Imagine Dragons release music film for new single Next To Me

Imagine Dragons have released an extended music video for their latest single Next to Me.

The clip was directed by Mark Pellington (U2, Pearl Jam) and filmed between Los Angeles and Las Vegas.

ā€œThe film is a complex and slightly surreal fable about forgiveness and redemption. It is a story of a man, and a projection of one fantasy colliding with the dark realities of fate. It asks, can a person who has made a terrible mistake ever be forgiven by their loved one or even by themselves,ā€ says Pellington. ā€œIt is an ambitious music film, taking the traditional music video and breaking it apart, pushing it into film territory. I wanted to create something new, a narrative piece that was thematically complex and musical and I knew it needed to be longer.ā€

Vocalist Dan Reynolds added, ā€œI wrote this song about the strains of the relationships in my own life and the beauty of enduring love.Ā After late night conversations with Mark Pellington about life and his passion behind his vision for the film, we knew we wanted to take the journey with him.ā€

Next to Me is the fourth single taken from Imagine Dragons’ third studio album Evolve, which was released in 2017. It follows previous singles Believer, Thunder and Whatever It Takes.

Imagine Dragons are in the midst of their Evolve World Tour and they performed the first European leg in February and March. The band will next play in Brazil before returning to Europe in April.
