Music Videos

Have you ever seen a music video and thought, "What the heck was that?" A couple years ago I heard Florence+the Machines' The Dog Days Are Over and bought the album the next day. I liked it that much. There are some other great songs (Lungs, Cosmic Love) on the album but Dog Days is my favorite. The video is...bizarre. The song lyrics are a little odd and I thought the video might offer some clarity but no such luck. See for yourself here.

A few days ago I heard Ellie Goulding's Anything Could Happen on the radio. I bought the song on iTunes that night. I wanted to watch the video on YouTube to see what she looked like and see if the video told a story. The song kind of gives me the same feeling I get when I read Wuthering Heights. The video is confusing. Did they die? Was she the only one who died? Were they breaking up? Is she an angel? I just don't get it. See if you can figure it out and then get back to me.

I miss the days when music videos told a story (sometimes in tune--pardon the pun--with the song, sometimes not). So, since it's Halloween, I think we should all reminisce about Thriller and what an awesome, epic music video it is.

Enjoy the show and have a Happy Halloween!!
