76	!!Examples:
77
78	* BRoll:
79	** The music video of "20 de enero" has a live-action and an {{animesque}} part. Superimposed on the former, there's Amaia, the vocalist, performing the song. The story is about a girl who goes to sleep and lives a crazy adventure in her dreams. The protagonist is Amaia, so it's a tad surreal to see her in the B-Roll footage, just beside herself. It's probably on purpose.
80	** Several of the band's music videos from TheNineties and the early {{Noughties}} prominently feature footage of people doing mundane activities. Such as "Rosas", "París", "Geografía", and "Soñaré". Also, one song from TheNewTens: "La chica del espejo".
81	** "Europa VII" shows footage of key moments in human History --from the UsefulNotes/NaziGermany concentration camps to [[UsefulNotes/TheWarOnTerror terrorist]] bombings. The lyrics tell the story of a drifting astronaut who knows she's going to die, so she reflects how, from this afar, the Earth looks so tiny, its interpersonal conflicts so petty and inconsequential in the grand scheme of things.
82	** Quite a few of the music videos from the Leire Era (after the band changed vocalists) are comprised of random cuts of the band preparing for a performance -- all the way from disembarking the airplane to setting up the stage clutter. Examples include "Cuando menos lo merezca" and "Día Cero".
83	** The music video of "Las noches que no mueren" is entirely comprised of footage of the band members on vacation. Quite the MoodWhiplash, what with the song being about a person who has to leave behind her loved ones.
84	** "Camino de tu corazón" is comprised of footage of travel-related stuff (boarding, baggage, passports, etc.) with the song's lyrics and colorful filters slapped onto it.
85	** The POV character of "Cometas por el cielo" records InUniverse lots of B-Roll footage of herself and her girlfriend. They are on a road trip doing, you know, lover birds stuff.
86	** "Estoy contigo" has shots of elderly people either by themselves or being shown affection [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mask_(computing) masked]] over colorful footage of landscapes and urbanscapes. Since the song is about the determination to stick by loved ones suffering from Alzheimer, the masked footage represents precious memories being slowly erased by the disease.
87	* TheBandMinusTheFace: Many people thought the band's time was up when lead singer Amaia Montero departed the group in 2007 to pursue a solo career. They have been proved wrong: as of 2016, the band is still running fine with ''[[Series/TheXFactor Factor X]]'' alumnus Leire Martínez as their new lead vocalist, while Montero enjoys moderate success as a solo act.
88	* EverythingIsAnIPodInTheFuture: The computers in the video for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNbF4N3_xgI "Europa VII"]] are white and have a bit of RaygunGothic mixed in for variety.
89	* GriefSong: "Jueves" is written apropos Madrid's subway bombings. As such, it tells the story of a pair of StarCrossedLovers who confess their feelings right before they die. The song's overall message is that of mourning all the lost lives because every single one of them had their own spark and contained their own romantic or epic tale.
90	* IWillWaitForYou: "La playa" is about an isolated boy living in a beach house that falls in love with a girl, but it's just a summer love for said girl. The boy promises to always wait for her, but the girl never comes. In the end, the boy is already an old man and he is still waiting.
91	* LastKiss: "Jueves" is about a tragic love story inside one of the trains the day of the May 11, 2004 bomb terrorist attacks in Madrid, ends the lyrics like this (it is implied this happens after the explosion when everything's in the dark):
92	--> ''I find your face thanks to my hands\
93	I become brave and I kiss you on the lips\
94	you say that you love me, and I give you as a present\
95	the last beat of my heart...''
96	* ObituaryMontage: {{Inverted}}. The music video of "Jueves" features various Spaniards simply interacting with the camera (saying hi or making gestures) as a remembrance of those who died in the March, 11th bombings. It's a testimony of the life spark every human being harbors and that violence snuffles away.
97	* RecapByAudit: The lyrics of "Pop" recounts the chaotic, shallow life of a soulless Queen of Pop by describing all that she leaves behind --bills, alcohol, and tons of money. The song also explains how she became such a sensation --she has pretty hands, speaks French, is talented (she sings, acts, and paints), and has culture.
98	* StandardizedSpaceViews: "Europa VII" has a doomed astronaut as a protagonist. As she ponders over religion, politics, and philosophy, there are times when she peeks at the slowly-moving spacescape. The camera also pans to show a rocket-like spacecraft launching from a rocky planet and then flying through the stars.
99	* StarCrossedLovers: The song "Jueves" is about a man and a woman who confess their love for each other on a train... just seconds before dying in the terrorist attacks of March 11th.
100	* TomatoSurprise: "Jueves" (Thursday) tells a cute story of a girl who takes the subway every day just to see a boy whom she's silently in love with, until she finally gathers the courage to talk to him and finds out he likes her too. Pretty romantic. Then, in the second-to-last verse, she mentions that "this special day, March 11th" was when they declared their love to each other. On that particular day, a terrorist group set several bombs aboard four commuter trains in Madrid, killing 191 people. Then, the last verse states: "the lights of the tunnel go out. I find your face with my hands, gather courage and kiss you. You say you love me and I give to you the very last beat of my heart", implying that they were riding one of those trains.
