Hey Y'all.

I pop in from time to time asking random questions, know a few of you irl and went to uni with others....

Anyyhooo
I think that a true art form is music that has a matching video which tells a story...no words needed to be spoken, but in the short few minutes the song plays there is a deep resonating story which if done right just creates a magic feeling(fuck I sound gay)

I know Interstellar 555 is a great example and the past few days, I have come across one of new song from Orbital, New France(feat Zola Jeses)

or:


Can anyone recommend any others?

Cheers!

Not sure if it is what you're exactly looking for but you can always watch the Try, Try, Try video by the Smashing Pumpkins...

This music video compels us that women's own worst enemy is women. They have the most capacity to hurt each other and keep themselves as second class citizens in this male world.

This by far

so what's the story in the orbital one? Bunch of guys try to get their mate laid, but he'd rather hang out with little girls?

(fuck I sound gay)

After what I've seen on facebook, I'm gonna agree with this :)

It's got words in it, but the song is the story and the video matches it. She walks around her old classroom remembering someone who I'm guessing killed himself after being bullied all the time and she kind of regrets not being his friend.

^^ sounds like the writer of that was on the biggest acid trip ever.

Everyone loves monkeys!

Blog below talks about Keith Caputo, but now know as Mina Caputo. Keith was singer for Life of Agony(band from 90s). River Runs Red, is brutal now as it was back then.

So much win.

:p

Maybe the lyrics don't match what's going on too well, but the narrative of the video is brilliant and matches the music so well.

One more I could think of.

Doesn't exactly fit OP's description; but is a good vid that matches the music and lyrics (and is shot/produced very well)

Trust me, it's ten types of awesome.
