A song so good they made two music videos? On Jamie xx's "Gosh"

One of my favorite music videos of last year is Jamie xx's Gosh, directed by Erik Wernquist.  I love the sentiment of exploring space, especially in light of the recent Juno probe's successful rendezvous with Jupiter. The sweeping landscapes match the music's uplifting beat and makes me feel like dreams are possible. If you haven't seen the clip check it out below:

So I'm not clear on why a second video was created. The recently released clip by Romain Gavras has an equally engaging epic feeling but moves the theme and meanings of the song into a totally different space. Filmed in the Chinese city of Tianducheng, a Paris replica, the clip has a very different view of a future world.

Check it out below and put what you think in the comments.
