I kind of agree with you Tack-o-Rama, but I don't think it's necessarily that obvious that it really is about an actual zookeeper. I just get the feeling that's a metaphore for someone who's given in totally to all these ways of expressing emotion, instincts much like the ones animals have (fear or surprise makes an ostrich hide it's head for example). I haven't yet decided if I think this person, the zookeeper's boy, always has been this sensitive and if he hasn't had to encounter the superficial modern life before and now when he does (to look for this love you're talkong about) he's shocked by how industral people have become, they don't pause to wait out the rain (don't allow themselves to rest, grieve or feel at all because everything has to be so effective), or if he actually is one of all those people and the animal instincts inside of him was brought to life when he fell so deeply in love, and now he sees what world he's been a part of before he opened his heart and eyes.
It kind of makes me think of the Junglebook where Mowgli has to face his own species to get close to the girl he falls in love with. Does anyone agree?
Love this song. The video isn't that great though, sure It's beautiful and the camera work is wonderful but my favourite Mew video is She came home for Christmas. Still, Jonas is so sweet in this one. I love the weird thing he does with his hand, as if he's leaning against something that isn't there and sometimes it's this "Oh, behave!"-gesture.
I hope I made some sense, I'm tired and hungry. Aw.
