Back in April I blogged an entry about the awesome Duran Duran concert I attended. If you recall I briefly wrote about the videos that were shown before the Fab 4 came on stage. The band held a contest encouraging fans to come up with an original video from the songs off their new album. I was listening to their music this morning while working out and although each video is creative and quite artistic, I thought I'd share 2 of my favorite ones.
The winner to this video was created by a fan in Mexico.
"The Man Who Stole A Leopard"
You were once running wild hiding in the morning mist
Game in bonds - I make you mine
I thought that I could resist
But the leopard in you... silently... preyed on me
Game in bonds - I make you mine
I thought that I could resist
But the leopard in you... silently... preyed on me
Here is the live version of the same song directed by David Lynch. Part of UNSTAGED - an original music series from American Express in partnership with VEVO and YouTube. It truly is in the style of David Lynch.
Here is my other favorite. This video was created by a fan in Poland and reminds me of something Norwegian pop group Röyksopp would do. It has a nice Euro feel to it.
"Leave A Light On"
You breathe the will into the weak
And coach the cage bird to fly free
You ease the lost cause out of me
With your sweet hand to bring me home
And coach the cage bird to fly free
You ease the lost cause out of me
With your sweet hand to bring me home
Oh, how l do love Simon Le Bon's voice.
