but I'm not a soldier

Ensimmäistä kertaa nähtyäni tämän videon en tiennyt sen olevan Unicefin kampanjavideo. Alku on hyvinkin kliseinen musiikkivideomainen leikkauksineen ja väreineen. Oikeastaan mistään muusta kuin kohtaukseen valitusta epätavallisesta musiikista (tai kyseiseen kappaleeseen epätavallisen näköisestä kohtauksesta) heräsi epäilykset ja samalla myös mielenkiinto.

The Killersien kappale on synkkä, ahdistavan uhkaava, tikittävä kello. Myös iloiset pusuttelukohtaukset ja huultenmaalaukset vaihtuvat kuitenkin pikku hiljaa vastaamaan tätä tunnelmaa.

Pian selviää, että nopeahkot leikkaukset eivät olekaan välittäneet tapahtuneesta katsojalle ihan kaikkea. Ideallisesti oivaltava toteutus toistaa videossa samaa kohtausta yhä uudelleen, mutta ajassamatkustavat kohtaukset kertovat kerta kerran jälkeen yhä enemmän. Sama kohtaus esittäytyy uudessa valossa, kun katsoja huomaa pala palalta, ettei kaikki olekaan miltä alkujaan näytti.

Ahdistuneet mikroilmeet naisen kasvoilla kielivät jo jotain. Harmaa sävytteisen maailman kurjalta näyttävät ihmiset ja karu betonihuone astuvat kuvaan, ja tarinan todellinen puoli on kaunista rakkauskohtausta järkyttävämpää.

Tässä kyse ei ole juurikaan rakkaudesta. Some things cost more than you realise. Istulause herättää niin sanomallaan kuin tavalla, jolla se ilmaistaan. Musiikin huippu on vaikuttavimmillaan ja yksitellen, takaperoisesti ilmestyvät lauseen sanat ovat kuin takaumat videossa. Joskus vain lopun näkeminen ei ole koko totuus.

oh oh ohoh oh oh oooah x4

It started with a low light,
Next thing I knew they ripped me from my bed;
And then they took my blood type,
they left a strange impression in my head.
You know that I was hoping,
That I could leave this star-crossed world behind;
But when they cut me open,
I guess I changed my mind.
And you know I might
Have just flown too far from the floor this time,
'cause they calling me by my name!
And the zipping white light beams
disregarding bombs and satellites!

That was the turning point;
That was one lonely night!

The star maker says, "It ain't so bad"
The dream maker's gonna make you mad
The spaceman says, "Everybody look down!
Its all in your mind!"

Well now I'm back at home and-
IÂ’m looking forward to this life I live;
You know it's gonna haunt me,
So hesitation to this life I give.
You think you might cross over,
You caught between the devil and the deep blue sea;
You better look it over,
Before you make that leap!

And you know I'm fine, but I hear those voices at night
sometimes... they justify my claim,
and the public donÂ’t dwell on my transmission
'cause it wasnÂ’t televised...

But, it was a turning point,
Oh what a lonely night!

The star maker says, "It ain't so bad"
The dream maker's gonna make you mad;
The spaceman says, "Everybody look down!
Its all in your mind!"
The star maker says, "It ain't so bad"
The dream maker's gonna make you mad;
The spaceman says, "Everybody look down!
Its all in your mind!"

My global position systems are vocally addressed;
They say the Nile used to run from east to west,
They say the Nile used to runÂ… from east to west.

I'm fine,
but I hear those voices at night,
sometime...

The star maker says, "It ain't so bad"
The dream maker's gonna make you mad;
The spaceman says, "Everybody look down!
Its all in your mind!"
The star maker says, "It ain't so bad"
The dream maker's gonna make you mad;
The spaceman says, "Everybody look down...
Its all in your mind!"

oh oh oh oh oh oh oooah x8
It's all in my mi-i-ind,
It's all in my mind...

oh oh oh oh oh oh oooah x8

When I offer you survival,
You say it's hard enough to live,
It's not so bad, it's not so bad
How do you know that you're right?

I awoke on the roadside,
In the land of the free ride,
And I can't pull it any longer,
The sun is beating down my neck

So I ran with the devil
Left a trail of excuses,
Like a stone on the water,
The elements decide my fate,
Watch it go..."bling".

When I offer you survival,
You say it's hard enough to live,
Don't tell me that it's over,
Stand up
Poor and tired,
But more than this

How do you know that you're right?
If you're not nervous anymore,
It's not so bad, it's not so bad

I feel my vision slipping in and out of focus,
But I'm pushing on for that horizon,
I'm pushing on,
Now I've got the blowing wind against my face

So you sling rocks at the rip tide,
Am I wrong or am I right?
I hit the bottom with a "huh!"
Quite strange,
I get my glory in the desert rain,
Watch it go..."bling".

When I offer you survival,
You say it's hard enough to live,
And I'll tell you when it's over,
Shut up poor and tired,
But more than this

How do you know that you're right?
If you're not nervous anymore,
It's not so bad, it's not so bad...

Higher and higher,
We're gonna take it,
Down to the wire,
We're gonna make it,
Out of the fire,
Higher and higher. <i>[x2]

Higher and higher,
We're gonna take it,
Down to the wire,
We're gonna make it out,
Whoa-oh-oh Higher and higher...

It ain't hard to hold,
When it shines like gold,
You'll remember me.

~BLING (CONFESSIONS OF A KING)~

Emmä nyt sentään joulupukkiin oo kuumana :''DD
Brandon purrr, suloisuus<3

Det börjar närma sej vår allas käraste högtid, så nu är det dags för lite musik för att få oss i rätt stämning!!! Låten är The Killers förra årets julsingle, Don't Shoot Me Santa. En intressant fakta är dessutom att låten kom med på förra Volts nomination av världens fyra bästa julsånger.

Videon är kul, värd att ses på.

Oh Santa
I've been waiting on you
That's funny kid
Because I've been coming for you
Oh Santa
I've been killing just for fun
Well the party's over kid
Because I
Because I got a bullet in my gun
A bullet in your what?

Santa's got a bullet in his gun
You know it, Santa's got a bullet in his gun

Don't shoot me Santa Claus
I've been a clean living boy
I promise you
Did every little thing you asked me to
I can't believe the things I'm going through

Don't shoot me Santa Claus
Well no one else around believes me
But the children on the block they tease me
I couldn’t let them off that easy

Oh Santa
It's been a real hard year
There just ain't no gettin' around this
Life is hard
But look at me
I turned out alright
Hey Santa
Why don't we talk about it?
Work it out
Believe me
This ain't what I wanted
I love all you kids, you know that
Hell, I remember when you were just 10 years old

Playing out there in the desert
Just waiting for a sip of that sweet Mojave rain
In the sweet Mojave rain
The boy was on his own

Don't shoot me Santa Claus
I've been a clean living boy
I promise you
Did every little thing you asked me to
I can't believe the things I'm going through

Hey Santa Claus
Well no one else around believes me
But the children on the block they tease me
I couldn’t let them off that easy

They had it coming
So why can’t you see?
I couldn't turn my cheek no longer
The sun is going down and Christmas is near
Just look the other way and I’ll disappear forever

Woo!

Don't shoot me Santa Claus
Well no one else around believes me
But the children on the street they tease me
I couldn't let them off that easy

Believe me
Santa
Santa

i don't mind if you don't mind,
cause i don't shine if you don't shine
