Tonight, Tonight

This music video is about a couple that embark on a journey in a zeppelin-shaped vessel, and they end up running into the moon. Once on the moon, the couple are confronted by a bunch of alien-like creatures that turn into smoke when they're hit. The couple end up disrupting the aliens and they must escape in a smaller rocket back to Earth, where they land in the ocean and are greeted by sea creatures, like mermaids and octopuses. I think the band and the filmmakers chose these images because they resemble early cinema and the backdrops that were created to make fantasy films. They are significant because at the time, film was new, and the experimentation of special effects like those seen in the video helped bring a wider audience to it. I think that this video is an homage to George Melies because he was the master of illusion and he created several films that resemble the music video, like "A Trip to the Moon", which has a similar set design and characters.
