This blog is about what I thought about some of the music videos we watched in class, my thoughts on music videos in general, and what I thought about music videos I found.
Southern California: While I was watching it I just kind of thought it was your typical music video with random stuff happening that had no purpose except it looks cool. But after we talked about it I thought, wow, who knew this video had so much meaning behind it.
Let Forever Be: I remember thinking I don’t know what I just watched but I liked it. Maybe because it was a kind of like a cheesy clique 80’s music video and maybe because it was kind of like a surrealism painting.
Both of these made me think a lot more about music videos like, do the ones we think are the most outlandish and crazy have the most meaning. So I started to look for music videos that would fit this description. Even though I love what one may call mainstream music, I figured I wouldn’t find the meaningful music videos there, so I looked at bands that are considered a little less mainstream and here's what I found.
This is Gospel: Even though the band’s lead singer is singing in the video unlike the videos we watched in class, I thought the video still had a sense of surrealism and I thought that surrealism lead to a deeper meaning. maybe I’m reading to much into it but my interpretation is that it’s about society telling us how we should live out life, but we can break free from it. (P.S. I have only started to listen to this band recently so I’m sorry if I got some of this wrong.)
