    What I get from this video is total cohesiveness with the song, the beat and the drop. In my opinion, the music video is suggesting that "letting go is hard but necessary" as in conjunction with the song name "hard to say goodbye". The woman seems to be on a solo-trip, something that people do when they're stressed or in need of reflection. Then on the first drop of the music, a box falls out of her car in which she quickly goes out to retrieve it...seemingly sobbing. This might allude to someone's inability of letting go certain memories, physical objects or a person that isn't there anymore. "We keep driving away thinking that we're actually moving on but once we see on our rear-view mirrors that we are indeed leaving something behind, we rush out of our cars and run back the way we came, afraid of losing something we need to turn our backs on"
    Then towards the end of the song, the woman finds what seems to be a large bonfire in the woods and a wolf staring at her from across the bonfire. The wolf might symbolize "letting go or letting certain things free" as the phrase "running with the wolves" imply. The bonfire might imply a "total erasure" as to when some people burn pictures and certain objects as a promise to themselves that they've let go of their past demons and things that keep holding them back.
    All in all, my own take on the song made me cry. It's a beautiful work of art, something the world should relate to during these times :) Some things really make it "hard to say goodbye" because nobody wants to say goodbye.

    Beautiful video. I believe the wolf represented her guardian spirit, or the spirit animal of the person she lost or can’t say goodbye too. She was ultimately heading to finish all the pain she was feeling, and the rope was a hint, and her erratic driving. The wolf slowing her down by jumping out. All the stuff that fell out were his things, and his truck ie...the dent in the front fender might be what killed him, and having to open the door from the outside. As she makes her way up, the fire represent a symbolism of being reborn (Illenium ❤️), she can start again, and the wolf on the other side, he’ll be waiting on the other side for her, but it’s just goodbye for now 😭😭😭 Happy Lunar Eclipse, perfect night to have this drop. 💚🌑

    • @roykonings9203
      @roykonings9203 Před 4 lety +17

      I think the wolf could be a loved one who she recently lost. Given that she bought the rope, she probably wanted to commit suicide, maybe to be reunited with her loved one again (she does not want to say goodbye to him/her). How the wolf chases her and stands by the ring of fire symbolizes its loyalty to her, which never ends (just like a ring). The fire and the knowledge that the wolf will always be loyal to her could give her the warmth and hope she needed to stay and not commit suicide.

      @@chrishernandez992 You could also bring past hit music into the interpretation, because many written works refer to previous ones. In Shakespeare's time it was popular to invoke people or spirits from the classics or the Bible. In a subtle way this invokes "Ring Of Fire" by June Carter Cash -- made famous by her husband the late great Johnny. They acknowledged two ways of interpreting that one: Fallin' crazy in love, and going all the way after saying you'd abstain -- like eating an entire chocolate cake less than a week into your new years attempt to start eating healthy. The wolf represents the other person's wild way saying, "come away from the paved road into my untamed land," in some ways subtly invoking "Little Red Riding Hood." She turns back to civilization this time -- back to her course, having avoided the burnin' ring of fire. Mr. Cash sounded the Mariachi horns to tell us he FELL into it.

    I love the video! It's great to see modern music making meaningful and artistic stuff that's open to interpretation without being crude and disgusting. This could be part of an essay assignment in a university: "Interpret this in a well-developed thesis and write a proposal for your own similar project." Where was the video shot? It kind of looks like Snake River Canyon south of Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
