And The World Was Gone by Snow Ghosts



This music video suits the criteria of the indie rock genre, as it looks fairly low budget, the lyrics to the song are sensitive and the song itself isn't found in mainstream music. I really like the kaleidoscope(?)  effect that is used in the video as it's in time with the beat of the song and suits the overall pessimistic tone of the music. I also like the extreme close up of the  eye closing to the beat of the music, although I think it is a little cliché it works well with the songs tone and lyrics. Furthermore, I really like the underwater shots especially with the light filtering through, this motif of  being underwater or drowning is usually associated with the end of the world or the end of something, another example of this would be in the music video Monster by Paramore.
