We dont need music videos though. Music videos are absurd and meaningless.
While "The Blaze - TERRITORY" is already a beautiful song to me, its music video[1] Always brings a tear to my eye.
That said, music Videos, like many songs themselves, are not rarely meaningless and bland. I guess that is just the result of commercial music.
Spike Jonze had so many creative ones
I really wish he hadn't been such a luddite, it would have been great if we had some Smiths music videos that were actually made in the 80s. (OK, we did get one, "Stop Me if You Think That You've Heard This One Before.")
Can be art and creative, just like the music.
No, a movie based upon a book is the same art just told in a different way, but I'm not buying that rappers driving luxury cars while rapping and having women in stripper heels tells the same musical artistic story in a different way. Or some random story.
Lol ok that's where you're coming from. Reducing music videos to gangster rap shite is basically the equivalent of "all movies suck because I've ever only seen Hollywood superhero movies".
Yes, they definitely are. I mean not all, but they can be. Just like cover photos on an LP or the music itself.
It might not do anything to you, but it's definitely art that can compliment the video. Might make it worse, might make it better. Might change the feeling.
