Oxygen is the 4th and final single off Reckoner's debut album ,Invisible, which is to be released on March 15. The single is accompanied by a music video unlike its predecessor Scream. The music video, along with the music videos for Negative and Comatose, is directed by the band's close friend Dale Tucker. The video was shot in 4 different locations, an insurance office located in London,the London Heathrow Airport, a movie studio in Madrid, and the beaches of Ibiza.
Plot The video begins in the office with the camera focused on a ringing telephone and as Carl Morrisson begins to pick up the phone, the music plays and the camera moves through numerous cubicles until it reaches Troy Mascenon who looks through a stack of papers(given by JC Anderson) with a bored look. He then sings the lyrics while doing his job. After singing a few lines, he repeatedly looks at a postcard with an attached ticket for Ibiza given to him by a friend. He then gives up on his job and walks to his boss' office with the stack of papers and a neutral face. Troy intentionally drops the stack of papers on the floor and his boss gets mad at him. He ignores his boss and walks out of the building with the postcard and ticket like nothing happened while taking off his necktie and walking down the streets, slowly he begins to smile but still he is not happy enough. He is then seen inside Heathrow entering a plane. While walking inside the plane trying to find his seat, we could see JPC sitting on one side with earphones and Tristan Fuller on the other side conversing with a friend. He then reaches his seat and looks out the window, the plane takes off and Carl's guitar solo begins to play. After a few seconds Troy breaks out of his cage and runs to the back of the plane, opens the door and jumps for his life. While falling he still sings the song and for the first time, he is seen extremely happy. He then falls into the water and when he reaches the surface, he is seen wearing swimming attire. He goes to his band who are also in their swimming attire and the video ends with Troy smiling at the camera.
Explanation This is Dale Tucker's explanation of the video: "The video is about breaking free from the boundaries of your life. We can't stay forever doing something over and over and over again, we should always have time for ourselves or we might go crazy because of boredom. The man in the video is an average person living a normal yet boring life. The ticket to Ibiza is his one way to find happiness and he goes for it. His boss' was the hindrance to his happiness so he ignores what his boss' thinks and still pushes through with his vacation. The video ends with the man finally achieving happiness and if you see that part, I think it would make you overwhelmed with happiness for the man, that's what I was aiming for."
Band's reaction to another Dale Tucker video "We like Dale, we like his style in directing and his creative ideas about the video and that's what made us want him to do more videos for the band. Without Dale, we think our music videos wouldn't be that great, its like without Dale, there is no Reckoner, he's like the 6th member of the band and we would want him to do more music videos for the band and we don't care what anyone else thinks." |
