The main character is obliviously unhappy at his job. He works an office job and that can be very mundane and routine to the point where you being to live life without purpose. This is what the main character is feeling-a purposeless life. Everything is moving and transforming before this characters eyes from what is going on outside to interactions between his coworkers. This person feels alone in the world and there are times in which I felt this way; I still sometimes do feel that way but there is a saying that goes, "Idle minds is the devils workshop". I find that doing something you really enjoy helps takes your mind off of negative thoughts a person maybe having The first time watching the video and listening to the song and feeling this character, I already knew he was going to jump out of some type of window-It doesn't take rocket science to figure it out...There was line in which he said, "floating like a feather in a beautiful world"-this was a signifier for me of what he was going to do and it also signified for me his ways of expressing the positives...he believes that a beautiful world is possible and who wouldn't want to float like a feather? being so carefree... All in all, the video-depressing, the song-depressing, I however loved the instrumentals; it was simple and repetitive and I loved it...

Your responses are very general and it would have benefited you and your fellow interns if you gave a more specific and better articulated analysis of the video.

In my opinion, what I would say leads to low morale and/or depression, is what goes on in that person's life. For example, the person can be treated badly, abused, picked on, or some people can be very worrisome. To help my friend with there problem, I would sit down with them for hours and talk about what's going on, then try and give them the best advice that they can. I would do anything to help my friend get rid of depression, because if they don't get any help soon, it can lead to a serious situation.
