Bad Life (Sigrid and Bring Me the Horizon song)

Last updated

"We knew we wanted something quite simple for the video, something that would emphasise the lyrics. We collaborated with Raja Virdi, and we ended on this dark, slightly surreal world of Oli and I on each side of a worn-down house, not knowing what the other one is going through on the other side. Oli’s such a natural performer, so I knew he’d be great anyways. I tried to treat the music video as a gig, in a way, moving up and down the stage." [13]

Speaking about the making of the video, director Raja Virdi went on to say:

"Life can certainly feel like a rollercoaster sometimes. I wanted to represent that feeling with Sigrid and Oli performing on a theatrical, otherworldly sunken set in the middle of a vast body of water, which suddenly transforms into a stormy and thunderous surrealistic visual with the eventuality of reaching resolution." [13]
