As a helicopter pilot myself I have a completely different appreciation for this than most. Ofc the song is great, and I've loved it since it came out. But throwing in the helicopter shots, and the creativity of doing this on top of a skyscraper.... Unmatched. I'm also really glad that the editors didn't cut out the helicopter noise but instead let it remain subtly. All around a fantastic production! Awesome helicopter work by Fred North as usual!!
@elizabethmcpherson-lt9vh Жыл бұрын

Not just 1 helicopter, but 2 of them. If you look from 1:28 through 1:33 you can see both helicopters in the background. One is hovering in place directly behind him, and the other is panning from side to side below the stationary one. Huge props to both pilots for keeping things safe and stable while battling the wind-sheer coming up the side of the building.

I haven't listened to "every" song he's done yet, like 85% of them going through his KZbin channel. But, I think the reason he didn't win is because his work isn't actually "good"... He only has "3" actually GOOD songs in my opinion. This song, "In your Eyes", and "Save your Tears".... These songs are what real High-Quality music looks like in my view. These are also some of his latest. So, maybe he'll get it next time if he keeps making songs like these. None of his other stuff in my view is any good as to what I've heard save "Starboy" could have been good, but the vulgarity and say "ah" and "ya" too much ruined it, just poor writing. BTW, I'm a singer who sings like George Michael, Pavarotti, and Josh Groban... so yes, I know what really good singers and songs sound like, ones that deserve rewards. There isn't a lot of good quality out these days. People like FAR too much bad music like this guy's other stuff.

Dont follow him blindly he has sold his soul to devil. Understand the lyrics of this song and other songs. Watch video of his songs. Why he is using Red colour in his videos why not any other colour. Red colour depicts Devil. Watch the video of his song Heartless where he turned in to a reptile. Understand the lyrics of that song and know the real satanic agenda behind all this. Open your eyes people before its too late.
