What are your favorite music videos?
8 years ago
Good music, great cinematography/artistry, and fantastic writing usually amalgamate to memorable music videos. Here are some of my favorites:
Miike Snow - Genghis Khan
My Thoughts: Gays pretending to be something they're not meant to be, spun in a lovers tale of Good spy, Bad guy. Clever concept, and fun to watch.
The Avalanches - Since I Met You
My Thoughts: As mentioned by the first top rated comment, "Simultaneously the happiest and the saddest music video". Smart story telling plays a big roll in this video, and the music compliments it.
Caravan Palace - Wonderland
My Thoughts: Make your dreams reality. You dream of being a bad bitch? Be a bad bitch. Pay attention to the transition of color pallets. (I opted for this Caravan Palace song over "Lone Digger" because the furry community as a whole has already embraced that video)
Stuck in the Sound - Let's Go
My Thoughts: Going along with the thoughts above, working hard for your dreams at the cost of losing out on living your life; there is a balance. The animation has a somewhat charming aspect to it, and they use that to twist the ending. The song as a whole is catchy but watching it with the video only amplifies that.
GUNSHIP - Fly For Your Life
My Thoughts: It blows my mind that this video isn't in the double digit million views. A strong message about hate as it depicts two fighter pilots descending into destructive chaos.
Mutemath - Typical
My Thoughts: A video way ahead of its time. In order to shoot this video, everyone learned and preformed the song backwards, the vocalist even had to sing the words in reverse to match the mouth movements correctly for the final production. I can only imagine what the storyboard for this video looked like.
Honorable Mentions:
Leslie Wai - Paradigm/Guy Collin's - Kaizo Trap
My Thoughts: Kaizo Trap, used in its broad term, is an extremely difficult video games, particularly of the platformers genre. This video takes it to the next level by having its main characters become part of the Kaizo Trap. Perfect timing makes this video a blast to watch and listen to.
Friendly Fires - Hurting
My Thoughts: Strange ideas, simple story, fun music. What's not to like?
There's more I could share, but this is going on a bit long.

I use to listen to that song on repeat and had no idea it had a music video.
