My lovely Sussie and the beast... :)

'Cause You Are My Revolver...

Well, been a two weeks since i don't update so... here i go.

I've been taking a course for my subjects that i owe for high school and with these exams, i'm totally done and ready to move on to another thing.

The course has been nice, some nice teachers and some others not quite so, but, what can i do? The test is very close and i had to find something quick and cheap.

So, taking this course has taken a lot of time that i had for my friends and my stuff, so i wasn't able to update here or see my hotties online (an apology.)

Ok, so that was that and i hope to write some interesting news as soon as possible.

Love you all... :)

Sade : No Ordinary Love
Dir: Sophie Muller

This is it, this is the one, this is my favorite video of all times. If there's anything in this world more full of powerfull music and images combined, is this video. This video is stuck with me since the first time i saw it, in 1992 when i was 10 years old. There are two elements in the video that makes it very important for me, that is the lonely bride and the mermaid elemnts.

Sophie Muller directed this video with such style, such image story-telling that it's beyond my imagination. Besides, the Sade's song has it's place on it's own. The song is what i call, a timeless love song, full of passion and full of sentiment.

I fucking love this video damnit... WOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Thank you very much sticking to this idea of mine, i hope you had a nice time watching and listening to this stuff... I love you all. :)

PJ Harvey : C'mon Billy
Dir. Maria Mochnacz

I think pretty much everyone who read this bloggy knows that my favorite artist is PJ Harvey, by far. But as much as i love her and her music, i really don't think any of her videos make her justice or justice to the song, except the ones that came from To Bring You My Love and the ones that came from Stories From The City...

I think Maria Mochnacz does a wonderfull video and brings out a great performance by Polly, with great cinematography and amazing energy.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! PJ!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! :D

Björk : Possibly Maybe
Dir. Stephane Sednaoui

Of all of Björk's videos, i think this one is the one i love the most (the other ones includes Oceania and Triumph Of The Heart). I think Sednaoui made a perfect video, because the songs has different textures and colours, and he gave the lyrics and music their perfect balance on the screen.

Just perfect... <3

PS: Turn the volume of your speakers a bit because the clip has no good sound quality) :P

Portishead : Only You
Dir. Chris Cunningham

In any best music video list has to come up the name of Chris Cunningham, responsable of such amazing imagery of the likes of Björk, Maddona, Aphex Twins and this amazingly beautiful Portishead video. I love this song, it is my favorite Portishead song and i'm really happy that Cunningham made the song justice, giving it a very obscure, haunting and ghostly feel to it.

WOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Interpol : Obstacle 1
Dir. Floria Sigismondi

Talking about female directors for music videos, Floria Sigismondi did a wonderfull job directing this video for Interpol. Taking only black and white as the main colours for the band and red for being the evil lady in red, representing anger and resentment that the song is talking about. Floria cast herself because they couldn't find anyone who could do that type of movements the way she wanted to, but only herself ... and i think she did a perfect job in both, directing and perfoming.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

Nelly Furtado : Try
Dir. Sophie Muller

There are not a lot of female video directors out there, so, i've always admired the courage that Sophie Muller has by making her way and having a place among the great visual artists of the 90s. I love this song, i really do, and i love the video more than anything in the world. I read that Nelly and Sophie wanted to give it a Days Of Heaven kinda look, and they absolutly did.

In the video, the couple is having rough economic times at home, so the boy goes out and looks for work, while the girl stays home and waits for her husband. While she's waiting, she longs for a sweet hug of her hurband and she gets unpatient and goes after him. And the video ends in the most beautiful way ever... :)

Tori Amos : A Sorta Fairytale
Dir. Sanji

This is a great great video. It portrays what a perfect fairytale is all about. The lovers have physical imposibilities but they stick to each other, until he founds a defect of her that she didn't wanted to reveal, so he laughs and she gets kinda hurt. So, what she does is run and tries to hide her defect back. But he founds her and make her understand that her beauty is more about her, than her deffect. And love makes them complete again and breaks the curse. And: IT HAS ADRIEN BRODY, an amazing performance by Tori, with great cinematography.

Very pretty isn't it? :)

Fiona Apple : Never Is A Promise
Dir. Stephane Sednaoui

This is the third video that Fiona did to promote TIDAL, and i think she saved the best for last. In this video directed by Stephane Sednaoui, Fiona unleashes all of her vulnerability and her sensitivity. The empty street and the lights give perfect harmony for a song about loneliness and disarming one's trust and love with lies.

Woooooooo!!!!!!!!

Janet Jackson : Got 'Til It's Gone
Dir. Mark Romanek

Mark Romanek is one of the most talented visual artist of the past decade. His visuals are one of a kind and his videos are always related with a piece of art he admires. This video has to be one of his bests (IMHO), it features Janet Jackson in her most beautiful look in a music video. The idea of the video is to capture the essense of a community, their perfections and imperfections (which leads us to another kinda of beauty).

Anyway, check it out... :)

Roger Sanchez : Another Chance
Dir: Phillipe Andre

I don't like the song that much, but the video is so amazing. The girl and the heart and the guy who sees her sadness and wants to help her get her joy back, it's simply stunning.
