Music Video of the Day: Whatever It Takes by Imagine Dragons (2017, dir by Matt Eastin and Aaron Hymes)


Whatever it takes

I know I can make it through….

Oh wait a minute, this isn’t the Degrassi theme song.  Sad to say but there has never been an official music video released for the Degrassi theme song.  If there had been, I would definitely be sharing it today for Canadian Thanksgiving.

Still, this Imagine Dragons song isn’t bad and the video features a lot of fire and destruction, which fits in with our horror theme this month.  So, I’ll take it.

Enjoy!

Music Video of the Day: Silence by Vaughan (2020, dir by Olivia Sofia Ferrara)


So, technically, this is not a horror-themed video.  As much as I want to devote every day in October to horror-themed music videos, there aren’t quite as many out there as you might think and we’ve been doing this for a few years now.  (Actually, I guess I should say that it’s not so much a case of finding a horror-themed music video as much as it’s finding a good horror-themed video.  There’s maybe a thousand videos out there featuring a singer going on about murder while his drummer plays his practice solo but that doesn’t mean all of them are worthy of being a music video of the day.)

That said, this video definitely has an October vibe to it.  Between the soulful voice of the singer and the shadowy images, it’s a haunting video.  This song is about looking for love in a cold world and certainly, that’s what a lot of paranormal beings spend October doing.  One could imagine this song being sung by a ghost and that’s good enough for me!

Enjoy!

I guess this music video isn’t literally about a ghost in the middle of the street but it could be and that’s the important thing.  It’s October, after all.  The ghost have to be somewhere.

Enjoy!

Both this song and this music video just feel very much like the right way to begin the first Monday in October.  On the one hand, the landscape appears peaceful.  On the other hand, it’s hard not to feel like chaos is right around the corner.  It looks like a dream but it could be a nightmare.

Enjoy!
