I really love to listen to a wide variety of music. Beethoven, Biz Markie, Salieri, Nina Simone, etc. but I just… never really watched Music Videos until recently. I am astounded that I simply missed out on decades of visual feast. Nine Inch Nails - Closer. George Michael, Freedom '90, an entire decade of MIssy Ellliot nonsense, and of course Aha.
What, in your opinion, is the best music video that you are sure I will like? I’m old, as evidenced by my grammar and lack of spelling.
Similar to kolanaki I’ve never really seen the appeal of music videos, I like music a lot but can absolutely live without the videos as I don’t really feel like it adds a lot to the experience for me.
That being said I can still recommend a couple that immediately come to mind and hopefully you might like.
Lorn - Acid Rain Lorn has a lot of amazing music and quite a few interesting videos that tend to try and capture the feeling behind the music. This song is probably the most mainstream and probably one of the best videos for his music.
A$AP Rocky - L$D This one I quite like purely because it has some alright representations of an acid trip that most people don’t capture when trying to represent LSD in the media. The way the light is used and over exposed making colours more vibrant, the sudden shift in both the music and the scene which can happen as your trip suddenly shifts. It is definitely not a highly accurate depiction of a trip but has elements that feel familiar that go some way to build up a familiar feeling in places.
Not as a big a fan of the A$AP Rocky video though.
That is fair, I think memories of similar sights and feelings elevates that more for me as opposed to it being an exceptional video.
The nostalgia beacon.
DUDE. Chills. Fucking chills. Thank you for the Lorn - Acid Rain link… WHOA.
I will never not recommend Lorn at every chance I get. Lorn is life, Lorn is love!
Enjoy :D
