Interesting Music Videos

So I was mindlessly watching video's for the music I have been hearing on the radio. It has come to be the norm that the videos generally tell the story behind the song or tell a story similar to the song such as in R.E.M.'s Everybody Hurts.

Now this video doesn't tell just one particular story it shows that everybody does have a bit of misery in their life, and things could be worse. One of the more interesting videos I have seen in a while is the video to Of Monsters and Men's Little Talks.

The video seems to tell its own story of people on a journey through different perils while the song seems to talk about a journey through life bigger peril, which is the joys and pitfalls of love. These videos that seem to have nothing to do with the music behind it have been around for a while, just look at songs like Broadway by The Goo Goo Dolls. Broadway's video is kind of a commentary that each generation is the same as the last.

There is also the video for Internet Killed the Video Star by the post-newwave band The Limousines, which can be seen as a play on the fact that no matter how much people try and forget about the rock bands, from The Beatles up through Bon Jovi, we cannot forget them, because there works keep coming back to haunt us like zombies.

Another great video holds some of the more haunting guitar riffs, at least for me. The guitar riffs and the vocalization haunts you in a good way and the music video plays into the haunting affect the lyrics, vocalization and guitar riffs have together. The song is Dreams by The Cranberries which is most recognizable by the either the intro guitar riff or the vocalization on the exit of the song.
