Music Video of the Day: Future Shock by Marc Collin, feat. Clara Luciana (2019, dir by Marc Collin)

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

Both this song and the scenes in the videos are taken from one of my favorite films of the last few years, The Shock of the Future. A tribute to the women who helped to create electronic music, The Shock of the Future is a wonderfully inspiring film. Go watch it!

But watch the music video first.

Enjoy!

Music Video of the Day: Falling by Julee Cruise (1990, dir by ????)

Happy Twin Peaks Day!  37 years ago today, FBI Agent Dale Cooper arrived in the town of Twin Peaks to investigate a heinous crime.  Things would never be the same.

Sometimes, only the singer at the local roadhouse seemed to truly understand.

Don’t let yourself be hurt this time
Don’t let yourself be hurt this time

Then I saw your face
Then I saw your smile

The sky is still blue
The clouds come and go
Yet something is different
Are we falling in love?

Don’t let yourself be hurt this time
Don’t let yourself be hurt this time

Then your kiss so soft
Then your touch so warm

The stars still shine bright
The mountains still high
Yet something is different
Are we falling in love?

Falling
Falling
Are we falling in love?

Falling
Falling
Are we falling in love?

For the record, it’s tempting to credit David Lynch as director of this video, especially since it utilizes scenes from Twin Peaks.  That said, he’s never been officially credited as director and, given how documented his career became online, I have a feeling that, if he was the director, he would have been credited as such.  As an artist and a filmmaker, Lynch understood the importance of being credited for one’s work.  So, for now, this video’s director is listed as unknown.

Enjoy!

Song of the Day: This is Prom Night by Paul Zazza and Carl Zittrer

Today’s song of the day comes from the greatest Canadian film ever, 1980’s Prom Night!

Seriously, try to get this tune out of your head!  This should be the new national anthem.

Song of the Day: Free Bird by Lynyrd Skynard

I’m not even a hockey fan and I’m cheering right now!  3 Days ago, the U.S. women’s hockey team defeated Canada and won a gold medal at the Winter Olympics.  Today, the men’s hockey team did the same thing.

I have tears in my eyes and you better believe I have a song of the day.

Sing it!

(Arleigh picked this for Song of the Day back in 2015 and did a much better job than me explaining why this song is the unofficial national anthem of the United States.)

Free Bird

If I leave here tomorrow
Would you still remember me?
For I must be traveling on, now
‘Cause there’s too many places
I’ve got to see

But, if I stayed here with you, girl
Things just couldn’t be the same
‘Cause I’m as free as a bird now
And this bird, you’ll can not change
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

And the bird you cannot change
And this bird you cannot change
Lord knows, I can’t change
Bye, bye, baby it’s been a sweet love

Yeah, yeah
Though this feeling I can’t change
But please don’t take it so badly
‘Cause the Lord knows
I’m to blame

But, if I stayed here with you girl
Things just couldn’t be the same
‘Cause I’m as free as a bird now
And this bird, you’ll can not change
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

And this bird you cannot change
And this bird you cannot change
Lord knows, I can’t change
Lord help me, I can’t change
Lord I can’t change

Won’t you fly high, free bird, yeah?

(commence awesome triple guitar solos)

Music Video of the Day: Trucks Don’t Lie by Tyler Rich (2023, dir by ????)

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

It’s true, they don’t!

Today, as we celebrate America’s success in the Winter Games and as we get ready for what will hopefully be a big 250th birthday celebration in July, a song about trucks just feels appropriate.

Enjoy!
