He is a true, all-encompassing artist, with a clear vision for his work.Taken together, boundless courage, physical stamina and emotional resilience form the magnetic core of co-directors E. And lie to me With your lips upon my heart Tell me over and over How we’ll never be apart Say it soft Let your lashes grow Save me from the truth I deserve to be alone Rescue me Rescue me Pull me back to where I belong Let this be my final song Rescue me James Gillespie has a knack for delivering visuals that are charmingly simple at first glance, but subtly intelligent. He stands on the passenger’s side before circling around the car to go back to his driver’s position, destined to travel the same, flawed route again. Although, this time, the shot zooms in closer and we see the older man outside his vehicle for the first time. The video follows the car until it returns to its starting place, in the distance, under the large pylon. The track takes a moment of calm before bursting into the most fervent chorus yet.
#MUSIC RESCUE REVIEW DRIVER#
The car picks up speed throughout the second chorus, until the bridge where the driver finds himself at a crossroads. I’ve waited my time but Nothing seems to get better It’s not like you can walk the line And pray to what I’ve said here When you’ve been brought up by fire The rain can last forever I’ve seen too much, too young To know that there’s salt in every weather They drive until the second chorus hits, at this moment the mysterious second character quickly leaves the car, leaving just the bearded man. They drive together in seeming silence as the track builds momentum, and acceptance meets the frustration and dejection expressed in Gillespie’s stark lyricism. So why won’t you take my hand and rescue me? Rescue me
The chorus ensues as soon as the second man sits in place, potentially an indicator that he is the one who needs to be rescued. The new man seems to only be mysterious to the viewer, and while mild shock registers across the older man’s face, he seems unperturbed. The courtesy light turns on, and a second man enters the frame. The man drives through a poorly lit, remote street until he stops to let someone into the car. The setting changes and we are transported into the car, which is driven by a bearded, older man. James Gillespie © 2020Īnd it all falls down Every word and sound Coming away from you Coming away from you And on broken ground It’s no lost, no found Coming away from you Although, as the car begins to drive away, the accompanying beat introduces a glimmer of determination. At first, the gloomy and mysterious shot projects an air of dejection, which is cemented by the equally disheartened lyrics. The only signs of life in the first shot are two dim car headlights under a large pylon in the distance. Written, directed, and edited by Lukasz Pytlik, the “Rescue Me” music video starts under a dusk sky, just before the day turns entirely into night. Good God, I’m broken I’m out chasing my mind It’s given time to help me see What I’ve lost, I’ll never find It’s too far to follow I’ve got nothing left but night I’ve seen too much, too young To know what’s wrong and what’s right All that’s left is to pretend that you’re not until it all falls down around you.” The track is unfalteringly powerful and mysterious, and the music video is no different. It’s realising that you’ve been broken since the beginning and no matter what you do that won’t change. “It’s about wanting to be saved and at the same time knowing you don’t deserve to be.
“‘Rescue Me’ takes a deep look into a messed up relationship that’s entirely my fault,” Gillespie tells Atwood Magazine.
