Don't Let Your Mind Tell The Story Here

Mitchell's the man. I'm the idiot. You're the screw-up. And we're all losers. Welcome to Music Town.
-- Joe from Empire Records

I always wondered why some bands make several video versions of their song. For example, U2's song One has at least 3 types that I am aware of. Abit ironic considering the name of the song.

I guess its partly creativity and partly marketing. After all, some different visions appeal to different people.

While I was rummaging around abit, looking for the video to Open Up Your Eyes by Tonic, I stumbled on this version, which I could only call "The Pretty Version."



Of course there is the more known, more popular roller skating version.



I wondered if this one was thought up by some corporate suit in order to make the song more memorable. I guess it worked since its the video I found more often. The band even have it displayed on their site.

It was just one of those silly things that made me go "Hmmm."
