When you put the words of a song together with certain images it often discloses the magik of the music industry.
A lot of artists will utilise videos by proxy. This is allowing "independent" producers to make videos for certain artists. The independent is not linked to the record label, this allows the record label to disassociate itself from the content/message.
Now with copyright laws being extremely stringent, especially on social media platforms, an independent video producer would not be able to make a video for song who's commercial rights were protected by the record label unless either the artist or the record label waived it's copyright protection.
If this wasn't the case you would have all sorts of whacky videos played over commercially successful music, and that is just not allowed to happen.
But you will find there are certain artists who appear not to play by these rules.
Here are two, the first example is by Depeche Mode. Masonic messaging at it's very best...or worst...depends on which way you look at it I suppose.
And second we have Mr McCartney. One song, three images.
Magicians hands, devil horns and a Phoenix rising from the flames.....hmmmm
