Music Video of the Day: My Way by Frank Sinatra (1974, dir by ????)


This was filmed at Madison Square Garden, back in 1974. I’m sharing this on Presidents Day because I’m sure this is the song that most presidents would probably sing while being kicked out of the White House. We really should consider using My Way as the new national anthem.

Enjoy!

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


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)


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)


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)


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 ????)


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)


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!
