    I don't particularly like rap, but certain songs that employ a rap style stand out...
    I don't speak French, and on first viewing could only leave it open to interpretation...
    and that may be part of the impact, like so many things in art...
    The subject matter for some, even the artist who created it, may be different from what others see depending on what it directs their attention.
    Although I don't have any religious beliefs, I have many beliefs about human nature and psychology, and i saw this while deep in study.

    LYRICS translated
    Fuck the earth, if I die here's my testament
    Place ashes in the mouths of all our opponents
    Turn head-on, kick the fakes who come to meditate
    I want flowers and kids, may my death serve their future
    May Maybe they will understand the meaning of sacrifice
    The difference between values and then artifice
    I know who will cry and why
    You are welcome, there will be no upstarts
    Just people from the street
    The people press will only have smicards and undocumented people
    Badly tailored suits, even if the guys wanted to dress well
    Ci-gît Claude, Initiale MC
    A kid who wanted the life of others to be like poetry
    And above all, won't believe that there will be ten thousand girls
    I say that for my family, I hadn't gone into a spin
    They throw me some dirt, they lay a few flowers
    Alone under his weeping willow tree Solaar Cry
    Solaar it's time, listen Solaar is crying
    Solaar it's time, listen Solaar is crying
    My soul rises, I see you from a low angle
    It's those who have already left that I'm going to find
    Don't worry, no, I'm leaving for paradise
    Not to show off but to profess the seventh prophecy
    I held my own to the masters, to the priests, to the traitors
    To the false asses without cortex who still dance the funky jerk
    If it's you, bend over, walk low profile and shut up
    Look for an aura otherwise go, hold on! erase yourself
    Apologize for the harm I may have done, it is involuntary
    I was a mercenary, rather than a missionary
    I am sorry and to be honest I wish that God would whip me
    God you are the letter, we must respect you
    Archangel, understand me in the name of the father
    Some find me exceptional but I didn't do elementary
    The mike cries, the leaf cries, the pen cries
    And under the weeping willow Solaar cries
    Solaar it's time, listen Solaar is crying
    Solaar it's time, listen Solaar is crying
    I am in paradise, I roam the plains
    In search of free riders in the garden of Eden
    I controlled the angels, no hatred but no enemies
    Otherwise I have the penknife and I inaugurate the murder in paradise
    J Played skinny whenever I was provoked
    Contemplative and ordered, I forgave without forgiving
    But I was no hero, just a dude of bones and water
    Now I'm a soul who hovers lost without a pen
    Eden exterminator, exterminating angel
    Bouncer matador of the divine examiner
    Assure me that it is by mistake that I trip with the angels
    And sends me immediately towards the flames and then the mire
    500 one plus 165, 111 times 6 ,the antichrist barcode
    I see pigs and boars, fire and blood linked
    I pray because I'm afraid, Satan is laughing,
    Solaar is crying, Solaar is crying, Solaar is crying
    No, why me? It's a mistake
    Keep me, I'm noble of heart
    Stop the heat, I'm spitting on Beelzebub
    I'll keep the faith and then I get the uppercut
    Why the blame? Why these flames?
    Why this roaster who burns us?
    This Chétane donkey hovers over our souls
    He lives by fire, will perish by the flame thrower
    From Lake Lancelot, double A of the grail
    Rabbi, priest, imam, pray, help oim, why me?
    Why this karma, Zarma, I carried the faith to Fatma's hand
    I'm like a desperado gladiator
    Sent to hell for a commando mission
    Lucifer can't you see that God is strong
    If we are united, we will will send to touch death
    Solaar is crying, his tears are extinguishing the flames
    Free the souls, bring Abraham back to life
    The devil is in agony, let's unite our forces
    Great Architect Buddha, Theresa, let's puff up our chests
    Pray, help me, he is staggering, he is limping
    He is burning up, he is smokes, he only has one paw left
    I see that he is in pain, I see that he is screaming
    He created evil and it is evil that burns him
    Good enters the beast of the apocalypse
    As if pushed by a helix so that his aura eclipses
    Rael, Ezekiel, with the light fight the supreme evil Evil
    howls, I hear it howl
    Flowers grow, el diablo is charred
    It implodes, it explodes
    Andantimatter spring bruises
    Satan is dead, good comes back to life
    When will the earth be a new paradise
    We no longer know what to do, we no longer know what to do
    Hell is on Earth and who manages it?

    Things that change how you see everything... how you feel about everything.
    It isn't always about falling in love with a person.
    Sometimes it's about discovering ways to forgive all people in ways you hadn't realized even existed..
    To better understand what we really ARE in this universe...
    The love that enables surely makes one feel alive...for the very first time.
    LYRICS:
    Every day is a new day
    I'm thankful for every breath I take
    I won't take it for granted (I won't take it for granted)
    So I learn from my mistakes
    It's beyond my control sometimes it's best to let go,
    Whatever happens in this lifetime
    So I trust in love (So I trust in love)
    You have given me peace of mind
    I, I feel so alive
    For the very first time
    I can't deny you
    I feel so alive
    I, I feel so alive (so alive)
    For the very first time (For the very first time)
    And I think I can fly
    Sunshine upon my face (Sunshine upon my face)
    A new song for me to sing
    Tell the world how I feel inside (Tell the world how I feel inside)
    Even though it might cost me everything
    Now that I know this is beyond my control
    'Cause I could never turn my back away
    Now that I see you (Now that I see you)
    I can never look away
    I, I feel so alive
    For the very first time
    I can't deny you
    I feel so alive
    I, I feel so alive (so alive)
    For the very first time (For the very first time)
    And I think I can fly
    And now that I know you
    I could never turn my back away
    And now that I see you
    I could never look away
    And now that I know you
    I could never turn my back away
    And now that I see you
    I believe no matter what they say
    I, I feel so alive
    For the very first time
    I can't deny you
    I feel so alive
    I, I feel so alive (so alive)
    For the very first time (For the very first time)
    And I think I can fly
    I, I feel so alive (so alive)
    For the very first time (For the very first time)
    And I think I can fly
    I, I feel so alive (so alive)
    For the very first time (For the very first time)
    And I think I can fly
    And I think I can fly
    And I think I can fly

    This video and Rubber Johnny is suitable to give me nightmares. :woot::wow:
    But when I watch "Window Licker" after it, everything will be fine! These are so funny. :wink::disco:
    Especially the way the two guys talk to each other at the beginning and how they dance in the end credits. I can't stop laughing every time.

    As much as it feels weird to admit, "Helena" by My Chemical Romance. I couldn't tell you why as I was never into ANY music scene of any kind (videogame music being the closest) but the first time I saw it back some 16-17 years ago as a 21-year-old, it absolutely blew my mind. Probably has something to do with the fact that I saw it early in the morning and was the first thing I saw after waking up from a very realistic and emotional dream where I was in a local mall that was getting progressively darker and abandoned like a tamer version of Silent Hill only to come to the end and find my then-best friend in a coffin with a spotlight on him like an extremely private funeral viewing or some shit.



    But since then and today even, this music video still speaks to me. There is not one shot, frame, costume or dance move I would want changed. It is beyond perfect to me and I don't know why, it just is.

    Steppenwolf - Born To Be Wild

    It ain't official video, but the intro of the movie itself.
    If anyone hasn't seen it yet u def. should. Jack Nicholson's role was fantastic.

    Well, it's difficult if not impossible to choose among hundreds of clips and I follow Mtv since 80's and I saw so f.. many.
    Powerful... it means visually I guess... Some of them were disturbing, some were pleasant, however the first that comes in mind is
    Soundgarden - Black hole sun

    but if I should give the prize for best videoclip makers ever (and artist), this will surely go to
    OK GO.
    Absolutely brilliant, they never miss a shot and the complexity and creativity of their clips is to me undisputed.
    Have a look to ANY of their clips, you'll be astonished.
    Here a wonderful example, made on a Vomit Comet (0 gravity plane):

    This, back in the days when we were actually paranoid and terrified it might actually happen and soon.

    Actually I don't know when that video was made, I did see it years ago online but can't recall if I saw it back in the early '80s. Certainly heard the song back then.
