Video: Iron and Wine- Naked As We Came

I know that Sam Beam is trying to say something with this video, but honestly it's something that a lot of people have done and said better before. It's a muddle of death, renewal, things running backwards or forwards in time, love, food...The imagery is lousy with symbolism and metaphor but it'll be lost on most people. It's a nice enough video otherwise.

The only thing I can add is that death is often used as a metaphor for orgasm or sex. "Naked As We Came" could mean dying or, er, coming. "One of us will die inside these arms" helps make this clear, but also if you know that the French sometimes refer to orgasm as la petite mort: "the little death."
