I think at the end Finneas was actually goin to the theater to see James perform. The billboard said James was performing tonight. It shows that those who we may be jealous of actually aren't as cold and they don't have anything against us, they may even like us but we choose not to see it. Sidenote, finn and James are good friends and no one should take this vid literally.

@@bananapie4344 And I'm okay with the life of the sunflower And I'm okay with the life of a meteor shower Compared to a meteor shower a sunflower is common and not as glamorous. He works in an industry where everybody is constantly compared to all the 'meteor showers' in the sky, the big stars, i think he is probably saying he's ok with living a more common life and is happy with being appreciated the way people would appreciate a sunflower, it's enough for him. But that doesn't mean he has something against being a 'meteor shower' like Finneas in this mv, he would appreciate whatever beauty / success he finds in life, he doesn't look down on the life of a guy like Finneas. He's not trying to be 'indie' or anything and be 'above' the mainstream. He's happy with whatever sort of beauty life gives him. The meteor shower line could also mean that he is ok with just having '15 minutes of fame'. He doesn't need to be a permanent star shining in the sky.

@@Furiosa247 i think it might mean that a lot of the popular artists in the industry love his music, from what I've understood both Finneas and Billie are fans of his music and there's probably a lot of big artists who listen to his music, with warning signs maybe he means that they warn him of all the bad parts that comes with making it big in the industry.

I grew up your biggest fan, I found your music at age 20 and instantly felt it in my soul. Told anyone that would listen to me about you, all the way back to Air and Lack Thereof. I had a really awful childhood where everyone that was supposed to love me hurt me. I grew up with a sick, twisted definition of love. I was so depressed for years and you and Tame Impala really got me through so much. Im 30 now and I've pulled through over the last few years and I feel so much better, but everytime I hear a James Blake song it sparks so many emotions and reminds me where I came from. Last November I got married to the man of dreams, and I'll Come Too was our wedding song. Now when I hear this James Blake song I tear up like I used to with Lindisfarne or or Why don't you call me, but now I cry happy tears feeling happiness and evolution in myself. James blake finally singing love songs and Justin getting married and finally happy, what a concept.

Have you noticed how they used colors to show the transition from a sad and jealous Blake to a redemptive one? Blake wears blue for almost the entire video, until the concert part (the redemption!) when he finally accepts his life the way it is, then the color palette becomes green. According to the color symbolism in western culture, blue may be associated with sadness, while green is commonly associated with healing and hope.

My brain couldn't even allow me to understand why anyone would love Finneas more than they love James Blake ......like why? I mean James' transition from where he once was to where he's at now it's much more of an interesting journey to fame and fortune than Finneas'. James used to have this way about him that made him seem like this closed off timid introvert who loves to focus on his beats and/or compositions and his content/depth in his lyrics, but when he speaks to people lately as opposed to some of his earlier interviews he's shown us how much more comfortable he is and he seems to be the coolest most down to earth guy in the music industry right now. I've always loved James Blake.

That _"Say what you will"_ at 3:19 was reminiscent of Jeff Buckley's falsetto. Beautiful.

Damn. This song is thoroughly graceful, soothing and satisfying. I’ve been interested in James but this song pushes me into fandom. An antidote to blandness.
