The is a narrative music story that is attended for everyone. The storyline is about a selfless mother’s love for her child. The emotions in the storyline can be applied to not just family, but also friends, lovers. The mother is like most other mothers in the world, preparing meals for her child, caring for her child, and more. The music video resonated with me in that my mom also cares for me by working hard to provide for the family and that she selflessly gives us attention and care. When getting ready in the morning, the mom is the one making breakfast, preparing her daughter’s lunch, and folding her daughter’s clothes. Throughout the whole music video, the only thing the mom did for herself was the scene where she was putting on makeup. The video gives a message for people to be thankful for the little things in our daily lives, it is so common that we tend to forget it. The video portrays a simple, yet resounding message the the public can relate to. It shows how everyday life is full of love, but this lifestyle can disappear one day, whether it is accidents or growing up. It teaches one to cherish what they have now and give back the things they receive.
Great analysis on the music video and how the mother unceasingly cares for her daughter even when her daughter complains. When I was watching the music video, it was glaringly obvious to me that the mom was very selfless. She woke up early, made breakfast, indulged her daughter, and made jokes with her. Yet sometimes her good intentions are misinterpreted. This is something I think everyone is guilty of, because we tend to not look at the small things in our lives that brighten it up.
I watched the music video first and didn’t expect that turn of events. I agree with your analysis that the love we receive everyday, whether its from small actions or sayings, can all perish one day. This makes me appreciate my mom even more and makes me more thankful for her selfless acts. This music video also showed me that I have to appreciate the little things in life because there will be a day where I can wish to go back but can’t.
