Travis - Selfish Jean (Original MV)
Lyrics: Cheers | |
Album Single Other | This MV is very interesting. It started with a man wearing a whole chunk of thick T-shirts walking to a cage like corner and as the music plays, he starts to strip his T-shirt piece by piece till end of the song. Quite a low cost MV production I would say. Nevertheless achieve a whole deal of attention to the song! Very cool! I found that most of those T-shirts he wore in the MV are actually available from this shop. That's so cool! |

Duran Duran - Ordinary World (Original MV)
Lyrics: Came in from a rainy Thursday | |
I've almost forgotten about this song till I happened to see MTV channel screening it the other day. A very emotional song. This is about a man who goes through a breakup and deals with his pain by re-entering the outside world. It was written in memory of a friend of Simon Le Bon's who died in an accident. It tells of Simon's feelings at the time and how he knew he had to go on. |

Duran Duran - Come Undone (Original MV)
Lyrics: Mine, immaculate dream, made breath and skin, Ive been waiting for you, | |
Duran Duran, the English band that has never disbanded during the past few decades. Definitely the most commercially successful of the New Romantic bands and a leading band in the MTV-driven "Second British Invasion" of the United States. The song "Come Undone" is released in the band's "The Wedding Album" in 1993. In fact, the album is such a classic that it is still a much sought-after album till today. And of course! I will listen to it on my iPod forever... |

Selena - Dreaming Of You (Original MV staring JLo)
Lyrics: Late at night when all the world is sleeping | |
"Dreaming Of You" is the first album recorded mostly in Spanish to debut at No. 1 on The Billboard 200, and it is the first by a Latino artist to accomplish that feat. Unfortunately the artist, Selena died from a gun shot wound during a live performance by her manager, Yolanda. The MV that I've put up here is linked to the tribute movie about the late artist staring JLo acting as her. Quite a touching movie detailing the up-lifting spirit, perserverance & endurance of the late artist in order to achieve success. This song "Dreaming Of You" has accompanied me on my many late night studies & is such a classic that radio is still playing these days. Definitely romantic! |
