This is the music video for the song "Follow You" by Imagine Dragons and this was released back in 2021, so it is not really new, but also not too old. At 4.5 minutes you can say that this is the regular duration for music videos. What is also the usual is Matt Eastin being in charge of the direction here. He has worked on my music videos by Imagine Dragons. I would not call myself a fan, but I think they have some nice numbers still and this one here was solid too, sometimes even a bit on the catchy side. What makes this even more interesting is the inclusion of Rob McElhenney and Kaitlin Olsen from "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia". Or actually they play themselves here, but this show is what the duo is really known for of course. At said show is still running after 20 years now. Impressive. However, I should not talk too much about the show because it is more of a personal thing for the two because they are also married in real life. Also for a long time. Good for them. There is some joking early on when the female gives a live concert of his favorite band to her man, but truth is it is her favorite band. Not The Killers. They would have been nice too here though. This little piece of humor is very Always Sunny I would say. Would have fit in with the show too. Like you essentially do good to others, but really do good to yourself and at the same time also to others. McElhenney surely did not regret being a part of this performance. Even if he leaves early. They leave early. Well, maybe not too realistic if you have your favorite band play for you to leave after one of ten or eleven songs, but maybe they can do the rest for some concert DVD. And if we are honest, the number was also not an aphrodisiac to an extent on a romantic level where their leaving would have made sense.

The two actor protagonists are also featured on other occasions, namely when they are shown to us as band members, the guy topless, the girl behind the drums. She is wearing quite the costume (or lack thereof being bald) and I did not realize right away before I saw her name during the credits. So yeah, it was a fun little watch. Interesting idea for a music video to get in some actors and comedy component. Which makes the song pretty short if you take a closer look. Or listen actually. But yeah, you hear the singing then also during the closing credits, so it is not super short. All in all, it is maybe not groundbreaking, but there was not a single moment when I had doubts that this might end up as a thumbs-down for me. I give it a positive recommendation and for fans of Always Sunny it is almost a must-see I guess. The only thing that could have made it better would have been DeVito to show up at the end and watch the rest of the concert instead of the other two. Even without such a sublime inclusion I say go for the watch here. It's easy to find on Youtube. Almost 80 million have done so already.
