shadowhiveSo a few days ago Fall Out Boy put up a new song. I didn’t listen to it at the time but I did now, so here’s the video for Love On The Other Side
So I’ve only heard it once, as I watched the video, and it’s… ok. It’s not great to me, but maybe it’s one of those things that will grow on me if I hear it more. (Or maybe it’s just cause I’m not a massive FOB fan)
The video is strange with old Pete, oddly, telling a little girl a story (maybe his granddaughter) of how FOB formed in a strange place and ended up being chased out by a wolf mayor and there’s an emo island! It’s a bit strange, but then Fall Out Boy videos tend to be. (And why was Andy in face paint?)
I did like the freeze fame bonus if the books at the start, Good Charlotte’s Web was the one that caught my eye first but he others are neat references (though Web is the best one I could make out)
Also ‘Joe’ is a Racoon for some reason? There’s some statement about him taking a hiatus or something, so it makes me wonder if it’s actually Joe under there or if it’s someone else instead. Does that also mean that whoever would play his part at gigs would also have to wear a Racoon outfit? I hope not because that would get insanely hot and hard to see (right?)
Also, for no other reason than I watched it last night, here is an extra video that has zero relation to FOB’s. So here is Weather’s video for Problems.
I decided last night to look through some of Weathers videos when I couldn’t sleep and this was the one that I found that stuck out. It’s a song from the first album (which I really need to listen to more) and it stuck out for a few reasons.
The band are trying to get a briefcase for some reason (it doesn’t seem there’s a hint of what’s meant to be in it, but the logical assumption is money). You get the guys barging into a store to rob the case with gives us Cameron with a bandana (red, which my brain helpfully reminded me was bandana code for fisting), with guns (Cameron looks kinda hot with them) apart from one of the other guys that had a samurai sword for some reason (also hot and also I need to learn the others names). They get the case and it turns out to be all for nothing as the case is full of big plushie ducks (I’d call that a win though)
There’s also strange dance moves (which must’ve been made for the song as some are in the other version of the vid, more on that later), which I do like for some reason. Though honestly they missed out. They put a line about crawling on the floor and Cameron does zero crawling. What a waste. Though I did like the bit where the two guitars (or guitar and bass) cross their necks in front of Cameron.
Also it seems Cameron directs the videos (he did Where Do I Sign? Too) which has me thinking how much is his idea.
For some reason there’s another video for Problems, which is completely different and incomprehensible thing that was released a year later according to their YouTube. Other than having some of the dance moves it’s a completely different thing (and the band feel superfluous to it.
