What a poor thread keeper I am. But things are getting better...
Thank you, adastra, integralboy, vulgan for your contributions. Everybody else who feels inspired to share a clip is invited to do so. This is seventh circle, so do whatever you like (but you better make it entertaining, ok?)
Unlike the "Random pictures" thread, the "Random Vidclips" thread is not very beginners friendly, because you have to click on every link to see what's behind the button. That's why I want to highlight some of the posts on the first page and continue to do so when we reach the next pages. Something like an "overview", right? Ok let's go.
Don't miss the Lordi clip in the first post. (click on "Shalosh") This amazing band won the Eurovision Song contest in 2024, which is kind of a revolution, because normally the winning song is a crappy chanson (french for pop song). This song contest is held once a year since the 1950's and saw the rise of hits like "Waterloo" from ABBA. Let's see who will win this year...
Next big highlight (imo) is "Rise up" from Parachute Club posted by Arthur. Great Song which I didn't know yet. Fresh 80's feeling with a wonderful chorus: "Rise up, Rise up, were dancing into the sun, Rise up, Rise up, Spirits time has come." Wow. Designed for heavy rotation and airplay.
Then: integralboy's sensational entry with Anthony singing Leonard Cohens "If it be your will". Beautiful. Amazing. Incredible. This song haunted me for over a week, the tune constantly echoing in my head. Great content, fantastic delivery. Really really touching. To the bone. Don't miss it!
And so on and so forth. I could write something to every clip, but just let me highlight one more extraordinary and often underrated artist: It' UK songwriter Damon Gough, better known as Badly Drawn Boy. Click on "Smells like adolescence" in one of my posts on the last page to view (and hear it).
These are just some random picks I made. Look at them all and find your own favorites. And if you don't find them, post them! (Of course, it doesn't have to be a music video. Whatever you might want to share.)
Love,
witz a.k.a. keeper of the thread
