Christina Hendricks, the music video. It's The Ghost Inside.
Alright today I'm going to talk about The Ghost Inside. Specifically the Music Video. Before I post that though AFH has warned me not to post copyright videos you have to open in other tabs. So for those of you who really don't want to open a tab, use the second link underneath. I will be talking about the song and the video, but if you hate new tabs, this is for you. MUSIC VIDEO
Now I love the Broken Bells, but this is one of their less known music videos. They love playing around with representation, and this song is no different. First I'll talk about the song, and then how the video interjects with it. If you only want the song, I'll post a warning before the video notes. Now onto Metaphors. The song has few actual metaphors it's a pretty straightforward song about a woman who sells her body for money and fame. She is obsessed and has driven her life to it. The singer tells her it's not to late, that all the drinking and the sad life she entertains can stop. That if she can give up her small happy point she can also give up the sadness with it. But she can't. He questions whether her life is good and why he's even going through the trouble to help her at all. there are other interpretations, like that she has a sugar daddy, or a boyfriend she doesn't love anymore, someone that entertains her life, but on the price that they are hers. I'm not looking at it word by word, and that leads to deeper interpretations. Modern man for example probably refers to a lifestyle or ethic. VIDEO INTERPRETATION. The video is kind of interesting. It focuses on a girl living dual lives. It switches between a paradise and a spaceship where she keeps giving parts of herself away. Both are scifi, but I'm guessing it's just a look and a way to tell the story. The paradise is her vision of her future, and she's willing to go as far as possible to make it. She keeps giving away limbs, and at one point laughs sadly at how futile her journey really is. At the end, when she finally makes it, a random ship finds her and trades her new limbs for her ship. But when she lands she finds the place abandoned, it may have never even existed in the first place. Some of the wreckage shows there was effort, but it was abandoned at some point.
now in comparison to the song, it seems like the video is trading the man for her dream. She keeps selling part of herself, or her "body". she does this for her dream, for eternal happiness in the long run. although the song references her being a star for a minute,and it being shortterm happiness the video is about the opposite. although both have the same result where if she continues on the path she won't find what she's looking for. Anyway, I found it interesting.

Re: Christina Hendricks, the music video. It's The Ghost Ins
well, first of all, lol, the second vid was still locked by copyright, rremember to preveiw yuour post AND play the video in the preview, and second, while i wont comment on the metaphor in this one, i will comment on the sound, i liked it, it was relazing, and it had an -almost- gorrilaz feel, as the descript in youtube said, but it certainly didnt seem to be taking vibes from gorrilaz, what stood out for me was the slight, subtle echo in some of the singing, not all, it the parts where it breaks of just a bit, as if hes gonna pull her on the right track, but it snaps back as if he failed, thats my one listen interpretation
I'm trying i'm trying~ i'm making I'll try too slowly up my posting. At least once a day for a bit. Then I'll up that too twice, then four, then 8 and so on. Until eventually I wake up one morning and find out that I am actually an Idiot hero. On some quest too cheat on his gf or raise affection of 5 women who conveniently live in my the same dorm as me. In which I only have 100 days to seduce them all.

The first one was blocked for my country, the second one was working, but not my taste in music genre, I like its meaning though.
I AM WALKING MADNESS. I AM NEVER ENDING CHAOS. I AM THE SICK CREATION. WITH INSANITY AS MY BEING I SHALL DROWN THE WORLD INTO HAVOC AND ENGULF IT IN DARKNESS. MY NAME IS YOSHIMOTO. THE END HAS COME!

Re: Christina Hendricks, the music video. It's The Ghost Ins
well shit. Anyway the second was user uploaded not vevo or something. Anyway I'll check from now on. The actual style of music is more indicative of Broken bells as a whole, rather than something that really applies to the meaning.
