"Brunch" is a Korean indie band, who seems to not have a music video for their song, "Imagine". But there is a very popular series which has managed to use this song in a very effective way called "There She Is!!". It's a 5-part series too so I would recommend you check out the previous episodes here (click on the third button at the top which will show up as "amalloc" as you hover over it), but the message in this video should still be clear without the context of the entire series. It really is worth checking out all the episodes though as it makes the final episode far more meaningful. You may want to download them from the website though because they contain the translations for a few of the episodes as opposed to Youtube videos like the one below.
Brunch - Imagine
Right! Now that you have a big lovely smile on your face :D (or a very odd look) the rest of what I say should easily please you. The lines "There isn't up or down" sums it up best because the whole meaning of this song is about how we should stop with this "this is good, that is bad" mentality, get rid of all these labels, and just let things... be. That's what I would like to take from this song at least. There is so much potential here too because there are a huge amount of specifics you can portray within this song like racism, religion, discrimination against a range of things, whatever there is that involves such conflicts.
The video itself deals with this very well as you may have noticed that the couple is a cat and a rabbit. Both of which could represent anything like white people and black people, straight people and homosexual people, the list really does go on. The bulk of the video is more of a collaboration of all the previous episodes by bringing together all the main characters along the cat's journey to the airport, but the message becomes quite blatant once you get to the airport scene (that part where the sign disintegrates is simply amazing).
So really I just have to decide if I want to base my ideas on something specific, or keep it vague and allow my audience to interpret the music video however they wish to. The second option sounds much better when put into words actually, but we'll have to see when it comes to that stage.
