“Walls Fall Down” is the first single of Canadian reggae-rock trio, Bedouin Soundclash’s third studio album. The song is typical of the band’s musical style, an alluring mixture of rock, reggae, and ska. It has a memorable chorus complimented by catchy versus and an excellent rhythm.
For the video, Bedouin Soundclash chose to portray themselves playing the song in a variety of environments, to do this they used the help of director Marc Ricciardelli. The final product depicts the band playing in several places, including: a recording studio, a party and a garage. The video appears to be one shot, and they have chosen not to hide the stagehands that move the set pieces between each set change.
The video works well to promote the bands laidback image, they are shown playing in many places, and in all of they seem relaxed and unaffected by the change. All of the band member, particularly lead singer, Jay Malinowski, and bassist Eon Sinclair appear to be immersed in their music. The video shows, through the various locations, that the band cares about its roots, from practicing in a garage, to playing at a party with their friends. The moving of the walls coincides/contrasts the walls mentioned in the lyrics to the song. Malinowski often mentions overcoming walls in the song, and the walls in the video represent the breaching of this barrier.
The cinematography in the video is exemplary, not only is it a one-er, but the many of the moments and angles captured are superb. The lighting is excellent, only showing a few feet behind the band members even during the set changes. During the chorus there is no set only a dramatic pulsating light, which brings power the simple chorus.
The video is a great accompaniment to the song, with its excellent visual experience and symbolic attachment to the song. “Walls Fall Down” can be considered the band’s breakthrough single, putting them in the number 6 position of the Canadian Hot 100.
