Music Video of the Day: Take A Picture by Filter (1999, dir. by Dave Meyers)


I like this song because photography has always been my thing so when I hear “Take a picture,” that’s the same thought that I usually have in my head.

When I first saw this video, I thought that all the things that happened in it were things that the singer wished he could take a picture of.  Plus, because the band was called Filter, I really did think that this entire song was about someone who loved taking pictures.  Later I found out that the song was actually about getting drunk and needing someone to take a picture so you would be able to remember what you did in the morning.  I like my version better.
