Thoughts on Momentum PV

[chikara]

I always wonder where some of the ideas come from in regards to ideas for different PV's from different artists. This one reminds both my wife and I of a slightly unknown Fairy Tale (sp) called "The Little Match Girl". credits go to Hans Christian Anderson for the story.

It starts out with a little girl who is forced to sell matches in a town, yet nobody would buy them from her and she knew that is she returned home without any money, she would be beaten by her father. The story, as well as the video brings tears to my eyes, but in the end, she lights a match and sees different images and the final one is her grandmother who says whenever a shooting star rockets across the sky, a soul is taken from earth, at that point a shooting star goes across the sky. She then lights all the matches because she does not wish her grandmother to leave her, as the grandmother is very kind and loving towards her. She is found the following morning frozen in a corner of the village.

Her lighting the candles and them blowing out and going dark in the video reminds us of this story, as well as the village. It is also possible these are only similarities between the PV and the fairy tale. Anyway, what do any of you think.....
