This is a very unusual track. It actually sounds very peaceful to me and those bah bah bah vocals have a dreamlike quality. I don't associate musical elements with specific objects or images but with emotions so I'm visualizing a succession of clips conveying happiness in a very quiet way (could be close ups or outdoor shots but without internal motion) with no transition just clean cuts until the lyrics begin. For the rising chords around 01:45 I see a lot of motion and this time with shots of gleeful and joyful moments contrasting with the quiet happiness of the beginning. At 02:24 to me is where the melancholy kicks in and things suddenly become heavier than in the beginning which doesn't mean that the happiness goes away but it has even more meaning now that we look back at the not so happy times. The whistling notes at 03:10 are dizzying and the only thing I can visualize is the rapid passage of time that can be represented with the type of sequences you can see in some commercials or movies where the camera is stationary in one room but everything is sped up and you see people going in and out and the sun going up and down something of this nature. I don't know if it was helpful but this is how I visualize this track.
