5 Songs with Great MVs

I've been meaning to blog about good MVs. There are very interesting and great MVs out there. What's great about the songs in this lists are that they're already good songs with great lyrics and great melodies. On top of that, they're music videos capture the essence of the songs. You know what I mean? You have a great song such as Born this Way and though the MV was artistically created, it really didn't live up to what the song mean. All of the MVs follow a certain story line, like you're watching a mini film. All of these MVs gives new meaning to the song and makes the song even greater than it already is.

5. If I Were A Boy - Beyonce

I really enjoy watching this video. The song is lyrically good and pair it up with the beautiful soul voice of Beyonce, you have an instant hit. The song and the video is about the double standards of society when it comes to a relationship of a man and a woman. The video lets us see the vantage point of a woman playing the "man" role in a relationship. The viewers are lead to believe that Beyonce is the "man" in the house. However, in the end, the whole video is just the total opposite. Its a great story line and what I love most about the video is that its in black and white.

Lyrics: If I were a boy, I think I could understand how it feels to love a girl, I swear I'd be a better man.




4. Someday - Nickelback

I love this song from Nickelback and its probably my favorite from them. The song is about a failed relationship wherein one person doesn't want to let go of what they have thus the lyrics "someday, somehow we're gonna make it out alright but not right now." The MV gives us the same impression, there's a woman crying, his boyfriend just a few feet away from her on what seems to be a huge fight. She leaves the room with her suitcase and went inside her car with the man trying to stop her, but she doesn't listen. The story continues like this until the end, where the twist of the story is revealed. And though the song is actually about making it through a tough time of a relationship and the MV doesn't really mirrors this; I think that the MV gives a totally new meaning to the song. That's why I think its a great MV for the song.


Lyrics: Let's rewrite an ending that fits instead of a Hollywood horror.




3. Let Me Go - 3 Doors Down

I love love this song from one of my favorite bands, 3 Doors Down. The song is about a confuse person in a relationship. The person loves his/her partner but he/she has to make decision in life that would eventually turn the relationship sour and thus, "let me go." The lyrics of the song is absolutely beautiful, like a poem woven in silk (cheesy). The video is a different turn in the song/ It tells a story of two high school lovers whose relationship went sour after the boy discovered an upsetting secret echoing the lyrics, "You love me but you don't know who I am. I 'm turn between this part I lead and where I stand." What I love about the MV is its cliffhanging ending, so watch it and love the song.

Lyrics: One more kiss could be the best thing and one more lie could be the worse. 




2. Because I'm A Girl - Kiss

This is actually a Korean song but I really have to put it here. You can look up the english translation of the lyrics on the web. I love this MV and it always make me teary eyed. The MV is a story of love and great sacrifices. A few years back, this MV made it in FB and it went "viral" but even before then, I love this MV. This was released back in 2001 so its pretty old but the story is timeless. The song is good too.


1. Thinking of You - Katy Perry

Did you know that this song is the Katy Perry's worst performing single and her lowest selling single? Unbelievable because I absolutely love this song and the lyrics! Katy herself wrote this song. At first, when I heard this song, I thought it was about cheating and all that but when I fully understood the lyrics, it was everything but that! The song tells the story of a woman longing for a lost loved one. The MV is absolutely gorgeous and so was Katy Perry. The video takes us back to 19-something into a life of a young woman and his lover whom she lost during the war. She constantly thinks of her past lover and couldn't bring herself to move on. I think that this was Katy's best video to date and its truly heart wrenching. I never get tired of watching this video.

Lyrics: Oh won't you walk through and bust in the door and take me away. No more mistakes, coz in your eyes I'd like to stay.




I hope you all enjoy the songs and MVs that I posted. ^_^

Boredom finally setting in

Wow, it's been very long since the last time I blogged. I don't even know why its taken me this long. I have so many things to blog about but I tend to get very lazy and ending up not blogging about.

I am honestly bored already. A few months of vacation is nice but its finally sinking in. I need to get a job, not because I need the money but because I need to be out there. I'm so freaking bored. For some reason, I feel that my confidence is slowly wavering and its probably one of the reasons why it takes me so long to send a resume. Anyway, I finally got the courage and sent my first resume today. I really hope that I get an interview.

For the mean time, I'm currently working online. But writing with my laptop and not having a proper place to do my work is not really good. I tend to segue and watch TV or just browse through the net.

Oh well, hopefully I could go back and write my list blogs. I'm so excited to write my list blogs about music and movies.
