...if it's worth savin' me
Hmm, two posts in one week (hmm, TWO posts in one week!) about Canadian bands. What's up with that? But unlike the previous post I'm not necessarily saying anything nice about Nickelback per se.
But I stumbled on one of their videos fairly recently--for a song called "Savin' Me"--and while I don't see many videos (who sees many videos these days?), this one is great. [Hopefully the link works, if not it's available legally from AOL Music, probably illegally in lots of other places.] I won't say too much about it, except that it's about a guy who gets to see something that no one else does.
And it's a really excellent example of extreme short form narrative...a really well told and very Joe-friendly happy/sad, slightly fantastical story told in the space of 4 minutes. Watching it again I wonder if it's not maybe slightly overly didactic--hitting you a little too hard with the punchline--but mostly I'm very pleased with it. I was looking around online for the director, and couldn't find out who did it. Kudos to whoever it was.
If you've already seen the video, and you've read other recent posts, you may be thinking, have I been obsessing a bit about mortality lately? You bet I have.
