we're the song inside the tune, full of beautiful mistakes

I found this completely by accident. What an introduction to this band. I officially love them even before hearing anything else they've recorded, just because they did this. Everyone go buy their albums. With money. Pay twice.

I dislike YouTube videos with a passion but I assume the second one is Christina Augilera "Beautiful" from your tags? Well, here's an interesting story: I hadn't seen that video in YEARS, and then I randomly caught it on Chinese Channel V a month back when I was travelling (god, if I had Channel V in my room I would never leave). It was only now that I remembered there were boys kissing in it. And now that I think about it more, there were repeated sections of footage and I remember thinking it was strange and wondering how I could have liked the video if it was so obviously flawed.

It all suddenly makes sense.

I like YouTube for the most part. I can pick and choose what videos I watch. I'm not a Christina fan per se (I do like her voice, I'm just not into that genre), but I love this song.

The boys kissing is the weakest part, because they look like identical twins. I can't help but think it was done on purpose, but it doesn't make sense to me. *shrugs*

The two men kissing might have looked so much alike because the director was making a symbolic statement about loving/accepting oneself in addition to the obvious statement regarding the homosexual stigma. *shrugs* Just a thought.

By the by, what's an "album"?

[primroseburrows]

Maybe that's what the director had in mind, but I think it took away from the first point by adding a second. *shrugs* Overall I love the video.

I still call CDs 'albums'. It seems to carry over well from vinyl. :)
