Like with Oz and Pink Floyd, there were multiple moments that felt so right, like when a dramatic "Oh" in both song and video sync up at precisely the same moment. Would the footage from the "Style" music video feel more at home to a Lana song?
Many thought it would have been a better companion to Swift's "Wildest Dreams," a song that has drawn favorable comparisons to Lana del Rey's music. The moody tone didn't fit the upbeat vibe of the song. When Taylor Swift released the music video for "Style" a few months ago, fans were confused. But just because the connection wasn't intended doesn't mean that we can't still feel it. The phenomenon is due to sheer coincidence and something called apophenia, which is described as "the experience of perceiving patterns or connections in random or meaningless data." We tend to focus on the moments that do sync up without giving equal attention to the parts that don't. Certain moments, like when the alarm clocks from "Time" go off just as Margaret Hamilton rides her bicycle on screen or when the cash register at the beginning of "Money" marks the exact moment Dorothy opens the door to Munchkinland, are so coordinated that it begins to seem plausible that Pink Floyd planned an entire album based on the film.Īlas, that's not actually true. Okay, now that we're all caught up, we can collectively marvel at how incredible it is that two disparate works of art can somehow speak to each other in such a visceral and convincing way. Have you every watched The Wizard of Oz, while listening to Pink Floyd's The Dark Side of the Moon? If you answered no, do it now.
