I don't know this source, which is fun for me because I'm literally making up a story (imparting meaning) to the images and sound as I watch.
So, in the first video, I got the sense that the main character should NOT have helped that child. That he carries some great responsibilities on his shoulders and maybe has to bear that alone. I don't know if it's the same child the shows up again in the video, but for me, that read as him forcing himself to ignore the childlike joy the kid was trying to share in order to keep up his responsibility. Watching the fireworks, and later, in the field of rabbits, these are rare times when he can drop the weight he carries and just *be*.
The second vid surprised me, in that, it seemed to tell the same story, but in a different way. It's like the first video was a poem, with sound and image that I had to unravel for myself. The second video was more a short story, with the lyrics adding a foundation for me to interpret the images.

Both were gorgeous!
