Unspoken by LT
Directed by:
Johnny Lesnefsky, Bryan Talbot, Bryan Britt, Lundon Crow, Kaz Lefnsfsky
Written by:
LT!
Starring:
Johnny Lesnefsky, Bryan Talbot, Bryan Britt, Lundon Crow

A music video by American songwriting duo LT!, with Johnny Lesnefsky playing guitar and doing the vocals, Bryan Talbot taking care of the bass and keyboard, Bryan Britt doing the drums and Lundon Crow responsible for the lead & slide guitar.

 

So what does this video contain then? It operates as a montage and primarily features the musicians mentioned above using their instruments and playing the titular song Unspoken. Through frequent use of split screen techniques, viewers see the artists performing, each one in a separate screen and seeing them in action is rather cool. Talbot also worked on the editing and his work is quite creative, making effective use of superimposition in addition to split screen. Apart from the musical artists, there is a variety of images that are seen occasionally, including a young woman covering her mouth with her hands, a broken heart, an electrocardiogram and a triangular symbol that includes an eye. Regarding the song, it is a rock song about love, pain, connection and damaged feelings and the singing, guitars, bass, drumming and keyboards make it a rather enjoyable one, especially to fans of that kind of music. The cool beginning should be pointed out, with Lesnefsky placing headphones on the camera that is filming him, giving the idea that he is actually placing them on the viewer's head so they can hear the song

 

If one was to point out some negative aspects here, one might be the reasons regarding the presence of certain things. For instance, there is a brief appearance of pigs and a factory and the reason for this seems unclear and the same could be said about the symbol with the eye as although it is an interesting symbol, its significance is not apparent and it feels random.

 

Moving to the performances, the four musicians in action add a great deal of quality to this video as watching them work their magic and creating fine music is enjoyable and admirable.

 

The themes that are axplored here are to be found in the song's lyrics. Unspoken is about the challenges in trying to communicate and connect without words and the emotional pain that it causes.

 

This is a nearly-six-minute-long music video with an entertaining song. It shows the creative musical and filmmaking abilities of a group of musicians and helps promote them. People will most likely enjoy listening to the song and watching the artists perform and acknowledge the themes that the lyrics are attempting to communicate.
