Moby: Porcelain, Version 2

This alternative video for Moby's single "Porcelain", while not necessarily best known among audiences (at least this wasn't the one shown on TV here), it certainly works better while treating the topic of dreams which is present in the song, if compared with the one showing a giant eye having visions.

This one shows a metaphorical view of life as Moby is the passenger of a car without a driver and such car always gives us the impression of facing collision with other vehicles and places yet it's always saved at the last minute ("In my dreams I'm dying all the time").

Visually, I see it as a metaphor for trust and faith where you can sense the danger and the problem in a scenario but you firmly believe it you can succeed it with confidence and greatness as you trust in something or someone that can get you overcome anything. Also works as an observation we have during dreams where we face some dangerous situation but at the same time, yet we're somewhat comfortable as nothing bad can happen because we are dreaming - though we never see Moby sleeping or waking up afterwards, which makes a more mysterious experience to watch. Lucid dreams, basically, but if you never had any of those, this video will give you a fine definition of it all.

It's a great track of Moby, one of my favorites due to its calm and quiet nature, the kind of sound you can put in any space to create a great ambient sound, despite the sad reflections coming from its lyrics while dealing with dreams and failed relationships. Both this video and the famous one with the eye work in their own special way. If the other is more visually fascinating and enigmatic, this one offers a wide variety of interpretations - though production values look as a hurried production with ideas borrowed from Radiohead's "No Surprises" (a classic!). 9/10.
