Bastille - Oblivion (Official Video) [+ Review]

Finally, Bastille's 'Oblivion' has a music video (watch below) - and it stars none other than Game of Thrones star Sophie Turner, who portrays Sansa Stark on the hit HBO show. 'Oblivion' is taken from the Bastille album, Bad Blood, and it's certainly an emotional song. With touching lyrics 'Are you going to age with grace/ Are you going to age without mistakes', this particular Bastille song is one of their most poignant and thought-provoking - and their video encompasses all the emotion of the song perfectly. The video sees Sophie Turner portraying a young woman who wears a sports jacket and sings (lip synching) to a watching crowd before jumping in a demolition derby car and putting on her helmet. 

Whilst there are many different interpretations to a music video, from what we can tell, it seems to be that Turner's character may have lost her brother or other male relative in a derby car accident (hinted by the lyrics 'But oblivion is calling out your name/ You always take it further than I ever can') and is now mimicking his lifestyle in order to keep his memory close to her (by possibly wearing his jacket and surrounding herself in the atmosphere he surrounded himself in). Whatever your take on the video, it certainly has a quality that resonates within you, and it's always interesting to see what path Bastille's videos take, considering they tend to be quite visually rich affairs. So, feel free to sit back and enjoy Bastille's 'Oblivion' in all its music video glory, below:
