Music videos

The first music video for "Safe and Sound" was self-produced and edited by the band and uploaded to their official YouTube account on February 24, 2011. It features alternating historical film clips of dancing and war from the last century generally arranged in chronological order. [7] Another video, directed by Jimmy Ahlander, was released on October 21, depicting the duo being led through a junkyard by a monk. [8]

The third and most well-known video for the song was directed by Grady Hall [9] and released on April 25, 2013. [10] The video is set in the Los Angeles Theatre and depicts Capital Cities performing on stage as dancers of all types (1940s swing dancers, 1970s roller-disco skaters, 1990s hip-hop dancers, etc.) emerge from pictures on the wall and film clips from different time periods in the theater's history come to life and compete in dance-offs. [9] It received a nomination in the Best Music Video category at the 56th Annual Grammy Awards. [11]
