what lasts about 4 to 5 minutes,and if it is good,it'll leave you wanting more?
clue: it's not sex.

answer: video clip

yep. i now, understand the power of video clips.in the past,i've always regarded them as a
pathetic way of listening (and watching) to music.it also didn't help that most of the clips i've
seen are boring,dull (read:lack sexy women) but until recently, i've always thought that it was
only the music that mattered.

i was wrong, and boy, am i glad i was.

for example,take the funk/rock band, RHCP.their latest album was great, but i disagreed.i think
it's quite mellow, especially after what they displayed in 'californication'. when the first single
came out ('by the way'),i didn't listen to it often 'cuz it was kinda 'flat'.that was before i saw the
video clip.by the time i saw it the first time, i was hooked.when 'can't stop' came out, i knew
there must be an exciting clip somewhere.yup.

the clip was, and still is awesome.or should i say... 'shock-and-awe'-some.ha ha.

same thing can be said about this particular supergroup. nope,i'm not talking about audioslave,
although i hope that they could come out with a better second album, if they last long enough,
that is.

can you guess? well, here's the lyris to their latest song

"Honestly"

I believe
I believe
I believe
I believe the love you talk about with me
is it true, do I care
honestly, you can try to wipe the memories aside
but it's you that you erase

'cause there's no place that I could be without you
it's too far to discard the life I once knew
honestly, all the weather storms are bringing
are just a picture of my dreams
'cause when I think of you as mine
and allow myself with time
to lead into the life we want
I feel loved, honestly
I feel loved, this honestly

I believe you mean the best that life can bring
I believe in it all
honestly, you can try
your heart is just as long as mine
is it ours to let go

'cause there's not place that I could be without you
it's too dark to discard the life I once knew
honestly, a single wrong is not enough
to cover up the pain in us
'cause when I think of you as mine
and allow myself with time
to lead into the life we want
I feel loved, honestly
I'll make a joke so you must laugh
I'll break your heart so you must ask
is this the way to get us back
I don't know, honestly
I don't know, this honestly

there's no place that I could be without you
honestly

there's no place that I could be without you
there's no place that I could gleam without you
there's no place that I could dream without you
there's no place that I could be without you
honestly



brilliant,brilliant song.
