Image of the Invisible

Today we'll be revisiting a band previously mentioned on here, but this time, it's a music video in the spotlight instead of an entire album (or two, as the case may be).

Song: Image of the Invisible
Artist: Thrice

The way I like to refer to this video is as a mini-movie. Meaning, there's more of a story/plot to it than a generic performance video. I also like to refer to it as "perfect", because all the parts of the song fit in flawlessly with the scenes being played out. Once you watch it, you'll see/hear what I mean.

The song itself is definitely one from the alternative genre, but some punk/rock influences subtlety shine through. Most of it is in a "call-and-answer" kind of antiphony, making it one to get stuck in your head for days to come.

On a side note, it's actually about invisible children (although it can mean a variety of things depending on your background and standpoint). No, not superheroes.
Here's a site for you to read more if you'd like;

But the video doesn't really have a whole lot to do with that it seems, unless I'm missing something.
