Apples - Thunder&Co.
Nociceptors are the sensory neurons which allow us to feel pain. They’re the ones responsible for letting us experience hurt.
Apples is the chosen single from Nociceptor. Giving you a false notion of optimism through the lively drums, flowing synths and the “drunk” encouraging crowd of friends on the chorus, Apples is a song about the empty phases of life, when you drink and get high for no reason.
That´s what the video portraits, the dazzling and gibberish symbology and imagery convey the state of mind while the intentional use of 3D reveals the naked truth about that altered state – a sense of void and displacement.
The nonsense that sometimes makes us wake up the next day feeling ashamed of ourselves.
