Analysis of Music Video - All I Need - Within Temptation

This video follows a sort of narrative, has a lot of performance in it and is very abstract.
I think this video suits the band's image, which is kind of gothic and dark and a little bit weird. The song is slow and soulful, which I think contrasts with the strangeness of the video and the fact that he video doesn't make much sense but the song does is an interesting interpretation.
There's a lot of performance in this video mixed in with the weird abstract clips thrown in there. I think there's a little bit of a story there when the woman falls down and lands in some kind of mystical place where odd things happen. The most interesting part is the end where the woman is in a hospital cot comatose and clips from the video are shown on the machine. I think the point of this is that this is what she is dreaming about whilst in her coma. I also think the ending is interesting as it ends where she's still in a coma and, therefore, the viewers of the video will never know whether she wakes up or not. This is a good thing as it makes it a little different than if she did wake up and the typical 'and it was just a bad dream' scenario ensues. I also like this ending because it has parallelism with the first scene, which is a closeup of the woman's eye and is where the narrative begins.
I like how the fact that the mysterious figure is hooded makes the viewer want to keep watching to see what the person looks like. I also like how there's a lot of abstract images in the video, like random horses and ballet dancers and stuffed animals because it adds to the effect of the video, which is supposed to be in the woman's imagination. The part at the end where all the scenes are played on the screen very fast is really interesting as it acts as a sort of recap of all that we have watched.
