Prince - Sign 'O' the Times

REM - Everybody Hurts

Creating a further reading perspective of the song, generally used for dance/electro/techno music where the verbal text – if there is any – is repeated many times and thus remains extremely simple.


Radiohead - Just


Daft Punk - Revolution 909

To direct the expressivity of the song by creating a specific, guiding atmosphere. Images can bias the way the expressivity of a song is perceived, pushing its reception in the desired direction.


U.N.K.L.E. - Rabbit In Your Hedlights


Coldplay - The Hardest Part
