Experiencing Interruptions?

Trap the Moon - Color in Your Eyes (Official Music Video)

"Trap the Moon" is a band that formed in 2020. Whenever I listen to their music, I feel relaxed and transported into a world of imagination. The song "The Color of the Heart" evokes the messages of the heart and the power of perception. Although we may never truly know the colors that others see, we can create a shared space and empathize together.

In the film, the initial point-of-view shots of the characters are all in black and white, symbolizing our inability to perceive the unique colours seen by others. As the four members of the band embark on a journey and visit different scenes, they experience vivid and colourful scenery in their dreams. This transformation highlights the transformative power of music and how it can bring people together in unexpected ways.
