Kings Of Leon /// Use Somebody /// Dir. Sophie Muller

first of all- massive tune. hard to go wrong with a banger like that.

secondly- I like the way that the video maximises the emotion in the song by linking it directly what the song is really about: being lonely on the road because you are in a rock and roll band. ...rather than making an arty interpretation of.

i'm always creatively going to have problems with something that mixes live stuff with b/w doc stuff with set up beautifully photographed stuff, but I think as I said before- because the song is about being in a band the video (in my opinion) pretty much gets away with this collage-like approach.

successful clip if you ask me.

I wanted to post this video yesterday but decided that it's wasn't good enough for antville. I feel like i've seen this video a million times before because it's so boring & unoriginal. Who are you people and what have you done with these guys? --> www.youtube.com

Thanks to this video arrogantly playing automatically everytime I come to antville and subsequently confusing the hell out of me and make me fiddle with the sound settings on my computer for five minutes I officially hate it.

I think this video is great. Not sure why people seem disappointed that the band isn't still doing the film-school "technique on your sleeve" type videos that were so popular 5 years ago. I think Muller knocked this one out of the park. Perfectly color corrected, beautifully edited.

With vidbot. That autoplay is awful.


         
lusk81, November 5, 2008 at 8:21:46 PM CET

I dig it. I find it to be one of sophie's better videos (regardless if the idea has been done many times before). Very beautiful photography work (who was the DP?) and at times great editorially (anyone know the editor as well?). A solid track. A solid vid.

I like this too. the song is great


         
robodrug, November 6, 2008 at 12:32:54 AM CET

Like vidbot I am bugged by this starting up every bloody time, I come in contact, with its posting

I feel there's an attempt to push it violently down my throat! Consequently, I don't care how good it is, I don't care to watch it

Oh yeah and who cut this? Edward Scissor Hands? Beautiful job.

re: autoplay - seems there's no way to embed this without it. or does someone have special insight into myspacetvspeak? "m=45792329,t=1,mt=video,searchID=,primarycolor=,secondarycolor=" ? surely it's not this stuff: allowFullScreen="true" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent"/ >, right?

Sophie edited it. She edits most of her own videos.


         
kansas, November 7, 2008 at 12:05:19 AM CET

sigh..... Antville has become a truly sad place indeed when videos like this are celebrated.


         
budget, November 7, 2008 at 12:11:50 AM CET

Kansas, what would you rather see celebrated? It seems to me like you have a rather narrow view of what constitutes a good music video if you can't appreciate this piece.


         
piore, November 7, 2008 at 1:12:33 AM CET

i think this sucks big time. boring song as well


         
moonman, November 7, 2008 at 6:52:08 PM CET

sorry for the autoplay, i didn't noticed til now :l


         
robodrug, November 7, 2008 at 7:50:22 PM CET

Better late than never And thank you moonman


         
kansas, November 8, 2008 at 4:48:49 AM CET

Sorry. Lets just say it doesn't do anything for me.


         
budget, November 8, 2008 at 7:16:37 AM CET

Well then.


         
vidi-o, November 9, 2008 at 10:44:45 PM CET

It's not a great vid, nor is it a great track.....so who cares really?
