Pink Floyd: Take It Back

The video for one of Pink Floyd's most commercially successful tracks opens with surreal imagery-almost resembling a wormhole in space-that gradually shifts into more earthly views of fields and forests. The film then alternates between heavenly and hellish landscapes, both on and beyond the planet. Throughout, we occasionally see people and a mysterious tree that seems to serve as a central symbol in the story.

Many of the visuals are presented from a flying perspective, creating a sense of fleeting moments and transience. The narrative is wild and the video carries a post-apocalyptic atmosphere throughout. It's visually striking-colorful, dreamlike, and often chaotic. In fact, the ending is probably the only part of the video that feels remotely "normal."

Impressive visuals and cinematography compose this brilliant video for the echological Pink Floyd song "Take it Back". I'm always amazed on how detailed and beautifully tragic this clip is with its images of nature and its eventual destruction by the hands of men with the lyrics always punctuating that one day she will take it back. In the contast fight for progress, we end up destroying the world which we were given and already knowing that global warming, temperatures rising and uncontrolled weather, devastation and pollution are just too much for mother Earth. But one day she'll take it all back all the beauty and sustainability she once provided. 10/10.
