About Oh Be Joyful Video

[Goudie]

does anyone else find the video kinda lame? i think he should have had a video about that guy in the rabbitt suit instead of just a burning fire. anyone with me?

 

PS the song is awesome though. cant wait for in a coma.

[MonkeeMan]

i dunno when i saw it i was like this has to be a joke, i am still waiting for the real video lol

[HoboFactory]

I figured there'd at least be some neat surprise ending to it...

[Dookas27018]

Yeah there is, its the inacoma.ca advert, isn't that surprise enough you greedy bastards...

 

as for the song, it sounds like a WLRRR reject, a little lacking in the imaginative lyric area, but the bridge is good

I think its better than at least half of WLRRR myself. Haven't got the video to work yet at home, at work now though, so I'll have to wait.

[sockcrotch]

i like the song

 

but i can guarantee much music (and probably even MMM) will never play that video just because it has no progression

 

And was the 'inacoma.ca' thing just a heads up for an In A Coma site? Cause the url doesn't seem to exist as of yet...

There was an alternate video for it but because of the London attacks as of late it was changed.

 

Go to the double life to check out the concept.

 

The user Sour has the hookups and has seen it.

I like the video. It makes you just listen to the song, instead of trying to induce seizures with the flashing and millisecond cuts of most music videos.

[middle class gangster]

the hand thing in the video is weird, is it meant to show someone is talking(with their hands) infront of the fire or is it just something to keep some interest.

 

also i am starting to see how they can afford to have all these cd's in "In Acoma", since the video couldn't of cost that much.

[S.E. Hardy]

MG said that the video isn't for TV - it's just for the website.

[ghetto-astronaut]

the hand that keeps flying in front is actually throwing a crumpled up piece of paper into the fire everytime it passes through, as if he was in the middle of writing something and kept having problems and tossing them out.

...in your opinion.

[ghetto-astronaut]

no i really mean it, everytime the hand comes into the picture a new piece of paper hits the fireplace if you look closely enough. its so fast though that the ones that land in the back are virtually invisible most of the time, but you can see the others clearly if they hit the front or side. they're just crumpled pieces of paper that burn up in the fire

[RicardoObviouso]

yes. we all see the paper.

this is what i was commenting on.

link please

[ghetto-astronaut]

oh sorry bout the misunderstanding, i didn't know what part you were referring to is all. as for the second part i don't mean to say that he was actually having problems writing something but merely that the way he tosses the paper in for the purpose of the video is like someone tossing in screw ups and bad starts.

 

its funny how simple things turn out sometimes, eh? the only reason i mentioned this in the first place was to clarify for middle class gangster who wasnt sure what the hands were all about

[MrEric37]

I like the song quite a lot and the video is good but not excellent... i have it on one of my monitors blasting and it reminds me of those old VHS videos you can purchase that shows a fireplace or fish tank that you play at parties or holidays... ;)

[RicardoObviouso]

i wasnt saying he was having a hard time writing.

 

 

you're looking too far into this.

[The_Rat_Who_Would_be_King]

I hope you all realize you're probably not meant to "enjoy" the video like you're meant to enjoy Matt being chased by private school students. I like it because I like that it's not a music video and when viewed with the handy dandy guide Matt has supplied it makes for a good point.

 

And as for the song, I like it, but I'd like it even more if I understood it.

It's a screensaver with a rock and roll soundtrack, nothing more.

 

Edit - Satty's avatar smashes his head to the beat of Oh Be Joyful.

i like it you cant take your eyes off it its kinda weird and ive always loved watching fire maybe thats just me

[Crusader]

My new avatar beats satty's. Oh, be joyful.

[Dan #3]

Does his reference Harry Potter? No? Than his is better.

[sodamntired]

I really enjoy his new video.

 

I didn't "get it" when i first watched, waiting for something to happen...but then I "got" what Matt was trying to say.

 

It's a music video that forces the viewer to LISTEN to the music, with no imagery to draw the viewers attention away from it.

 

I like it.

Refresh and clear cache, Dan ;).
