Chapter 110: Time Capsule

[Paradox's] music video, one which had been released on the same day the song itself was released, was one that was simple yet effective.

The fact that it was shot in a bar, an environment that was relatable to a lot of people, more or less put them in the same state of mind as the people in the bar whom had listened to it on that same day.

Curiosity and anticipation.

So, when the song finally started, with only the undiscernible figures of Kyle and the session musicians performing the song, the occasional strobe lights highlighting their features for a split moment as it cascaded around, it gave the music video a never ending feel of interest.

The film lens that was also used, made the colors of the music video feel less saturated and more realistic, giving a sort of retrospective feel to the video.

This was a decision that was deliberately done by Maria and her cinematographer as per Kyle's request, one which had him include something at the end of the music video.

In his words, 'I want the last part of the music video to not break away from that sense of introspection with the addition of it so, any way you can make it work, please have it done.' 

So, eventually, when the music video came to an end for the viewers, the strobe lights brightening up to reveal Kyle, along with Caleb, Maeve and Paul, all of whom seemed to have been enjoying performing the song itself, it gave the viewers, a sense of fulfillment.

However, what really made the video just as popular as Kyle's other music video, was something most viewers, never expected.

Just as the video was about to end, about thirty-five seconds was still left on playback before it ended.

And in those thirty-five seconds, was a smooth transition to a short clip of a homemade video from a smartphone of someone's POV, walking through a corridor of a neat apartment.

Eventually reaching a corner, the video's feed showed as a ball of crumpled paper, flew straight into the bin from said corner of the room.

Watching as the person in the video, picked up and unfurled the sheet, a few scribbled and canceled lyrics in it that were still clear enough to be seen, most viewers had realized, that it was the uncompleted lyrics to the song itself.

This had really made them interested in what was going to happen next and there was even a group of internet netizens who decided to amplify the image's resolution for more visual clarity.
