This is a video for Jeff Buckley's first studio single "So Real," circa 1994. Quite frankly, it's about the most bizarre music video I've ever seen. I've seen it many times and I'm still not quite sure what kind of message they were trying to get across when they put together this footage. Between the ape costumes and the bicycle riding and Buckley's blatant 'wife-beater' tan at the end of the video when he's running shirtless in the street, not to mention the interlude with the people rocking out with bags over their heads, I'm not really sure how it all ties together and what it's supposed to be saying, other than simply manifesting an overly-conscious attempt to avoid the glossy, pretty-boy pop star label, which is why Jeff insisted on this song being his first single in the first place. Anyway, for what it's worth, here's the video.
