Factoids & Trivia
- "Peripheral Visionaries" is the second part of a two-video narrative. The story begins in "We Have Everything," another track from Young Galaxy's 2011 album "Shapeshifting."
- The video is animated and was conceived as a direct sequel rather than as an unrelated visual treatment for the song.
- Its central character, Jennifer, was deliberately written as someone who receives a second chance but remains drawn toward fame, vanity and the "unholy," reflecting the video's interpretation of the song.
- The repeated lyrical image of "tears from the eyes of God" functions as a thematic refrain in the video's unusual moral fable.
- Both "We Have Everything" and "Peripheral Visionaries" were selected for the official program of the Fest Anca animated film festival in Zilina, Slovakia.
- Contemporary coverage highlighted the video's deliberately bizarre imagery, including its transformations between a skeleton, a pink blob and a pop performer.
