Was it your idea to film a video about an organ transplant?Ĭapaldi: Yes, I came up with the idea and had the story for it. And from there, we got this idea, and we were able to write it very quickly.ĭK: I like the video for “Someone You Loved,” which is very emotional-it’s about a person having a heart transplant. I want to write about the feeling of losing someone in general, and have the story be broader so that people could make their own story of it.
