This type of Music Video, rather than featuring the band performing the song, is presented as a visual narrative. These can be original stories, homages to a favorite TV show or movie, or anything else the performer or director comes up with. The video can also directly relate to the story of a Concept Album. Concept Videos are a signature of the early-'80s "Golden Age" of MTV. Often these make use of Talky Bookends. Compare with Lyrics/Video Mismatch, where a music video has an actual narrative, except that the story is different or even not related to the lyrics. |

"Experiment IV", a horror movie pastiche in which a bunch of government scientists in a spooky military facility, including Dawn French and a pre-House Hugh Laurie, create an unstoppable sonic weapon. As you expected it might, the weapon, played by Kate Bush in a ghost outfit, rampages around and kills everyone horribly. Hoorah! | |

Delta Rae uses this for several of their videos: Bottom of the River: A crowd drags a woman (possibly a witch and played by Brittany) from her bed in chains. Only she survives. Dance in the Graveyard: A group of musicians in Dia De Los Muertos leads people to a graveyard, where the spirits of their departed loves manifest so that they can dance in the graveyard together. Scared: A couple (played by Elizabeth and Eric) attempt to run a con on a dangerous criminal. When things go wrong, the woman bolts, leaving the man to take the fallout. |

Imagine Dragons: The band spends their video for "It's Time" exploring a desolate wasteland of a city, and eventually launching an explosion that parts the storm clouds and sends frontman Dan Reynolds to the heavens. Their video for "I Bet My Life" has Dane Dehaan explore environments of sea, air, and land. "Roots" has Dan Reynolds reflect on childhood memories (represented via home movies) and exploring remote New Zealand locales in an attempt to reconnect with his past. See Imagine Dragons' entry on Lyrics/Video Mismatch for more examples. |

Jay Chou, now known for Kato, is primarily a hiphop/R&B artiste whose music videos mostly count as this - sadly, the big-budget FX and recurring Chinese gangland motif led to allegations that it was all done with Triad money. All bets are out the window if you can get a cameo from Danny Trejo, though. | |

"By the Way" by the Red Hot Chili Peppers had a very funny video about lead singer Anthony Kiedis being kidnapped by a taxi driver. The "Otherside" video from Californication casts them as characters in a German Expressionist film. It's very weird. And in "Californication" they were stuck in a video game. |

Journey's Steve Perry did two, the first, "Oh Sherrie", in which he gets fed up with his director's pretentious Shakespeare Heroic Fantasy-inspired Concept Video, stomps off the set, and sings the song to his girlfriend instead. The second is "Strung Out", a prequel to "Oh Sherrie" in which he meets the pretentious director and the clueless record company representative, and they rail-road him into the Concept Video idea. And Phil Collins did a Concept Video for "Don't You Lose My Number", in which potential directors keep proposing increasingly-trite Concepts for his next video. The video for Christine McVie's "Love Will Show Us How" is also about the making of a music video for the song. |

3 Doors Down has "It's Not My Time". The video starts with the car's dashboard clock ticking over from 10:12 to 10:13, as a mother and her child pull out at a traffic crossing, only for a truck to barrel towards the side of their car. The screen whites out, and cuts to a man standing on a building across town, looking at his smart phone as it ticks over from 10:08 to 10:09. The video then becomes a Race Against the Clock , cutting between the man doing Le Parkour moves to get over cars and fences and between buildings, as the video keeps showing clocks getting ever closer to the destined time. The man is desperately running down the street as the dashboard clock ticks over, throwing himself in front of the car Just in Time as the truck passes by inches behind him. | |

Wonder Girls has "Nobody". Back in the 60s, a popular Korean crooner finds himself suddenly unable to debut his brand new song due to... personal reasons. The producers' solution - put the five attractive backup singers in the limelight for once, and they sing it instead - and the song becomes a massive hit. The name of this impromptu new girl group? The Wondergirls. | |

Two of the singles from 1979's Lodger were promoted with these. "D.J." contrasts the public life of a Stepford Smiler radio deejay with the mental breakdown he's undergoing in private.

Bowie's final video before his death, 2015's "Lazarus", depicts him as an ailing patient in a hospital contemplating his mortality. Bowie passed away just months later, and the discovery that he was secretly battling liver cancer while making ★ (which saw release two days before he died in 2016) made it apparent that the video was a direct allegory for his situation. | |

"Best Friend" by Foster the People tells the story of a struggling supermodel who furthers her career by swallowing her fellow supermodels whole, and taking on attractive features of the women she ate. This starts to slowly warp her until she's unrecognizable and inhuman looking, and eventually leads to her death when she chokes on the dress of one of her victims. | |

Foo Fighters: "Everlong" tells a story involving bizarre dreams from which the dreamer can connect back to reality by way of a phone call. Also Dave Grohl's giant bitchslap of death. Combined with Evil Dead. The "Walk" video is an updated Whole-Plot Reference to Falling Down, with Dave Grohl in the role of William Foster: Grohl even wears the same outfit, although he's carrying a guitar case instead of a briefcase. |

Tom Petty's "Don't Come Around Here No More" adapted its visuals from Alice in Wonderland. Similarly, the video for "Into The Great Wide Open" tells the story of young rock musician Eddie Rebel (Johnny Depp) elevated to stardom by a Fairy Godmother (Faye Dunaway), with the band members having cameos throughout (among them, Petty himself with a massive fake beard as the tattoo artist in the opening scene). The video was shot during a break in production of Arizona Dream, and the song had to be extended to accomodate for more of the footage, as Tom Petty greatly enjoyed director Julien Temple's work. |

Three videos for songs on Waterparks's Entertainment, "Lucky People", "We Need To Talk", and "Not Warriors/Crybaby" are connected to each other, with the videos for "We Need To Talk" and "Not Warriors/Crybaby" having the most direct connections.note While "We Need To Talk" references "Lucky People", the end of "We Need To Talk" directly leads into "Not Warriors/Crybaby". This has lead to a lot of fan speculation about the videos being a meta-commentary on Awsten's relationship with his ex, with Awsten saying that he wrote "We Need To Talk" "very carefully and specifically". | |

"TT" has a pair of kids visiting a house apparently haunted by the Twice members on Halloween. "Knock Knock" has the members having a sleepover party that suddenly goes dark when they get locked out of the house in the snow and freeze to death. "Signal" has the members trying to win the heart of an alien boy. "Candy Pop" has the Twice members in an anime being watched by a little girl. "What Is Love?" is centered on homage to Hollywood cinema. "Dance the Night Away" has the Twice members stranded on a deserted island. "BDZ" has the Twice members on a rescue mission to free a group of creatures that were stolen and imprisoned by "disgruntled evil people", which resulted in the world being turned into a Crapsack World. "Yes or Yes" has a carnival concept. "Feel Special" has some Twice members being trapped in isolation until other members reach out to them. "The Feels" is a loose one themed around the Twice members attending the prom. "Scientist" (from Formula of Love) has the Twice members as eccentric scientists researching love while invoking some Mad Scientist-related tropes. "I Got You" has most of the members on a boat that gets caught in a storm. |

Nickelback's "Savin' Me" is about a man who gets pulled out of the way of a bus by a man we don't get a good look at, who immediately disappears into the crowd afterwards. The man who was saved starts noticing that people have numbers over their heads, and tries to figure out what they are. These mostly are very large numbers, but eventually he spots some paramedics wheeling an old woman out of a building, with a very low number over her head, rapidly counting down to zero. Wandering the streets, wondering what to do, he sees a young woman walking to her car, and spots her large number start rapidly losing digits and closing in on zero. He rushes over to pull her away from the car moments before a suspended object overhead falls down and crushes it. He heads off into the crowd afterwards, leaving the woman looking around in confusion as numbers start appearing over everyone's head. | |
