The Kooks- Naive.
This song is a narrative based music video. The song was the one that really brought the band into the mainstream of the video is brilliant shot and edited and fits in so well with the lyrics used with in the song. Lead singer Luke Pritchard wrote the song when he was sixteen years old.
The opening shot is him coming down the stairs he has his hands in his pockets and generally doesn't look very happy about something. He then walks on to the road then into a building next door it seems that he is looking for someone but we are not sure who at this point.
There is lot of flashback and cuts in the next part of the video .It then flashes to him in his room with a young female. The first shot of her is her not looking very happy and she leaves the room. Then it flashes back to the singer entering a nightclub. He is looking around and then there is flashback to the bedroom where she is looking over at him wondering what i am doing in this relationship. Then back in the nightclub he is still looking for her. Then it has flashback off a fight and rift slowly starting to build up in the realtionship of him and the girl. Back in the club there is a shot of the girl from the room having a drink which means he is looking for her.
It then moves on a little and shows a part where is he is helping as she is puking up. Back in the club she is trying it on with different men as the singer is finding blonde girls and not finding the right one. While he is doing this she has led a man into the toilets for sex knowing that it will hurt the guy looking for her. When he finds her he doesn't say anything and moves on. In the end he is with his band mates and realising they are all he needs.
overall the video is about the guy having a one night stand with the girl and thinking its love but she has different ideas and doesn't want to get involved but still wants to hurt him. So the morale of it is don't let love take over you and nothing is perfect.
