Band of Horses- Dilly- Analysis

The video begins at equilibrium for the bikers and the town people at the beginning because neither have met at this point and they do not know that either one are a danger or anything has happened. This is highlighted through cross cutting as we see the bikers driving towards the town people, which will cause a disruption and effect the equilibrium. 

Disruption occurs when the bikers enter the bar and we see their reactions and we see that an event is about to take place. The recognition is that neither the bikers and town people like each other. The bikers try to feel up the females in the town. There is recognition is that they both don't like each other and realise that violence will occur.

Attempt to restore is the shootout. The hippies use their fingers whilst the rednecks use their guns. Hippies come in peace, but are faced with violence and so react.

New equilibrium when the hippies ride off into the sunset and the town is faced with devastation.

The narrative of the music video fits with the star image of the band and helps sell their star image as alternative, country rockers.
