videos

recently i saw two videos, entirely unconnected with one another, and they both gave me goosebumps and made me want to cry. in a good way.
both of them were mentioned by friends (i knew someone'd take care of me in my tv-lessness).

the first one is the video to "first day of my life", a song by the american indie band bright eyes .
directed by john cameron mitchell, the creator of "hedwig and the angry inch", this video is incredibly (and beautifully) simplistic. it shows couples, most of which looked happy, one or two families, and some single people sitting on a red couch listening to the song and reacting to it.

at times, i found it ridiculously romantic. and that's not a bad thing.

the second one is the video to the new faithless song "why go". again, rather simple and beautiful. i am not yet sure of how to interpret it, but i find something incredibly pretty in the metaphor of "dancing through life".

enjoy. i hope these videos made you smile too.
