Replacements Analysis

This song's plot has very minimal things going on. The whole video is just staring at the stereo while the song is being played. There is one character who comes in but we can only see their legs, as the angle is being pointed down towards the stereo system. We see this character sit down and listen to the song on the couch while he puts his feet up. We also see him take a cigarette and smoke it. And then at the end he gets really angry for some reason and removes everything on top of the stereo and the music stops. The song doesn't really have a climax because the peak of the video is the end when he smashes it and the music stops which is the end of the music video. The video as a whole i think is trying to say that the band members or instruments or what they think about the song is irrelevant. All that matters is the music and nothing else. Its about sitting there with a cigarete (a symbol) in your mouth and enjoying the song while relaxing. I think its trying to say that there isn't really a larger picture or bigger meaning to the song but just simple the song is what it is and to enjoy it, not anaylize it-like im doing right now.
