Music video

The Jewels music video starts off with scenes of a woman lying on a bed of flowers and then cuts to scenes with the band playing in a completely black area. Some scenes emphasize a story between a man and a woman who no longer look at each other how they used to, with flashbacks of how it used to be. Other scenes are close ups of the bands faces and a guitar solo. Also, at first the music video is of low saturation, but towards the end, a light hits the camera and the colors become more saturated.
