The video fits Orphan Black theme of lack of agency plus Janelle plays various characters in many of her videos including this one.
Infared - Placebo
paranoia
Cloud 69 - Lowell
A song for Cosima "Oh my god I think I need a girl friend"

Sanity Assassin - Bauhaus
Helena-ish
Night Reconnaissance
Rachel's song. "Nothing is crueler than children who come from good homes"
Soda Shop by Jay Brannan
Allison's song. I love how the lyrics have very 1950s/suburban imagery and is clearly about drinking that has gotten out of control. "the I don't know when to stop sock hop" Her drinking was something she thought she had under control but didn't, like a dance she was doing with herself.
Disparate Youth - Santigold
"where we go we go together" this song makes me think of the clones all working together, risking their lives for a common goal.
Low- Bummer
That moment where Helena is wearing a bloody wedding dress and Sarah is tied to the shower. yeah, And Allison Scagliotti plays two characters

Helena. So many lyrics for her. "where's your mother? fall down dead" "sister...catch yourself a looker let him go, go, go...I wanna have your baby..."
Dark Days - Jolie Holland
