Lyrics: The visual track of the music video is only a performance video of the band playing the song. So there is not really a story behind the video. But the lyrics tell a story of a breakup. The song seems to be about the guy being better off without the girl, hence the song title "You won't be missed"
I do believe that the visuals add new meaning to the lyrics. The vocalist of the band looks really pissed off on every part of the song excluded the choruses, so the visuals and performance shows that he is very unhappy with the relationship depicted in the lyrics.

Music: The visuals definitely provide a feeling of tempo, rhythm and texture to the song. The visuals in the video depict the band jumping, stomping and headbanging to the music. Even though there is no story in this music video I think that these visuals really enhance the meaning of the song by just showing the band playing the song and interacting with it.

Performance: I would say that this video mimics the band's concert performance, they are doing a performance video just how they would play a live show. I like this raw approach of keeping it simple and just showing the band doing what they do. I would say that the technical capabilities of the video enhance the performance, just with the high quality cameras and different angles used in the video. It really takes the music and band to a new level interacting with the audience. The band definitely appears just like I would expect them to, normal clothed guys with a few tattoos. That's the look for metal bands nowadays.

     I produced a pop-punk/metal hybrid song. This song is divided into an Intro riff, verse, repeat intro riff for one measure, then a transition to a breakdown. Then a transition to the second chorus (with harmonies), then the outro riff.
     At this time my visualization for my music video has been just been some type of performance video of the band playing the song, then switching to the story part of the video. And back and forth throughout the whole song. That's all I have so far but some fresh ideas will definitely come shortly.
