Odd music video

I found this video accidently while searching for some new Moby sounds, and was amazed by how perfectly the idea worked. Ignore everything which isn't the train track scene. Although there isn't much to say about it, I find it mesmerising and hypnotic, and watched it solidly for a good 4 minutes before stopping (it did get old eventually). The way that the track stays in the center of the screen constantly is fantastic, and creates a contrast between the apparently still path, and the moving images, especially the winding track, which has a vanishing point which never goes away, which is both weird and wonderful, making it seem that all the scenery is coming out of that point. All of this mixes perfectly with the track, which stretches endlessly, and seems to go on forever. There isn't much to learn from this, being so simple and straight forward, but I love the simplicity and uniqueness of it, although if there is anything to learn from it for my film, I will do my best to grasp it.
