I like throwing the paint!


All these pop bands sound and look the same, even their videos. I know you people want to make money but really, don't you ever get bored of the cookie cutter? They always like to use the newest technology and this year has been big on the "still". Taking a shot frozen but being able to move around it. It's a cool visual trick and is great for music videos where you have a short time and want to keep the movement yet at the same time can imbibe it with a sense of stillness. It just tends to be used for the same thing. Emotional, overwrought power ballads. This video is not terrible, just not original or memorable. I think I'm going to start keeping track of videos with pianos in them and what percent will at some point involve a woman draped over it.... In this video I have to wonder about the dirty bandages on his hands; where the rest of the band is and what's with the sudden switch to bright coloured shirts? Oh there's some of the band, you'll notice in music videos women always play the strings. I guess those are girlie instruments and are okay by the largely male dominated music industry. It's still going....
