Eye-catching Music Videos

Sade's "Soldier of Love" music video has a hypnotizing element that you just can not take your eyes away. Director Sophie Muller was very successful at portraying this melody into a visual masterpiece. This video is such a beautiful metaphor of the song and the internal conflicts that humans go through. I am truly inspired by this music video and I would like to thank Sophie Muller, Sade and the rest of the band and production crew for making such a beautiful video.



Jay Z Feat. Swiss Beats' "On to the Next One" music video is a beautiful artistic interpretation of the lyrics by Director Sam Brown. He took a very straight forward song and turned it into a combination of iconic black and white images that pop out at you with a certain shock value. This video will probably be featured in a fine art museum one day as an iconic video of an era.

Best beginning of any video I've ever seen. Super badass and glamorous at the same time. Great Editing and costumes.

Tool "Parabola"

I think this video is a piece of art. It is beautiful,
unique, intricate, mind bending,
and visually stimulating.

Whenever I watch this video I become relaxed and happy.
I really love the way they used the toys and edited them together with the music.
