Farewell is better as a song than as a music video, but the lyrics and images combine to make for a stirring five minutes of viewing.
Written and performed by Orion, the track is dedicated to a friend of the band's drummer. It's about coping with losing someone to illness. The lyrics are very strong, seeming both despairing and healing at the same time. ("How are all these wires meant to help you?")
So strong, in fact, that I think the video could have done a better job of complementing them in visual terms. The words tell a story, but the images don't. Instead, we're given random shots of a girl sleeping in bed juxtaposed with outer space. The tone is right, and the music is so good that it almost doesn't matter what pictures you set it to.
