Yes, I am a lover of music videos. I don't know if it's a generational thing (I actually remember when MTV played music videos at times other than the middle of the night) or an attention span thing (an entire story in about 3 minutes? yes, please!), but I've always loved music videos. I've daydreamed about being in them, being the creative force behind them, and even starring in one (during my I'm-going-to-be-a-rockstar phase). Anyway, I was watching some the other day and I found myself thinking, "I'm really grateful for music videos." An odd thing to say? Definitely. But it was true. They're a silly source of entertainment, but I'm thankful for them and I wanted to share some of my favorites with you. Enjoy!
Hudson "Against the Grain" (my latest favorite!)
Florence + The Machine "Shake It Out"
Nada Surf "Always Love"
Tamar Kaprelian "New Day"

Ah I understand this, music is even better with a mini story to go with it! In fact my mum pays £1 extra a month for her tv package so I can watch music when I visit, she doesnt understand it tho haha :)

Elise - So glad you could understand this! I don't know too much people who really love music videos the way I do. It's so sweet of your mom to do that for you even if she doesn't understand it. What a nice mom!
