It starts off with a young boy sitting in front of a television watching old cartoons and flicking through the channels before coming across a music channel playing the song "Calm Seas.." As the music kicks in you see the young boy dancing and rocking out with his little teddy bear.. this is the first discovery of rock and roll. We then zoom into the MusicVideo within the MusicVideo.. to then reveal the same boy a few years later watching the same band (Our untold Story) playing on the television and playing air drums along to the track. The video continues in this style, working through different ages and as the song progress we see the boy in his teenage years, clearly putting music to one side as he focuses on girls.. to later find himself in a rut, surrounded by trash and dusty instruments, trying to write a new song - Finally after the realities of life have taken their toll and our antagonist reluctantly puts on a suit and tie we see him in the future, settling down with 3 kids to watch the same band playing on the computer.. The kids are all played by my younger siblings and the adult "future" me is played by my father. The message I want to portray is that no matter which path you end up choosing, chose the one that makes you happy, not the one you think is expected of you. And the proverb "Calm Seas Don't Make Good Sailors" means that it is the rough times that truly make you who you are, and make you all the stronger for it. See less
