Pffft, Celine? But this Celine video is Memento in structure. Threading her thru a school production of Romeo & Juliet, it opens at the end & ends at the beginning, which force-reinterprets every development to take on some other meaning.
I've written a story like that myself once.

Ariana Grande won me over this year as she became withdrawn and superficially not as good as before. You think she just pulled an old movie reference, but her writing's so intricate. She lets you dunk on WCBF, then put out BDA a year later to let the emotional recoil slap you around

The friendless has feelings too, and I can rarely hear this song without tears welling up, because Luke sings a very expressive "between you and I." Like Toto itself, the video is very all-American in ways good and bad, reasonably fun to experience on a 29" Trinitron upon release.

At the peak of her solo career, Meja was presented as decidedly a very cerebral, incisive woman of cosmopolis, an urbanista. In this context it's a fitting and brilliant stroke to present this song through a boxing match, choke full of delightful commentary on punch-drunk love.

I have to be honest and say, I'm having a bit of an amnesia about the remaining 13 songs of the #50videos that I must've thought of at the beginning.

I'm traveling for a month. Today, failing to find a local stock cube at the 4th grocery store, this song flashed through my head. It looks deceptively of its time, but it's really a lot like any person's Insta account documenting the randomness of their travels. Ahead of its time.

Ace of Base put out a pair of singles next to each other, both written by Jonas, that gets to the real heart of who they are. The green-screen video(s) are appropriately zany, with all the green screens, facial morphing, finger-pointing and laughing and what we now call NEETmaxxing.

I hate Morrissey. He's a poser. But the beauty of this song is, it sounds post-modern but it's entirely traditional, it completely reveals him as something other than his postures. Boy just wants to sing old-school to a bunch of big horns. Celibate Moz is merely an alt-Michael Buble

The Japanese often chose to be stingy on the music video budget, and so it was for this song, written in Japan by a big-in-Japan artist and became a J-dorama theme song. But, what a lovely presentation, making abstract very simple "vacance" scenes tying into Shibuya-kei aesthetic

Speaking of which, Roxette is where Jonas Åkerlund's directing career began. His first music video job was for Marie's 1992 single "so long as there's light ahead of me," elegantly incorporating visual elements from the album campaign which is a graphic design tour de force.

I first caught this in 1991, in the mornings between my mother's suicide attempts and the school bus' arrival. in a few minutes I'd leave for school not knowing if I'll have a mom to come home to. And, this would come on our local cable TV and sear that aesthetic into my brain.

"you make me feel like 15, I couldn't kiss, I had no tricks
but I knew how to fly, at least for a little while"

Perhaps I just love this style of filming, but I think a lot about what kind of picture is "right" for music videos, and this hits the spot like a tall drink of water. It's one of many for sure (Sade's Never As Good As the First Time, etc) but it just says so much with so little.
