The song works well, and the video is lovely, but I don't really think the lyrics work well with the images, from my interpretation at least.

the twist is that the accolades are all in the kid's head. it's not a massive twist, and i certainly wouldn't call it a surprise. but it's a twist nonetheless.


and regarding the comments that have remarked on the appropriateness of the visuals per the lyrics, i don't know that that's a requirement of all music videos. in fact, i would say it's rarely a requirement for most music videos. it's not a rock opera, the lyrics don't have to be acted out word for word. i would have been disappointed if all the visuals did was show a boy wrapping his arms 'round a skinny thing.
