Of course, with such a theme, we could expect something different, with a "real" story : long boats, vikings, battles... But this kind of video, a sort of little movie film in a way, is really really expensive to make. And I'm not sure it would be the best thing to do with Europe :
They are different, because they are so good-looking ! There isn't many bands who are both talentuous musicians and fine men... For my sake,I'm not disappointed to see Europe and only Europe in a video of Europe !
Another point : Europe is a huge band on stage, as we all know. So, a video where you see them playing live suggests that their job is to play live (there're not only a recording band, like some others...). So, this kind of video is a nice way to show who they are : good for people who still don't know them !
And last point : now that we know the trailer, we see that this video was a great instrument to make the promotion of WOK album. Very useful tool.
Surely that make expensive videos like an epic film is unthinkable, especially nowadays. It would not be the smart way, I agree.
I was thinking of a different approach, more space for imagination. Could be interesting to use shots of mystical harsh Nordic nature, just go to the exterior, or some shots of gorgeous night sky.. well, it is my deviation.. But I can imagine also a video where the guys have not worked at all.
In any case, it's great clip for the all new fans who don't know Europe so far. After watching they could come to the decision to see the band live, and that's important!
