OK Go: Every Concept Video Ranked From Worst To Best
12. Skyscrapers
"Skyscrapers" is actually a pretty subdued video, visually, for OK Go. It's certainly not as meticulously crafted as "Needing/Getting," nor does it require the same kind of pinpoint precision. Still, it's a perfect example of the band's visual motif, using bright colors and a well-choreographed routine to heighten their melodies.
It's also one of the few performance pieces that doesn't feature the band in any capacity, which is strangely unsettling. And it isn't until about halfway through that we realize they're not showing up at all. It's going to be these two dancers for the entirety, and we have to be OK with that. We have to just...Go...with it.
"Skyscrapers" is one of the slower and simpler songs they've released as a single, so it makes sense not to have anything too raucous happening onscreen. Though, in true OK Go fashion, this video was also made available in 3D for those with a Nintendo DS.
