Departure at Dawn, modern version. Only the moment of the day links the separation at down typically represented in the alba and this modern video. Here, the song represents a personal disillusionment combined with a critique of society and has nothing to do with the romantic separation of lovers. Why then the need to represent such a separation? Yet, you just have to reduce the volume and use your imagination in order to recreate a modern version of the lovers’ separation at down. Could the accumulation of electric bulbs be interpreted as the accumulation of moments of separation at dawn?
