10 Best Rock Music Videos Of 2023 (So Far)
8. Running Out Of Time - Paramore
Have you ever been sat in a recording studio when the instruments come to life and start chasing you? The answer is probably no - unless you're Hayley Williams.
The Paramore headliner experiences this precise phenomenon at the start of the video for Running Out of Time, the fourth single from their album This Is Why.
Choosing to escape her pursuers by climbing into a guitar case ('cos that makes sense), Williams finds herself transported to a strange, Alice in Wonderland-inspired world.
This is where the production values of this video really come into their own, painting a picture of a gloriously insane world packed with oddball characters.
The creativity on show here isn't just limited to the Carroll-esque world. Williams gets transported to a weird room with spikes sticking out of the walls; to a desert when she's stuck in a circle of people; to a race track where she's forced to run.
It's one of those videos.
Williams is a total pro and her undeniable charisma carries the story along nicely. The video for Running Out of Time has loads of nice ideas to it and is as fun and bouncy as the group that stars in it.
