Hopeless Wanderer // Mumford & Sons
The last thing I was expecting from
Mumford & Sons was this video, and I love it. This has to be one of the funniest music videos I've ever seen. It's almost like a
Saturday Night Live sketch than an official music video.
Mumford & Sons is such a talented group, and I love how they can poke fun at themselves by having these hilarious comedic men pretend to be them. Starring
Jason Sudeikis (
Marcus Mumford),
Will Forte (
Ted Dwane),
Jason Bateman (
Winston Marshall), and
Ed Helms (
Ben Lovett). It fits well for the overall whimsical, upbeat vibe of the song itself. The ending was especially amazing.
Do or Die // 30 Seconds to Mars
Now we're gonna switch gears from hilarious to emotional.
The official music video is here! As we've heard, a lyric video for the same song made from lyric tattoos will also be coming up soon (a really cool idea if you ask me).
30 Seconds to Mars is my favorite band, and their music videos rarely disappoint. This video is amazing because, much like
Closer to the Edge, is a tour video that showcases the fans (or the Echelon) and how much the band, and music in general, means to them.
It connects with fans on an emotional level with the band, in the video or just watching it, and shows us that they do care about us. Not all groups thank their fans that way. It establishes an even greater bond between fans and
30 Seconds to Mars, and between fans themselves.
In the video's description box there was this:
A NOTE FROM JARED LETO:
I'm sitting in the dark writing this having just finished this little film and although I don't feel quite done yet it's time to let it go.
This is a story about an incredible adventure that we all shared together this summer. A summer that we will never forget. It's also a reminder (for myself as well) to LIVE LIFE NO MATTER WHAT. But ultimately it's a love letter to you all. The believers.
That sums it up perfectly, if you ask me.
Tell me what you think of the music videos in the comments below!
Till next time xx,
