Let’s begin with that long opening shot that frames Danielle Haim within the piano and then pans to the left to find Alana Haim adding background vocals and bass and then Este Haim adding electric guitar before panning back to the right to feature Danielle again. Though this time she’s not hemmed in and isolated by the piano. She’s out in the open, no longer alone.
This long opening shot is exquisitely timed. Danielle is alone until in the video until just before Alana joins her. And once your expectations are adjusted to expect the continuing camera move to add more people and sounds, it swings around to include Este a little earlier than it included Alana. You expect a new sound, and the video makes you wait for it. Then it delivers a reverberating electric guitar that almost overcomes the entire song. But it doesn’t. It fades away and focus shifts back to Alana’s background vocals and then back to Danielle’s lead performance.
