Radiohead - No Surprises
The music video for no surprises by Radiohead is full of disjuncture. The music soundtrack doesn’t like to the music video at all. In the music video we see the main singer of Radiohead singing, in side, of what seems to be a fish tank or glass bowl, it slowly fill up and doesn’t have any meaning to the song. But if we look really closely, we could see that water filling up the bowl could suggest that he is sad and something has happened in this life, making him want to commit suicide, by drowning. The lyrics sound very sad and suicidal, he just wants a quiet life”I’ll take the quiet life”, meaning he wants to die.
LunchMoney Lewis - Bills
The music video for Bills, the music of the song match what is happening in the video. For example he says "I got bills, I gotta pay" this links to all of the bills that have filled up his car, this shows that this music video uses amplification. It could also be seen as a circular narrative as he doesn't pay any of this bills off and he is still at home in his dressing gown. This song makes a very tedious job into something more fun with this song, it also shows that, its not just a few people struggling to pay bills.
Owl City-Fireflies
Commonly used. Images illustrate the illustration lyrics Illustration is the simplest and easiest concept to base a music video around as it is just a literal meaning to the song’s lyrics in visual form. Owl City have used illustrative ideas in their videos before, for example in Fireflies’ when the artist is singing and as he says ‘fireflies’ the word fireflies comes up on the screen to a little toy gadget.
