COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS ON MUSIC VIDEOS
BABY NOW THAT I FOUND YOU - ALISON KRAUSS
This particular song is a live performance as you can see. It's video quality is quite poor this video has been shot way back on those years. The song mainly speaks of this person, probably a girl (based on my instincts haha), who tells of her love to a boy, and can never let him go, since she has "found" him, thus the title. Alison's hair was still short then.
TRULY MADLY DEEPLY - SAVAGE GARDEN
A song from one of my top rated bands, the summary of the video is that the girl and the boy find each other until the end, they do find each other! Haha. While looking for each other, they see people kissing and showing love to each other and they become aggravated of some sort because they haven't found each other yet. Well, the video quality is good, and the scenes are shot from some country that appraises art and architecture so much because the views are spectacular. Plus the sepia tint of the video adds a subtle touch to the video itself. Nice.
I KNEW I LOVED YOU - SAVAGE GARDEN
Well, one of my favorite songs from one of my most adored bands, haha. The title says it all, it's like premonition or something. Basically, the video goes like this: There's this train wherein Darren Hayes (the vocalist), and Kirsten Dunst (the girl) are sitting, facing each other. After randomly zooming into different people also riding the said train, the lights go off and emergency red lights turn on. People start holding their hands, and after that, Darren and Kirsten (ooh they rhyme haha) reach for each other and hold each other's hands, suddenly bringing snapshots of them being together, full of love, even kissing, happy and all. Then the lights go on again and they release each other's hands, ending the "visions". Then they arrive at the station, exiting at the same time by coincidence. Kirsten smiles at Darren then leaving him. The video is good, and the story as well because it accurately coincides with the lyrics of the song. I personally like it also because of its message. Haha.
ANALYSIS : I personally chose these three videos because they exude the same idea: love. Baby Now That I Found You and Truly Madly Deeply express the concept of loving and never letting go whilst I Knew I Loved You expresses something like love at first sight. Nevertheless, they are all great!

well, love is quite an abstract and general (?) term. perhaps later on towards our more formal research activities you could specify what particular qualifying concepts related to love would you want to write about. also, could you perhaps just choose between the two savage garden videos you presented and then get one more video about love from another artist/band? or, focus on savage garden love songs if you want. :)
