"Punching in a dream" - NAKED AND FAMOUS

you can disregard everything else written, and just get this:
UR DOIN IT WRONG.




This is the song Punching in a dream by Naked and Famous. Great opening, nice vocals, good beat reminiscent of the 80's. I could dig it. Wouldn't exactly be my favorite song, but I could dig it at a bar or a party or on the radio or something.

Then I met the music video.

I LOVED the first minute of it: the dream-like misty atmosphere, the striking images, the poetic gracefulness of it all. It really reinforced a strong sleepy, otherworldly feeling, which is something I am personally appreciative of.

But then... I don't even.... there were people in snow-flake costumes running at the camera, gnashing their teeth, and men in hockey masks looking sullen, all on bad, BAD pixelated green-screen, with neon colors flashing and 5th grade video editing.

I can understand that dreams often don't make sense and can change on a dime, and I suppose that is what they were trying to convey, but it was just terrible video skills. I was so sad to see so much potential just RAPED. It was as though they had someone with beautiful ideas to write the music video, who died halfway through, and then they lost their budget so they were reduced to windows movie maker or something.

augh, so sad.

at least you'll get a laugh out of it.
