At the start of the video there is a part of a concept music video as there is just dark mountains and then a sudden change to a little boy playing the piano. Panning around the little boy to show he is big part of the song and means something to the band members. The music video is quite random because there is a piano in the middle of nowhere covered in leaves which contrasts with the song better days as the lighting would be light to show hope and everything is going to be better however it is dark suggesting negativity. However the little boy playing the piano links to music visualisation as the piano in the background fits with the boy pressing the keys of the piano. Therefore this shows there is an element of a performance music video as the boy is playing a musical instrument.
Later on, the band appear playing their musical instruments as if it is a performance. Further on in the performance we see the stage light up and the band members are playing within a forest linking back to the child playing the piano with leaves on showing there is a link and it isn't just random. Then towards the end of the music video the leader of the band walks within the forest with children playing within the trees and when he saying “so take these words” there are positive words engraved on the trees with the camera giving a close up to show the words are important. By the end the lead band member meets the little boy who we see at the start giving a narrative that the lead band member is a role model trying to be like him. As throughout the video we see shots of both the little boy and the main band member and they look similar with their style of hair.
