Picture this: you’re sitting on the bus, whiling away the time, listening to your favourite tunes. The introductory notes of a certain song chime in your headphones, waking your dormant imagination. Whirring to life, it invents a hyper realistic dramatisation of the song’s melody, to which only you are privy. You have mentally plucked yourself out of the confines of the bus and landed in your very own imaginary music video.

It is not every song that can cause such potent daydreams, so, obviously, it was necessary to compile a list of those that can.

‘Fireworks’ by First Aid Kit was clearly created with this list in mind, its sombre harmonies evoking high production values. With a chorus line as devastating as “why do I do this to myself?”, this track will incite a grandiose illusion in which your sorrow has been distilled into a short video clip – an efficient alternative to crying alone in your bedroom.

The triumphant ‘Upside Down’ by Paloma Faith is the perfect reprieve from your ‘Fireworks’ induced sadness. You’ll want a camera crew to be filming every joyous skip and shimmy you make whilst listening to this song.

The essential dance anthem of the broken hearted, Robyn’s ‘Dancing on My Own’ is pure imaginary-music-video fodder. Its punchy beat will dare you to harness your victimisation, mentally transforming it into a spirited production complete with a visceral fight scene – the ultimate catharsis in the face of rejection.
