I wonder if I'm the only one that feels this way. I have a complicated love/hate relationship with music videos. Most of the time I won't even go watch them for new songs for fear I'll hate the song afterwards. Music means a lot to me and I love it. I love new pop songs that I hear on the radio and songs that friends recommend to me.
Sometimes I'll make playlists on YouTube of songs I like, and inevitably the "official music video" will show up, so I'll watch it. Sometimes, not always, I'll love it. Other times I'll hate it.
For instance, I love this song and I love it EVEN MORE after watching this video:
On the other hand, I used to love this song. I loved the message portrayed when I heard it on the radio. Then one day I saw the video, and now it's not the same. I mean, really? Why? This doesn't even make sense.
And then there's this song, which is just pretty much awesome... when you don't watch the video. It's a catchy tune, and the whole message behind music videos is really how I feel about them. But it's really annoying when you just want to watch the video to hear the song. See what I mean below.
What are your favorite music videos? How do you feel about them? Do they ever ruin the song for you?
