I think the outdoor lighting or color filter you're using works for the song and the video's story as well. Close-ups on instruments help add some flavor to the video and remind us that we're in a music video as well. I like the shot of the girl looking at the camera toward the end, as it helps to add that extra impact of heartbreak. I like the ending shot a lot as you zoom out on the sticks as well. I think the shots work for the song choice as well, as nothing feels rushed or too slow.
