Bat For Lashes
“Sleep Alone”

This is by far my favorite video from 2009, and I do not say that just because Natasha Khan looks incredibly, amazingly, astonishingly beautiful in it. Without being overly literal, the clip interprets and complements the song’s balance of deep loneliness and unwavering faith by presenting sadness and lovelessness as a necessary first step on the path to self-discovery and adventure. “For every high, there must be a low, low, low, low.”
