You may remember that this song plays over the end credits for American Outlaws. It was a good pick because the song has a real western feel to it. That said, it also has nothing to do with this music video, which interprets the song fairly literally. “Oh my God! They really are finding a baby!”
Today’s music video of the day is another emotional music video from Tove Lo. This is what I like whenever I watch a move about …. well, a movie about anything. It’s not that hard to make me cry.
Enjoy!
Try to play it cool I like you Have me in your hand Just like that Wish I never told ya It’s killing me to wonder
You give, you give me
Empty promises of love You’re an honest man when you’re drunk Wish I never asked ya But it’s killing me to wonder How long How long
How long have you loved another While I’m dreaming of us together She got the best of you Part of me always knew How long have you tried to end it While I’m blaming myself to fix it How long How long
Listen to my fears Not my friends They don’t tell the truth They like you Wish I never told ya (but I told ya) It’s killing me to wonder (I wonder)
You give, you give me
Empty promises of love You’re an honest man when you’re drunk Wish I never asked ya But it’s killing me to wonder How long How long
How long have you loved another While I’m dreaming of us together She got the best of you Part of me always knew How long have you tried to end it While I’m blaming myself to fix it How long How long I need to know how How long have you loved another While I’m dreaming of us together How long
I know love isn’t fair I know the heart wants what it wants There’s no way to prepare For burning brutal rejection I know it takes some time To feel the pain of loosing a lie
How long have you loved another While I’m dreaming of us together She got the best of you Part of me always knew How long have you tried to end it While I’m blaming myself to fix it How long How long I need to know how How long have you loved another While I’m dreaming of us together How long How long
If this music video from Dillon Francis doesn’t make you happy, I don’t know what to tell you. Who can’t enjoy a video about someone who finds a new confidence and a love for dancing?
The gentleman in the video is played by John Gemberling.
I see trees of green Red roses too I see them bloom For me and for you And I think to myself What a wonderful world
I see skies of blue And clouds of white The bright blessed day The dark sacred night And I think to myself What a wonderful world
The colors of the rainbow So pretty in the sky Are also on the faces Of people going by
I see friends shaking hands Saying, “How do you do?” They’re really saying “I love you”
I hear babies cry I watch them grow They’ll learn much more Than I’ll ever know And I think to myself What a wonderful world Yes, I think to myself What a wonderful world Oh yeah
To be honest, I originally just picked this video because I liked the name of the song and it reminded me of how, for one semester, I was friends with a guy in college who had a cocaine connection. He was very popular during the fall semester but then he transferred to another college and he didn’t bother to tell anyone where he got his cocaine from before he left. On the whole, that was probably a good thing since I don’t anyone in my social circle really needed a raging cocaine addiction but still, I often wonder if he realizes that, to this very day, his former group of friends still debate where he got his cocaine from.
Anyway, after I picked this video, I actually watched it and you know what? I absolutely love it. I love both the video and the song. Alice Martin is a force of nature.
Oh, the goodbye hug. The tearful break-up. The understanding farewell. The moment when you watch someone walk away and it becomes clear that the two of you will probably never see each other again. We’ve all been through that type of pain and, more often than not, when we remember the moment, we remember it as being in black-and-white. Selena Gomez was the perfect choice for this song, bringing truthful sadness and emotion to the lyrics.
This video was directed by Dave Meyers. Dave Meyers has directed a lot of videos. How many Dave Meyers videos have we shared on this site? I don’t know, I’ve lost track. Whatever it is that it takes to make someone into a good music video director, Dave Meyers definitely has it. This, of course, is actually the second video for this song. The first video has a sort of sci-fi feel to it. I prefer Meyers’s more emotional approach.
Remember when Selena Gomez shows up in The Big Short and explained how some sort of stock market concept worked. And some old lady said, “I like Selena Gomez, I’ll invest in whatever she’s investing in.” That was a weird scene and I have to admit that I still have no idea how the stock market works.
I usually don’t follow or comment on celebrity gossip because I find it to be tacky but I was happy when Chris Martin divorced Gwyneth Paltrow. I was concerned that she was using all of his Coldplay money to invest in making candles. I will admit that I kind of pictured the “Dinner Party” episode of The Office whenever I imagined what it was like to visit Chris and Gwyneth. “Hey, babe? How about we take the beer sign down until our guests leave and then we can discuss it.”
Anyway, enjoy!
We had that kind of love I thought that it would never end Oh, my lover, oh, my other, oh, my friend We talked around in circles and We talked around and then I loved you to the moon and back again
You gave everything this golden glow Now turn off all the stars ’cause this I know That it hurts like so To let somebody go
All the storms we weathered Everything that we went through Now, without you, what on earth am I to do? When I called the mathematicians and I ask them to explain They said love is only equal to the pain
And when everything was going wrong You could turn my sorrow into song Oh, it hurts like so To let somebody go To let somebody go Oh-oh (oh-oh) Oh-oh (Let somebody, let somebody go) yeah
Oh, oh-oh (oh), when you love somebody (oh) When you love somebody (oh) Got to let somebody know Oh, oh-oh (oh), when you love somebody (oh) When you love somebody (oh) Got to let somebody know So, when you love somebody When you love somebody
Then it hurts like so To let somebody go It hurts like so To let somebody go
But you’re still with me, now I know (Let somebody, let somebody go) Oh-oh (let somebody, let somebody go) But you’re still with me, now I know
