For a song as haunting as Bailey James’ “The Crow,” it’s only fitting that the music video would have visuals to match. Switching between overhead shots of forest full of bare, winter-gray trees, James walking across a patchy grass field with crows flying overhead, and James around a house reminiscent of those built centuries ago, the video is able to capture the feeling of aloneness, of desolation and cold winter that the song’s instrumental and lyrics convey.
Added visual imperfections give the video an overall air that it’s older than it actually is; it’s a great aesthetic touch. James is also barefoot throughout the video, and that gives the viewer a sense that she is more connected to nature and the elements than most, comfortable enough to walk around without shoes on. It makes sense why she would sing of finding direction from a bird that can’t talk. The video heightens the song’s overall feel without distracting or detracting from it, and that’s all it needs to do.
