10 Most Depressing Music Videos Of The 21st Century
9. Say You Won't Let Go - James Arthur
For the most part this music video is actually a lovely tender exploration of couples in love, Arthur strumming his guitar as a heap of loving couples show their appreciation for each other. That is before the final minute of the song, which is crammed in with images of dying and mourning old people.
Rather than being a celebration of the power of love and detailing how great love is, we are brought back to the horrible realisation that we will all die and likely be left all alone when our loved ones kick the bucket.
Instead of the uplifting 'love is great' message we are shown earlier, we are instead left with the thought that it's maybe best not to love as it will eventually end anyway and leave you miserable forever.
