ABOUT
WALKER SAYS OF THE SONG:
"OVER THE PAST FEW WEEKS I HAVE FELT SO MUCH JOY, UNITY, AND COMPASSION FROM OUR SMALL COMMUNITY. SINCE I PUBLISHED 'WALKERWORLD' YOU HAVE SHOWERED ME WITH KIND WORDS AND WONDERFUL THEORIES ABOUT WHAT IS TO COME. THUS, I AM GLAD TO SURPRISE YOU IN RETURN. THE SINGLE "HEART OVER MIND" FEATURES VOCALIST DAYA AND ALSO INCLUDES A BRAND NEW MUSIC VIDEO THAT TAKES US BACK TO THE STORY OF WORLD OF WALKER."
THE MUSIC VIDEO FOR THE SONG WAS DIRECTED BY MADS NESET AND HAS OVER 20 MILLION VIEWS ON YOUTUBE.
DIRECTOR NESET SAID OF THE MUSIC VIDEO,
"ALAN IS VERY AWARE OF THIS WORLDVIEW AND HAS TO FOLLOW MANY CHARACTERS, TIMELINES, AND VARIOUS ESTABLISHED THEMES, WHICH IS MOST ENJOYABLE. IT'S LIKE STEPPING INTO A VERY ESTABLISHED IP AND STAYING TRUE TO IT. I TRIED TO BRING THE VIDEO TO LIFE WITHIN THE WORLD THAT ALAN CREATED, BUT AT THE SAME TIME TO HAVE AN UNDERLYING THEME THAT I THINK WE CAN ALL RELATE TO A LITTLE BIT IN OUR DAILY LIVES"
MUSIC VIDEO
THE STORY DEPICTED IN THE “HEART OVER MIND” VIDEO SHOWS LIFE IN THE NEW ORDER IMPOSED BY RED NEXUS AFTER THE SOLAR STORM. THE AESTHETICS AND VISUAL NARRATIVE ARE CLEARLY REMINISCENT OF GEORGE ORWELL'S ICONIC BOOK 1984, SHOWING A SOCIETY UNDER TOTALITARIAN CONTROL. THE VIDEO IS LIKELY SET AFTER 2042, FOLLOWING THE EVENTS OF THE WALKERWORLD TRILOGY.

THE VIDEO BEGINS WITH THE AWAKENING OF THE MAIN CHARACTER, WHO LIVES IN ONE OF THE SOCIAL HOUSING COMPLEXES MANAGED BY RED NEXUS IN THE GATED CITY. THE RESIDENTS' DAILY LIFE IS RIGOROUSLY STRUCTURED - THEY WAKE UP AT 6:00 A.M. ALONG WITH AN IMPOSED MESSAGE OVER THE RADIO, REMINISCENT OF THE PROPAGANDA BROADCASTS OF 1984.
WE THEN SEE CITIZENS IN IDENTICAL DARK GREEN UNIFORMS BEING LED TO THE FACTORIES WHERE RX-8 DRONES ARE MANUFACTURED, BUT BEFORE STARTING WORK THEY HAVE TO PASS THROUGH A SPECIAL ROOM CONTAINING A MYSTERIOUS DEVICE - PRESUMABLY USED TO MODIFY OR DELETE THEIR MEMORIES. EVERY DAY LOOKS THE SAME: MORNING INSPECTION, MEMORY PROGRAMMING, MONOTONOUS WORK IN THE FACTORY.

OVER TIME, THE MAIN CHARACTER BEGINS TO SHOW SIGNS OF RESISTANCE TO MEMORY MANIPULATION. GRADUALLY HE BECOMES AWARE OF HIS SITUATION AND BEGINS TO SEE THAT HE IS A PRISONER OF THE SYSTEM. IN HIS MIND, THE HIDDEN MESSAGES ON THE WALLS OF THE CITY BECOME INCREASINGLY CLEAR - ONE OF THEM READS, “THERE IS A WORLD OUT THERE.” THIS BECOMES AN IMPETUS FOR HIM TO ACT.
HE DECIDES TO ESCAPE, BUT IS SPOTTED BY RED NEXUS PERSONNEL. DESPITE THE DANGER, HE MANAGES TO REACH THE BOAT AND GET THROUGH A SECRET TUNNEL OUTSIDE THE CITY WALLS. AFTER GETTING OUT, THE HERO COMES FACE TO FACE WITH A BRUTAL REALITY - THE WORLD OUTSIDE THE CONTROLLED ENCLAVE IS DESTROYED AND ABANDONED.
