This video starts out like a throwback to the fun videos of the 80s but it starts to feel progressively creepier as things develop. That’s always a good thing. Music videos should always leave you feeling somewhat disturbed, if just to make sure that you don’t forget that all good songs are open to interpretation. What may be a happy wedding song to you might be the world’s most morbid funeral song to me. Is the song the start of a new life or a reminder of the inevitability of death?
Enjoy!
What can I say, other than that I absolutely love this! It’s a great song and it’s a great video.
Enjoy!
Today’s music video of the day takes us straight into the beating heart of music.
Enjoy!
Melanie Safka, RIP.
Here is a musical and lyrical dream for you to start Wednesday with.
Enjoy!
Fear not! I’m not saying goodbye to anyone, at least not for a very long time. Instead, it’s just the latest wonderful music video from The Chemical Brothers!
Enjoy!
RIP, The Soft Moon.
Today’s music video of the day is the latest from Jennifer Lopez. Supposedly, this video was inspired by her wedding to Ben Affleck and her previous marriages. I like the idea of getting married in the rain. Rain makes everything better. Also, even if a bouquet is cursed, you should make every effort to catch it. Curses are temporary but celebrity bouquets are forever.
The divorce better get a music video of its own.
Enjoy!
Today, the Shattered Lens wish a very happy birthday to American filmmaker David Lynch! Today’s music video of the day was directed by David Lynch and originally released on the 75th birthday of singer Donovan.
Lynch and Donovan are both practitioners of transcendental meditation and, along with celebrating Donovan’s birthday, this video does end with an appeal for donations. Personally, I’m not really into meditation. I find my peace through making to do lists and then striking through each item listed throughout the day. My combination of attention deficit and hyperactivity pretty much makes it impossible for me to clear my mind. (That’s also why I can’t be hypnotized.) But to each their own, I suppose. David Lynch is certainly a strong advocate for TM.
Enjoy!
Today would have been Mac Miller’s 32nd birthday so today’s music video of the day is the final one that he released in his lifetime.
Enjoy!
