Coldpaly's song 'Fix You' is an Indie song which is a slow song and it was filmed at the end of two concerts on 4 July and 5 July 2005 at Reebok Stadium in Bolton, England.
The song starts off slowly as the lead vocalist is walking towards the camera and singing to it. He is just wandering the streets of London and seems to be lost. This is quite boring for the viewer as there's nothing entertaining about it. It is a very beautiful song but the video starts off boring which can be a problem when dealing with slow songs.
There is a very random shot of a man waving a light about for about 2 seconds of the video. This is confusing and has no relevance to the video. I can only assume that it has been put in the video to try to make it look a bit more interesting but it doesn't succeed and it looks forced in and doesn't interest the audience.
In the next shot it is made perfectly clear why there are lights as the lyrics sing 'lights will guide you home' and he's walking along some streetlights showing the viewer that they are guiding him somewhere, most likely his home.
The video ends with the audience singing along to the song and enjoying the night. This shows the viewer that the song is enjoyable and will therefore grab the viewer's attention more. Although generally I think the video is very slow and doesn't generally grab the viewer's attention as it is boring. But the live scene is quite eye catching and gives the impression that the song (and the band) are really good.
Costumes: The lead vocalist is wearing normal clothes which has no significance in the song.
