You see, he is killing three birds with one video.

Veronicas will think it is about them.
Airplane mode will think it is about her.
But james will know it is about him. after all, he wrote the song gemini.

I don't like the video. Whatever symbolism that is there is weak, uninteresting, and uninspired. It feels like it's someone's first music video they ever made, but with a large budget. Billy's movements and gesturing as physical expressions are really awkward too. I'm pretty sure he makes the same gestures on the two choruses, it just adds to the feeling that it's calculated instead of natural.

It's not awful and I don't hate it or anything but yeah. Sometimes an awful thing can be better than a mediocre thing because at least it gets a stronger reaction.

I also don't think that it's the best video since SIYL because the video for That's the Way is marginally better, it also helps that it's a better song, but it still doesn't count for much

how does the guy who made the Tonight Tonight and Ava Adore videos, or even the TFE album and videos (which are arguably more "art" for art's sake than anything he's ever don), end up here?

He can't even make a rocking live video anymore. And this was a guy who used to seriously move around and throw himself into his guitar at live shows.

It's fucking sad

1.) why do music videos still exist
2.) i wonder why he elected not to shave
3.) a nicer shirt wouldn't have been a bad idea
4.) entirely unclear to me, was that 2 women on the floating spinning rock or a woman and a very girly man?
5.) are we supposed to take something from the color of their eyes

He had the money and it was worth the investment to hire top notch talent when those videos were made.

I don't think there is much of pool of video making talent these days.

I like it too. It's really artistic and does have the story. And BC looks beautiful always. He's older now, and he's comfortable wearing whatever he wants. Maybe try just appreciating him for who he is.

Thirty-Three is an artistic video. This is not.

I feel like if you're going to say something is artistic, you have to qualify it with what makes it artistic. You can't just say something is artistic and leave it at that.

Like wow Guernica is so artistic

such art

He's one of the most uncomfortable looking and awkward people that I've ever seen, even more so as he ages, it's partly what made this video so awkward.

I feel like them shooting from the top up was kind of a way to also detract from the weight he had gained.

i dont think you have to qualify it. the colors, images and symbols are artistic imo. it's a music video so that in itself qualifies it as an art form. It's more artsy imo though than say the 1979 video. But, it's subjective so if you don't get the same thing from it that's ok. and that painting above is not something I'd choose to look at again.

well maybe he's ok with being awkward. and who cares if he put on a little weight. he can lose it if he wants to.

You pretty much just repeated yourself which to me confirms that you have no idea what you're talking about. And if you're going to point out that a music video is an art form then that only just highlights the redundancy and meaninglessness of describing an art form as artistic.
