Apart from their functional transport element, elevators can be emotional, symbolic, and visually striking spaces. In the world of music, artists often use the confined space of a lift to evoke specific moods, from high-energy confidence to quiet, intimate connection.
Just like a perfectly directed music video, the right home lift does more than move people; it shapes the atmosphere, movement, and overall experience of your home. We’ve used some of the most iconic elevator moments in music to mirror the possibilities of a custom home lift.
1. Radiohead – Lift
In this iconic video, Thom Yorke stands calmly in a lift as the chaos of life, delivery men, businessmen, and children, moves around him. It represents the weight of routine and the feeling of being stuck.
- In a busy home, a lift should be the one thing you never have to worry about. It should be a pause from the chaos, not a source of it.
- Platinum Elevators ensures peace of mind for decades by combining Australian craftsmanship with premium European components. With our long-term local service support, we ensure your daily routine remains seamless.
2. ITZY – Dalla Dalla
The track opens with a distinctive elevator ding that has become a hallmark for K-Pop fans. The doors slide open to reveal the group in a moment of pure confidence and bold identity.
- First impressions matter. The moment those doors open, your lift should reflect your personal brand and style.
- A home lift can be a powerful design centrepiece. Much like the luxury residences we service across Melbourne, our Jewel Lift range is designed as a statement piece for those who value individuality and bold aesthetics.
3. BTS – 2.0 (Performance Video)
Using wide shots reminiscent of classic cinema, the BTS members inject humour and energy into a lift cabin, featuring a rapid-fire outfit change that requires significant room to move.
- A lift cabin shouldn’t feel cramped; it should be a functional space that accommodates your lifestyle, whether that involves a large group of people or moving furniture.
- If you need space without sacrificing style, our Royal Lift is the perfect residential lift for a family home, offering a spacious cabin and smooth, quiet travel.
4. The Weeknd – Secrets
This video is an architectural masterpiece, featuring multiple glass cabins and deep red metal structures that create a sense of dramatic mystery and visual tension.
- You don’t have to hide your elevator in a dark corner. With the right materials, the lift shaft itself becomes a work of art that complements your architecture.
- Platinum Elevators specialises in custom metal structures and architectural lift shafts, providing ideal solutions for homes with unique installation conditions where the lift is meant to be a focal point.
5. Disclosure ft. Sam Smith – Latch
The video highlights moments of intimacy and closeness, with characters sharing a private connection within the shared space of an elevator.
- Sometimes, the challenge is fitting a lift into a home where space is at a premium without losing that sense of comfort and connection.
- We offer tailored solutions for narrow shafts and tight corners. Our retrofit expertise means you can enjoy the luxury of a lift even in the most compact Victorian floor plans.
6. Marian Hill – Down
The lift becomes a character of its own, changing and responding playfully to the rhythm and bounce of the music.
- A lift shouldn’t feel like a standard appliance. It should feel like a crafted part of your home’s soul that responds to your lifestyle.
- Our lifts are fully customisable to reflect your personal style. From the walls to the flooring, we help Melbourne homeowners create a lift that is bespoke, not basic.
7. Zayn & Taylor Swift – I Don’t Wanna Live Forever
This moody video features hotel elevators with luxurious, shifting lighting that heightens the emotional tension between the stars.
- Lighting is the key to luxury. It transforms a functional cabin into a five-star experience.
- Elevate your home with our selection of designer cabin options, including specialised lighting, mirrors, and full glass doors that capture that high-end hotel look.
8. Raleigh Ritchie – Time in a Tree
The Moment: The lead character navigates life’s pressures as his environment grows and changes, eventually finding a safe, comfortable space within the lift.
- Your home needs to evolve as you do. A lift is an investment in your future self and your family’s long-term safety.
- Equipped with the latest safety features and innovative technology, Platinum lifts are designed for multi-generational use, supporting everyone from young children to those with increasing mobility needs.
