- What is the strange netherworld between life and death like? Is it possible to communicate with the ones we love as they are slipping into the next world? If so, what might that person's experience be? Heady questions all, and impossible to answer -- but Blue Helix is bold enough to hazard a few guesses. The gorgeous clip for "Aliens", the latest single from the Washington State outfit, imagines a glance behind the veil. It's an ambitious work of speculative fiction from an emerging band that has never been afraid to shake up its audience -- or reach for the heavens. The "Aliens" clip begins with footage of a shirtless man racing through a forest path; we don't yet know where he's going or why he's traveling so quickly, but an aura of vulnerability hovers around him. Soon, he reaches a cliff overlooking the ocean, and as he comes to a moment of clarity we watch him take a leap of faith -- he turns his back to the water and releases himself into it. Only then do we realize the truth: he's clinging to life in a hospital bed, and his journey to the waterside is a metaphor for his encounter with the great beyond. His beloved kneels beside him and, against the odds, finds her way into his reverie. As she breaths life back into her soul mate, they emerge into Nirvana. Together they walk along the beach beneath fantastic skyscapes: enormous planets, nebulas and distant moons, and otherworldly colors streaked across the firmament. While the clip is mesmerizing and beautiful, it also contains a hopeful message -- the power of true love transcends space and time.
