Beautiful People and Song of Solomon: A Shared Leap
David Guetta and Sia’s Beautiful People music video unfolds like a dream—bodies in motion, light shifting like breath, choreography that feels both grounded and transcendent. But it’s the ending that lingers. As the dancers take flight, I’m reminded of the final pages of Toni Morrison’s Song of Solomon.
Milkman’s leap is a moment of surrender and possibility, a gesture that blurs the line between flight and fall, between freedom and fate. The video’s closing scene echoes this energy. The dancers don’t just move; they ascend. They defy gravity, lifted by something beyond themselves.
It’s a striking parallel—one that speaks to the power of movement, both literal and metaphorical. Like Morrison’s novel, the video leaves us suspended in a space between certainty and myth, between what is and what could be.
