There’s something about this song that embodies summer for me. I don’t like to dance, but as the lyrics suggest, “Dancing on, do the boogie all night long” is a sentiment that comes to mind when I hear this song.

Because Valentine’s Day…
0Because it’s Valentine’s Day and because I love this video, cheers to the day of love.
Sky Full of Stars
0This unique, low-key video of Coldplay’s new song, “Sky Full of Stars”, reminds me why I love the band so. The song is quite catchy and I like the way the video incorporates regular people following the band along the streets. Their cheer adds to encompassing feeling evoked by the song, and naturally, Chris Martin and his band members play off of their reactions. There is also the allusion to Mary Poppins and Dick Van Dyke‘s musical routine with a similar drum setup with a twist.
You and Me
0I heard this song during the Parenthood series finale the other night and I just thought it was a lovely song. It was played during an emotional scene while the family was having their pictures taken at Sarah’s wedding, which was a nice overview of all the characters and their relationships with one another during the final episode. Of course, emotions always play in role in how we perceive something, so I really enjoyed this song as it was played during this scene. Also, this is a beautiful video.
Dancing in cafes
0This scene from Jean-Luc Godard‘s Band of Outsiders is one of my favorite scenes in all of film. Ana Karina is classically stunning as usual and the dance number is infectious and longs to be mimicked. While there is a voice-over describing what the characters are thinking, the dancing itself doesn’t really serve any purpose in the film’s narrative. It is simply there for its own sake and for the audience to take pleasure in, which is what makes it so great.
Safe and sound
0I really liked this song by Capital Cities when it first came out, but I only recently discovered the music video. I always love period pieces, and having just taken a class on the silent film era, I appreciate the few allusions to silent film, and I like its originality and blending of time periods.
Walk in the Park
0As I walked along on an Autumn day and took this picture, I couldn’t help but think of Beach House’s Walk in the Park
“I Follow Rivers”
0A nice little video encapsulating Blue Is The Warmest Color, such a beautifully emotional film, along with the best song in the film, Lykke Li’s “I Follow Rivers.”
Keira Knightley has an amazing singing voice?
0I just saw Begin Again featuring Keira Knightley, Adam Levine, and Mark Ruffalo and it was such a lovely surprise. I had no idea that Keira Knightley has an incredible singing voice, but it is so soft and sweet (and yes, it’s actually her voice). A very nice surprise indeed! I think it’s absolutely a must-see if you like music at all and its ability to bring people together. It has some great songs in it and I know I’ll be buying the soundtrack.
