    LYRICS:
    I won’t let you down, no I won’t let you down. I won’t let you down, my love.
    Nikki, she’s got no flag to fly, but she don’t seem to mind that much, no she don’t seem
    to mind.
    And you, you’ve got your armor on. Nights out in babylon, yeah, nights out in babylon.
    But maybe all you need is someone to trust, maybe all you need is someone.
    And I won’t let you down, no I won’t let you down. I won’t let you down, my love.
    I won’t let you down.
    Now Emily’s got no tricks to try, but she don’t seem that much to mind, no she don’t
    seem to mind that much to me.
    And you’ve got what the whole world wants, so strap that armor tighter on, double on
    down like it’s gonna make you free.
    But maybe all you need is someone to trust, maybe all you need is someone.
    And I won’t let you down, no I won’t let you down. I won’t let you down, my love.
    I won’t let you down.

      @@wilkeath One visual trick they did use was filming in half speed (or something similar) to buy time for the choreography, then bumping up the speed in post to match the music. I dont fault them for it though, having thousands of people moving at the speed required at full speed would lead to accidents really easily. Half speed gives everyone twice as much time to get into position and sync their movements.

      AFAIK they weren't able to do splices or many takes, because the weather was so bad in Japan for weeks. It rain all the time and the drone couldn't fly in the heavy winds. They had a very small window where the sun came out for just some minutes. They did their try and succeeded. They trained parts of it indoors of course during the rain, but at the end, it was a real close call. I think you can see all of this in their making of, too.

    watching Ok Go's video always make me emotional. Doesn't matter which one or what the song is ever about something about seeing all the effort they put into their work and all the people that they bring together to make it happen and all the thought that goes into it makes me feel big emotions. Its like imagine how proud every person who participated in something like this feels to pull something this big off. Its like they always put together a great team every time they do something like this and all I can imagine is how good it feels to be apart of something like that
