My favorite time of year is any time Demi Lovato or Paramore decide to release new things. It could be a single, an album, or just a music video. Within a week I was spoiled by the release of Demi's new video for Skyscraper and Paramore's new video for Monster off of the Transformers soundtrack.
First up is Demi's Skyscraper video..
I'll admit that I was hesitant at first with the title. It didn't make me want to listen to the song.. who sings about buildings? But I was completely wrong. You can feel her passion burn when she sings this song, and the video makes her feelings even more apparent. The girl was in a pretty damn dark place, but she dug herself out of it. Her comeback song is crucial and I think she'll gain the respect and admiration she deserves from those who hear this song. Check out the video posted above. I promise you wont be disappointed.
Next up is Paramore's Monster video..
Awesome filming. Great editing. with an ending twist. Every time Paramore releases a new video they surpass their last by miles. This band continues to move forward despite all of the drama. Minus two members, Paramore wrote and released their new song for the Transformers soundtrack (which is a damn good album) that came out in June. The meaning behind the song appears to be about the loss of their members (Zach and Josh Farro) with lines like, "Now that you're gone, the world is ours" and "I'm not the villain despite what you're always preaching- call me a traitor, i'm just collecting your victims." The lyrics made me believe their intentions were to stick it to the Farro brothers, but the video threw me off a bit. As you watch the video its clear that the "monster" is the band itself. Check it out and see for yourself the awesomeness that is Paramore :)
