I was planning on just picking Christmas videos up until the 25th of December but then I came across this video of Lindsey Stirling and Pete Hollens performing the main theme from Skyrim Elder Scrolls and I simply knew that I had to pick it.
This is for Arleigh.
Enjoy!
I am a totally unapologetic fan of Lindsey Stirling. I imagine some of that is because I wish I could play the violin. It’s an instrument that has always fascinated me and I’ve always regretted that I never learned how to play it. I also regret that I never learned how to play the piano or really any musical instrument. Back when I was in the third grade, I had a music teacher who told me that I had the worst singing voice she had ever heard and that I needed to pay more attention in class. Oh well!
Anyway, this is a really nice and heartfelt performance of Silent Night. Silent Night is actually one of my favorite Christmas songs. I certainly prefer it to that one where everyone’s singing about the bells.
This video was filmed at Temple Square in Salt Lake City.
Enjoy!
If Sucker Punch had taken place during the Christmas season, one could very easily imagine this video as being a scene in the film. It just needs a giant ninja and Scott Glenn offering up words of pithy wisdom.
That said, what this song and this video do so well and what I love about them is that it provides a whole new spin to a very familiar song. Does the Grinch now own a casino or an Old West saloon? Is the Grinch now a gangster? And what exactly is the Grinch’s relationship with Sabrina Carpenter? This video leaves us with much to ponder during the holiday season.
This video was directed by Joshua Schultz, who has also directed videos for Juliet Simms and Haley Reinhart. According to the imdb, he’s currently in pre-production for a film called The Fog.
Enjoy!
Happy Holidays! Trust Linsdey Stirling to elevate one of the worst Christmas songs ever written with an energetic performance and an entertaining music video.
(I should admit that I have a personal bias against Santa Baby, one that goes back to my dancing days. Let’s just say that falling flat on your ass in front of a huge crowd of people while dressed like one of Santa’s helpers and while Santa Baby plays in the background is not necessarily one of my happiest holiday memories.)
Enjoy!
Some things that just have to be seen because they really can’t be described. That’s certainly the case with today’s music video from the day.
Coming from Russia, it’s IC3PEAK with the sublimely creepy music video for Death No More!
Enjoy!
This is a fun video and a fun song, which is why I picked it for today. I always think it’s a good idea to start the day after any election with something positive.
(Of course, not everyone agrees. I made the mistake of selecting Everything Is Awesome for my song of the day for November 9th, 2016 and there are people who still refuse to talk to me as a result. Even though I like picked and scheduled the song way back in October and I had absolutely no way of knowing that it was going to be the first thing those people would see the morning after Donald Trump was elected president. Anyway….)
(Seriously, I always tell people not to read too much into the songs and the music videos that I pick.)
The plot here is that Taylor is never ever getting back together with her ex, who is played by Noah Mills. Personally, I always thought that was wishful thinking on her part. You always get back together at least a handful of time before a breakup really becomes official.
Anyway, enjoy!
Eventually, all words will be replaced by emojis.
Hopefully, it won’t be as bad as The Emoji Movie.
This song is from Big Data, who put on a great show at the House of Blues in Dallas last week!
Enjoy!
For today’s music video of the day, we have more from Adi Ulmansky.
The video switches between shots Adi defiantly performing and shots of Adi defiantly walking down the streets of Tel Aviv. The important thing to remember here is defiance. This song, which features the American rapped KDC, was produced by Austin’s own Eric Dingus.
Enjoy!
How about some more Adi Ulmansky?
I like the apocalyptic, end of the world vibe of this video.
Enjoy!
My BFF Evelyn and I absolutely love Adi Ulmansky so I figured what better way to start a new month than with one of her videos?
What’s going on this video? I’m not really sure. Obviously, Adi’s in an arcade but what’s going on with the dancing bear? It’s probably best not to question too much. The important thing is that everyone appears to be having a good time and that this song appears on an album called Shit Just Got Real.
Enjoy!
