Somehow YouTube has become my new addiction these days. Here’s a list of my favorite music finds on YouTube lately.
- Mat Wedder – “Hey Ya” – It’s a cover of Outkast’s “Hey Ya.” Better than the original. Reminds me how sad the song can be. “We know we aren’t happy here…”
- Death Cab for Cutie -“I Will Follow You into the Dark” – The ever expanding hole coupled with the haunting line “If heaven and hell decide that they both are satisfied…illuminate the “No’s” on their vacancies signs…”
- Coldplay – “The Scientist” – Somehow I missed this when it first came out. (Thanks MTV) A video filmed entirely backwards…and the lead singer had to mouth the words backwards. Wanna watch it backwards?
- U2 – “Window to the Skies” This video shows old footage of bands and artists somehow lipsynced to U2’s lyrics. See how many you can identify. Members of U2 appear in the audience showing that they, are not only music makers, but also fans of the great ones.
- White Stripes – Denial Twist – Chronicling their appearance on the Conan O’Brien Show
