Music Videos

Music is universal and a form of entertainment that all people can indulge in. Music artists have gone even further then just producing songs but they further entertain us by making music videos. Music videos are a way for us to further visualize the story behind the song. Music videos are sometimes a creative display of the story that we may not have seen when we listened to it. I love watching music videos and connecting the story to the original song. Sometimes the videos portray a whole different viewpoint of the story. For example, a music video that I really enjoyed watching was Knock You Down by Keri Hilson featuring the artist Kanye West and Ne-yo. The video was set up in a creative way, were the main artist Keri Hilson told a story of falling for a guy and still being in love with a guy from her previous relationship. The video started with Keri falling and continued with her and her ex boyfriend being knocked down and shattering likes glass. I like the video because I went through a similar situation myself. The words in the song display a message that many girls go through. The significance of the song is that it can also relate to men. Sometimes men become stuck between deciding on whom to be in a relationship with. When comparing two people it is sometimes hard to make a final decision. The artist talks about how she goes through a cycle that she does not want to repeat. It is a good song and the music video just adds to the effect the song has its listeners.
