Wow, the visuals are fantastic. I don't like Amy's black&white outfit though- at first glance it reminded me of a pirate shirt. Please don't crucify me

Did not expect it to be 6:39 long at all! LOVE LOVE LOVE the intro. and even though I expected the whole thing to be darker but it still looks so good. the director has done a great work on visual effects as well.

I absolutely loved this. I got chills in the intro and part of me was dreading it ending because I knew what was happening next, but I feel they did it really well in the end so my fear wasn't warranted. The way she falls out of the real world with melancholic piano and into the rap was really well thought out. Imperfection needed that intro badly.
Also, aside from the obvious Amy loves water thing, I'm wondering if having everyone in the band drowning in this spinny, colourful world is sort of a metaphor for the feeling of drowning many of us get when we're very low. I was expecting the sort of going under swimming around for a bit, but they all look incredibly helpless, which makes more sense given the lyrical themes. I guess the chaos and colours could also be the whole guilt and frantic/panicked thougths that anybody would have if someone they love killed themselves. There's so much going on in this video that I can barely process it all, I feel like so much thought has gone into it on a much deeper level than most earlier Ev music videos and I love that. I could watch this video forever...

Is the piano intro the Unraveling track on the album?

Is the piano intro the Unraveling track on the album? I was wondering that. It would certainly explain how seemless the transition is if it was already pre-planned.

You're gonna hate me but I didn't like it much, makes sense since Sweet Sacrifice is not my favorite video, maybe I'll change my mind after playing it a few times, but at first glance, not my thing. The intro with Amy under the rain was cool, didn't care about the girl running around and looking around throughout the clip like she was lost, didn't like the constant zooming on Amy's face, didn't like the outfits, I thought the band was going to be integrated differently. Idk, not my cup of tea I guess.

Guys, I'm disappointed because I'm disappointed. The way it started was promising, really liked the idea. But after that, I don't know. I was expecting clearer shots of the band, and the graphics just don't blend well.

Weelp, I loved it! Just the aesthetic this video needed in my opinion.

I understand you. to be honest I expected it to be something close to Everybody's Fool video. It had the potential to be much darker but well I guess this P.R. Brown guy is a director who focuses more on creating atmospheres by using special effects and visualizing Amy's ideas by mental and psychological imagery rather than telling a dark story directly like in BMTL. SS and Imperfection have many similarities from that point of view.

*watches video for 30th time* Okay guys, you win. I think I like this song now. I'll even tolerate the rapping for that last chorus. They've just upped the game for me with this.

Intro was very promising but the overall video felt really flat. It looked cheap on some parts even. I guess music videos aren't really Ev's forté.

Pretty visuals. The only thing is that Amy looks like she is mad at the little girl the way she is singing and her gestures. Hah
