Why music vidoes are a great expressive medium

Do you remember the first music video? Video killed the radio star by the Buggles. Those were the days when MTV actually played music videos instead of the tripe served as reality shows. Who cares what STD Brett Michaels is catching these days, eh? It was my belief then, and still is, that videos are a fertile forum for self expression. You can capture your dreams, fantasies, philosophies and just plain thoughts and transpose them into a musical story for posterity. How great is that?

I recently caught a video that manifests this belief. It was by an unknown band, the best I can manage was that their name began with a C. Any musical detectives out there wanna find me the band name? The protagonist of the story was a centaur, barechested, foot stomping. You get the idea. He charges to save the heroine, a mermaid who has been captured by an Octopus. Now remember I did say videos vent fantasies. Come now boys, an octopus? 8 tentacles? a beautiful mostly naked girl? Anyway, the centaur battles the octopus, thus freeing her. At the end of the video the centaur holds the mermaid in his arms as they stand atop a craggy cliff, watching the sunset. How much more primal and mythical can you get? He becomes his true self - a stallion. And she turns into, well. A fish.
