Dell’s Top Music Videos: Day Five

“Born to blossom, bloom to perish. Your moment will run out ’cause of your sex chromosomes.”

Well music lovers, we’ve come to the end unfortunately. This was the most difficult video for me to chose because I seriously had a list as long as my arm full of amazing ones such as Foo Fighters’ Learn to Fly, Snow Patrol’s Signal Fire, Vampire Weekend’s Cousins and practically all of McFly’s back-catalogue. I knew I had to whittle it down to one though, and after much deliberation, I managed to come to a conclusion.

Anybody who knows me well knows, as well as being obsessed with music and magazines, I love Alice in Wonderland, which is why I chose Gwen Stefani’s video for What You Waiting For? as my last post. The video is another mini movie like Fall Out Boy’s A Little Less Sixteen Candles that I posted yesterday. It follows the story of Gwen having writers block, causing her to go and see a weird specialist where she gets put into a trance. This dreamy trance mirrors Wonderland and shows her in all the situations Alice gets in, while the song she’s singing automatically jots down in front of her.

The connotations to the book and films, the costumes and even the song are all so good in my opinion. I am totally jealous of Miss Stefani getting to wear all those amazing outfits and I’ll never give up hope of owning a massive, over the top dress like she wears when she is mimicking the Queen of Hearts. I’ve got to say though as much as I want the dress and other bits and pieces, she can keep those stupidly high shoes because I’d probably find a way to break my neck just sitting down in them.

If you like this video, you might also like Gwen Stefani’s videos for Rich Girl and Cool or Avril Lavigne’s video for the soundtrack to Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland, Alice (Underground).

That’s it for me and my favourite music videos. I would seriously recommend watching all the videos I’ve linked and added throughout my whole ‘Top 5 Music Videos’ feature, because even though some are similar, each one has a uniqueness, and I love them all for so many different reasons.
