Music Video of the Day: The Answers To The Questions by Chrystabell & David Lynch (2024, dir by David Lynch)


When Twin Peaks: The Return initially aired, Agent Tamara Preston was the character to whom I instantly related, for all sorts of reasons.  One of those reasons, of course, is that Agent Preston is the one who got to do all the research and write the book on life in Twin Peaks.  Another reason is because Agent Preston was both a competent professional and a self-amused femme fatale.  And finally, Agent Preston’s relationship with Gordon Cole reminded me of some of my most valued relationships.  Agent Preston was just one of the many pieces to the puzzle that was Twin Peaks: The Return but she was the one who I felt was standing in for me.

This wonderfully enigmatic music video would turn out to be one of David Lynch’s final short films.  Both the video and the song were made in collaboration with Crystabell, the Texan whose collaboration with Lynch began in 1999 and who, of course, played Agent Preston.

Enjoy!

Music Video of the Day: Take My Breath Away by The Hospital (2024, dir by Marcelo de la Vega)


Right now, I have a cold so I can relate to the song’s title.  It’s a good song and a straight-forward video.  No, it’s not a cover of the song from Top Gun that played whenever Tom Cruise looked up at the sky.

Music Video of the Day: Studio 54 by TTSSFU (2024, dir by Seth Lloyd)


Today’s music video of the day brings back some memories, though admittedly the clubs of Denton could not really match the legendary reputation of Studio 54.  Still, the important thing is that everyone’s a legend to someone.

Music Video of the Day: Look Up By Ringo Starr (2025, dir by Wyndham Garnett)


Today’s music video of the day comes to use from Ringo Starr and …. hey, this is the first 2025 video that has been shared on the Shattered Lens!  I’m happy to give that honor to the most likable member of the Beatles.

This song is from Ringo’s new country-and-western album.  Despite being from the Southwest, I tend to prefer EDM to C&W but still, it’s a nice little song.  I like the positivity of it.  I honestly feel like my prediction that the 2020s would be a lot like the 1970s is finally starting to come true.  People are tired of being depressed and stressed all the time.

Enjoy!
