A car crash of a relationship sends two lovers hurtling to opposite ends of the world, only to come back together at the end. But, the core of the video is director Jodeb's kaleidoscopic flurry of exploding objects, from Edison bulbs to stars.
Maroon 5 and director Jonas Akerlund's massive crowd sourced video for "Daylight" — announced back in September — perfectly balance the personal and the universal. The backbone here is the confessional footage, revealing all sorts of secrets, hopes and fears from fans all around the world.
If the old saying is "rock 'n' roll will never die," then maybe it also applies to UK revivalists Heavens's Basement. Even when they're sitting ducks in a high-stakes shooting gallery — bound, blindfolded and ready to die execution style — they manage to evade all the bullets and get saved for another day. Long live rock, indeed.
A woman waits along the shoreline for her lover to return from outer space, paddling out to save him once she sees a flare indicating his descent, not realizing that she might be the one in need of rescue. --> watch "The Afterman"
Is she wallowing in despair, or is she seeking to change her heartbreak into some kind of rebirth? That's the central question in "Alchemy," which gets put in motion when the video's star, actress Mackenzie Fergins, spies her man with another woman. --> watch "Alchemy"
Surrounded by gluttony, greed, sex and all the other supposed deadly sins have no effect on The Rolling Stones, who plow straight ahead with their best single in years (and not just because it's their only single in years). While the band are as undeterred as always on the task at hand, director Jonas Akerlund sets actress Noomi Rapace on a chaotic (and sometime topless) journey that hurtles toward madness and runs the gamut from a Zombie attack to fronting The Stones for a few quick shots. --> watch "Doom And Gloom"
Our hero has a literal hole in his heart in this Green Day video directed by Roboshobo. It's a neat trick, but nowhere near as cool as that missing heart of his, which has stuck around with his ex-girlfriend. --> watch "Stray Heart"
