Gehenna Countdowns; Best Music Video's

Best Music Video's
I like music that makes me think, and/or feel and so I feel the same way towards music video's. Generally a good video to me is a good story, well performed and that of course, fits with the song. Here is my countdown of the five best music video's ever.

5: Flobots - Handlebars
Displaying the bipolar natures of humans at their maximum. Handlebars pits our selfish, corporate and dominant side against our selfless, giving nurturing side, ending in the only plausible outcome. This, is handlebars by Flobots.


4: Foo Fighters - Breakout
The comic styling that we know and love Foo Fighters for is present in no other video more than Breakout. This is the song and video that got me into Foo Fighters in the first place. Foo Fighters, Breakout


3: Slipknot - Spit It Out
The vehement masked band here with the video to Spit It Out, directed by Clown this video manages to keep up with the fast pace of the song and and remain comedic and creepy. Slipknot's parody of The Shining, Spit It Out.


2: Pendulum - Slam
It is hard, very hard to make a great music video, but a fat guy dancing in the street is a sure fire way to do it ;) No more explanation needed, this is Pendulum, with Slam


1: Rammstein - Link 2 3 4
In my opinion the greatest music video of all time. Yes the animation may be pretty old by now but it is still an amazing video. I was stuck between either sonne, kein lust and this, though ultimately, Links was bound to take it. Here is Rammstein punching home their left wing views with Links, 2, 3, 4

Im Looking Through You - The Beatles (lyrics)

Im Looking Through You - Beatles


im looking through you
where did you go?
I thought I knew you
what did I know?
you don't look different
but you have changed
im looking through you
you're not the same

your lips are moving
I can not hear
your voice is soothing
but the words aren't clear
you don't sound different
I've learned the game
im looking through you
you're not the same

why tell me why did you not treat me right?
love has a nasty habit of disappearing overnight
you're thinking of me
the same old way
you were above me
but not today
the only difference is you're down there
im looking through you
and you're nowhere

why tell me why did you not treat me right?
love has a nasty habit of disappearing overnight
im looking through you
where did you go?
I thought I knew you
what did I know?
you don't look different
but you have changed
im looking through you
you're not the same

yeah
oh baby you changed
ahh im looking through you
yeah
im looking through you

Same Thing - Flobots (lyrics)

Same Thing - Flobots
fight with tools


somewhere between prayer and revolution
between Jesus and Huey P.Newton
that's where ya find johnny five shoot shooting
water guns at the audience while you're scooting
your glutinous max to the fact that he's tooting
on the horn
gonna warn you that im routing
for the other team in the culture wars
so I stab the beast's belly as the vulture snores
 yo Joe let it blow with convulsive force
till' walls fall off their false supports
till' Jericho's aircraft carriers alter cause
 and all brave young Americans are called to shore
cos we already lost the war
they keep waging
splattering the streets and battles keep raging
bloodying each page in the story that we're studying
each day the same just the names keep changing

(saying the same things over again )
(repeating the same slogans we don't know where we been)
we've been all over the globe on our government funds
leaving man woman and child dead bloody and numb
(saying the same things over again )
(repeating the same slogans we don't know where we been)
we've been overthrowing leaders with legitimate views
democratically elected but we didn't approve

(how many times can the line divide?)
(how many wars to uphold your pride?)
(these fears uncontrolled just swell the tide)
(of blood in the streets while the people die)
(im a keep on trying)
(long as suffering is multiplying)
(and why not?)
(these souls getting tossed and left out to rot)
(my back's broad enough to help lift your cross)
(as long as you help with mine)
(the process of healing will take some time)
(to see the pain in your face is the same as mine)
(it's not a game over race but the stake's are high)
(we maintain our mistakes for the sake of sides)
(as long as it takes, I say it one more time)
(as long as it takes, I say it one more time)
(as long as it takes, I say it one more time)

(saying the same things over again )
(repeating the same slogans we don't know where we been)
we've been all over the globe on our government funds
leaving man woman and child dead bloody and numb
(saying the same things over again )
(repeating the same slogans we don't know where we been)
we've been overthrowing leaders with legitimate views
democratically elected but we didn't approve

(same thing)
U.S is not us
(same thing)
and us is not we
(same thing)
and we are not satisfied
(same thing)
and we're tired of the same thing
(same thing)
and we're ready to make change
(same thing)
are we ready to make change?

we want money for health care
and public welfare
(free Mumia)
and Leonard Peltier
human needs not corporate greeds
drop the debt
and legalized weed (and legalized weed)
we say yes
to grass routes organization
no
to neoliberal globalisation 
bring the troops back to the USA
and shut down Guantanamo bay

who let em overthrow Jacobo Arbenz?
who let em overthrow Mohamed Mosaddeq?
who let em assassinate Salvadore Allende?
(I didn't let em but they did it, anyway)
who let em overthrow Kwame Nkrumah?
who let em overthrow Aristide?
who let em assasinate Oscar Romero?
(I did a letter but they did it indeed)
but don't let them assassinate Hugo Chaves
don't let them assassinate Evo Morales
and brick back Martin, Malcolm, Medgar, Hampton, Scwarner, Goodman, Cheney

(saying the same things over again )
