3, Moses encounters a
bush that is on fire but that is not
consumed by the flames. By
approaching the burning bush,
Moses ends up in a discussion
with God.In the video however,
The Weekend passes by the bush,
but does not engage in any kind of
conversation. Is he symbolically
turning his back on god? Has he
become a god himself? We then
see The Weekend burying himself
in the ground.

3. An interesting shot of that scene is
that it version of The Weekend that is
wrapped in plastic and being buried is
the one that is singing the song. We
see his lips moving through the
plastic.
He then starts dancing on the grave as
some sort of celebration.

4. We then see a familiar
character appear who
is walking over towards
The Weekend. The
Weekend then pulls
out a gun and shoots
him dead.
