America

-America (Razorlight, 2006) Last decade's best song. Unfortunately this was it from Razorlight. It's hard to match this song, but they never even came close. The song, about a man who seems to have lost all hope, should have given us a hint though. The songs I've heard from their next album were all depressing songs, sung in a depressive manner.



What a boring clip! It does fit the song though. All we see, besides Razorlight playing,are meaningless shots of American roads on the screen in the back. And in the end we see people holding up signs saying 'Lost' and 'feel nothing'. In the end there are also shots of a car, with somebody in it, that was involved in an accident. This is all simply a visual representation of what the text says.There is nothing on the tv or the radio which is meaningful, because everything is American import(Razorlight is a British band). This makes people miserable. So, this clip seems to say, you should listen to Razorlight. They are an intersting, serious band with substance that cares only about its (meaningful) music.
