Good Day Noir Family,
From the moment Baron’s steps into frame, it’s clear this isn’t just another music video — it’s a performance piece.

“Doesn’t Really Matter” isn’t content with simply delivering a song. Instead, it unfolds as a layered artistic statement, merging music, visual symbolism, and social reflection into something memorable and slightly unsettling.
The band’s theatrical instincts are front and center — not just in their music, but in their visual execution. The video, shot entirely by the artist, centers on a clown moving through a rural, pastoral landscape. It’s strangely beautiful, intentionally absurd, and undeniably reflective. The figure seems to represent everyone and no one — cheerful and tragic in equal parts. It’s a nod to how many of us coped during the COVID era: with masks (literal and figurative), forced smiles, and surreal distractions.
Set against the backdrop of wide fields and open skies, the video plays with contrast. The clown — a symbol of humor and sorrow. There’s irony here, but it’s not just played for laughs. Beneath the surface, it feels like a quiet critique of how we dealt with isolation, boredom, and the breakdown of normalcy.
Musically, the song supports the visual mood perfectly. The rhythm moves like a march — steady, slightly mechanical, and tinged with a sense of weariness. The instrumentation doesn’t overwhelm; it underlines. There’s a hypnotic quality to it, a looping progression that mirrors the repetition of lockdown life. The vocals are direct and unadorned, making the message hit even harder.
What Baron’s achieves here is rare: a piece that’s both visually strange and emotionally sharp, theatrical without becoming melodramatic. “Doesn’t Really Matter” reminds us that sometimes, the most surreal expressions are the most honest ones.

Shot, directed and edited entirely by Le Baron de Vezeline, the official video for “Doesn’t Really Matter” is a surreal, handcrafted visual journey. No artificial intelligence, no digital tricks – only real humans, real animals, and real chaos. (Rest in peace to the bumblebees and the little cat Alpine, both gone since the filming…)
