I think this may be a re-post...except the video used to be called 'the speed of sound' and Romanek is going under his Alias 'Shilo'....and also, Coldplay now has that blink guy singing while Chris Martin is raising his kid...Just throwin that out there...I may be wrong.

painfully unoriginal, but at least it's well done. Also it's not exactly fair to call this a Speed of Sound knock-off, since it's not like Romanek came up with the performance video in front of a wall of lights concept. Plus in this video the song was so intense that at the end they FLOATED INTO THE AIR. Damn.

Ending brought to you by the Church of Scientology...

I thought the video was nice, but there is only so many close ups i can take :) As for the Band Tom was quoted saying "Going to be the best band in the world" im not seeing it....

High production value, wide aspect ratio a nice touch, and it appears on their website that they kept the video in house from conception through to the final edit. That is no small feat. Well done.

Is Tom a Scientologist?

Anyone seen the album cover? Don't tell me that doesn't look like an L. Ron Hubbard novel...

How did this guy go from Penis jokes to battling Thetans?

hahaha. i believe in aliens too. does that make me a scientologist?

I could be wrong but I think Sheila is a Scientologist and Tom is a parasite... nothing but love for Shilo but Im biased

Superbly done, really. fwiw I liked the blink folks best for their sense of humor. I'll turn to Bono (or Cash, really) for my moral concern.

The song is pretty bad, but the video is very well done. With a better song, it would have been amazing.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that the video ranks a close second to the song in cheesiness. I guess this sort of vaguely optimistic, new-agey universalism is somehow acceptable when you're U2 and your band has a million gold records under their belt, and maybe its ok when you're Coldplay and people expect you to be apeing U2 anyway, but this is just sort of gooney. There's nothing subtle about this dude wanting to be taken seriously, from his doe-eyed innocent stare to his awkward "feeling the music" hand gestures. The video feels like getting hit with a burlap sack full of gooey sincerity and vague hopefulness. Technically well done? I guess so. Sort of pansy to the extreme? Definitely.

jesus this video sucks. for some reason i imagine the director on set, barefoot and wearing a turtle neck. the visuals don't fit the song at all. the lighting is great but who cares.

comment!
