I think I'd really enjoy this video if it wasn't for so. Much. Raine. I dunno, I guess that's nothing new when it comes to the videos... but for some reason it's more apparent in this one. Maybe because there's no real plotline.

As I've said before, there are lots of things I like about this video, I like the idea, I like the setting, I love the song. The two things that let it down though are:
1) Too much Raine (in relation to the others)
2) The ending just seems to me like it could have been done so much better. I guess they didn't have enough time to do it as well as they could, but it's a shame.

And ooh I just thought of 2 more things:
3) no cows
4) no Duncan goggles

:lol:
Open your eyes to nights and days, you close them up and float away
and somehow inbetween you've got to master lying to yourself
you back the cause, get out of school, you get a job, the job gets you
and somehow every day you end up serving somebody else
now if that ain't panic that you're feeling, then you damn well better start
you can drive it into that head of yours with the hammer in your heart.


And it's alriiiiiiiight now, take the world and make it yours again.

yes, yes, and yes, and yes.

the cm should animate its own olp videos. and put the actual music to them. they should also be done in ms paint, and be posted in the doodles thread.

wait, wasn't this already done?

p.s. +moo

Its my favorite video since SM i think. I think this is more then likely because of the bad expectations i had. I hated SOT, Innocent, and Where are you, and gauging this one against those, I think this is great. I got so used to these horrible videos that when this came out it was more then i excpected.

WTF...too much Raine? :freak: There's almost always been too much Raine when it comes to OLP videos. And the same goes for any lead singer of any band.

As for the ending, I like it...it just comes out of nowhere and doesn't have a bit dramatic finish which gives it a bit of a creepy feeling.
And if I don't make it known that
I've loved you all along
Just like sunny days that
We ignore because
We're all dumb and jaded
And I hope to God I figure out
What's wrong

Because normally they are in the blurry background so we can at least account for their existance, but now its just close-ups of Raines face and we miss the blurry background people. :P

Here's something weird I've noticed:

There is not a single video where Raine seems to be aware of the existance of anyone else in the video. He never talks to anyone, touches anyone, or even really looks at anyone other than the camera.

Thats true, but that could be said for the majority of OLP videos.
