The music video for Andy Grammer's "Keep Your Head Up" lets you pick the way it unfolds... while you watch.
Interesting technology. Too bad the song is so cheery I had to vomit.

I chose the way it stopped. Does that count?

Why is Dwight from The Office in this video?

Cute concept, but the song is a little too Mraz-a-mataz for me.

I think it unfolds the same for most people. Loading, loading. Awful music. Close tab.

Yeah, yeah. I know. The music is pretty much Robbie Williams Lite. But the seamless branching of the video, being delivered across the internet... That's actually pretty cool technology. I wonder if it can find a quality application outside of this music video.

I thought it was fun! Choose your own adventure music video! The only drawback was, yeah, I couldn't really listen to the song more than once to check out alternate paths. I definitely think they should make a metal one where you can choose between BLACK MAGE and DEATH HAWK.

How was this supposed to work? It wouldn't load very well.
