Changed my mind

I've decided to do a different song instead of final night but I'll still be doing a song from bentley Jones. The song I will be doing is called Glamorous Sky. The reasons I have decided to change song is 1: The lyrics from the song give me more to work with and already I have ideas for what to film for the music video (which I will be posting soon). 2: I don't know anyone who will be doing a music video for a song thats not English, it would help stand out a bit. 3) Unlike the song Final Night, the weather that's coming this way seems like it would suit the song Glamorous sky fairly well. and finally reason 4: I just prefer the song as it's just one of those tunes that will never leave your head once you've listened to it.



And here's the Bentley Jones version.



As you can tell from this song he changes the original song which is a j-rock ballad of sorts and turns it into a dance track much like how he describes the idea of the album TRANS//LATION in his interview, he takes one song and changes it from one extreme to another.

Deutsch Musik



Tokio Hotel is German glam/ emo rock band founded in Magdeburg, Germany in 2001 by singer Bill Kaulitz, guitarist Tom Kaulitz bassist Georg Listing and drummer Gustav Shafer.

The music video for 1000 Meere has many unique things about it. First thing of note is the mise en scene which gives a very distinctive bleak feeling to the person whose watching as the lighting seems to be mostly blue. A second thing to look at is that the clothes that the band wear are not very colorful at all but rather they are very drab and dark with the and members only wearing either white or black. The video is set in a deserted train yard (interestingly enough filmed in Paris). There's a variety of camera shots used such as mostly low angle shots, panning shots, and tracking shots. One effect that is used is the dissolve effect where the singer appears singing over the image of what's outside of the train as it's moving.
