    The beat. The lyrics. John Legend’s voice. The dystopian video. This is utter perfection….when MTV was MTV

    I love the imagery in this music video. The whole idea of the modern horsemen of the apocalypse riding BMX and in hoodies through some grimey council estate in the ends of London.
    Love it.

    One of the best music videos of all time and chilling how much it fits today (late 2020). Gave me chills back in 2011, but now...wow. Sorry if I sound a bit too much BTEC Media Studies, but have you noticed: the empty trains, plague (flies) attacking the older lady, the young woman coughing, the people looking out of their windows - afraid to go out, the crime, no community, the CCTV cameras, the poverty (man with water in his mug, homeless man), the coke can (brands and companies crashing), the woman under work strain, the financial crisis. The lyrics - pleading the Lord to show him something. CHILLSSS.

    The 4 horsemen (riders) of Apocalypse-white (pestilence), red (war), black (famine) and pale (death). Book of revelation 6:1-8. And the lightning in the end might be the anti-christ falling from heaven. Luke 10:18

    • @josephmokobake3882
      @josephmokobake3882 8 лет назад

      White= righteous conquest actually Amongst all these bad things, Jesus would still ride out in conquest. Red = war. Black = Stark famine, Pale = death and pestilence.

    • @yanapray1444
      @yanapray1444 8 лет назад +1

      The white stands for the anti-christ-wolf in a sheep clothing sort of speak. CHRIST returns after the apocalypse and right before the wrath. The apocalypse is a very high repentance time-faith will be crucial and no return will seize the walk by faith and not by sight 'mode'. JESUS bless :))

    • @josephmokobake3882
      @josephmokobake3882 8 лет назад

      yanapray The book says the rider was given a crown, which designates a kingly position. The other riders aren't given anything of the sort. And white robes are usually associated with righteousness. Read Revelations 19.

    • @yanapray1444
