Music Video of the Day: Oddities and Prodigies by Caroline Romano (2022, dir by Justin Key)

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

This music video reminds me of many a country night.

Enjoy!

I’ve got a habit
Of loving the tragic
There’s a
Hole in my jacket
But I. don’t. care.

It’s 3 am and I can’t sleep
And you’ll find me running down the street
With tears in my eyes
But I’m alright
Because I’m alive
And I love it

My teachers never understand
Why I make all these impossible plans

And I fall apart
And I love it

But that’s just who I am
Say what you want
Cause I don’t give damn
So baby
Call me when I’m dead
You say they dropped me on my head
But i think you must be misled cause
Oddities and Prodigies
Go hand in hand

This isn’t something they teach in school
And I’m not tryna start a trend
A revolutionary war
When I hear the record spin

I feel so bloody beautiful
When I’m lying on the floor

Cause that’s just who I am
Say what you want
Cause I don’t give damn
So baby
Call me when I’m dead
You say they dropped me on my head
But i think you must be misled cause
Oddities and Prodigies
Go hand in hand

What will books say about me
What will my friends say about me
What will my mom say about me
What will you say about me
What will books say about me
What will my friends say about me
What will my mom say about me
What will I say about me

But that’s just who I am
Say what you want
Cause I don’t give damn (extended)
So baby
Call me when I’m dead
You say they dropped me on my head
But i think you must be misled cause
Oddities and Prodigies
Go hand in hand

Music Video of the Day: Find My Baby by Moby (2000, dir by Barnaby & Scott)

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

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!”

These babies are all adults now.

Enjoy!

Music Video of the Day: How Long by Tove Lo (2022, dir by KENTEN)

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

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

Music Video of the Day: GO OFF (Nuthin’ 2 It) by Dillon Francis (2019, dir by The Dads)

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

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.

Enjoy!

Music Video of the Day: What A Wonderful World by Louis Armstrong (1967, dir by ????)

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

Happy Super Bowl Sunday!

Enjoy!

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

Music Video of the Day: Cocaine Blues by Alice Martin (2022, dir by Julian Bordeau)

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

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.

Enjoy!

Music Video of the Day: Let Somebody Go by Coldplay and Selena Gomez (2022, dir by Dave Meyers)

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

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
