“2008 I had a dream to chase, I told all my friends all the money I would make. They doubted me gave the lemonade face, two years later how that lemonade taste?” – Wally.Vega

This dude is going to be big. Please familiarize yourself. Vega’s In The House coming soon.

About Vega:

“I am humanitarian hidden in a musicians clothes. So my music is racing against time to change the world. I write for that person that I’ll never meet, who’s two tears away from defeat.”

The previously released version was good but I love the imagery on this one. I’m going to end up re-watching this vid 10 or so times tonight just to catch some of the symbolism that may have ‘went over my head’.

I LOVE NY! Gentrification can’t make or break us. We are still here!

I can’t wait till New Years Eve in NYC! This is a video that makes your reflect on ‘how’ and ‘with who’ you celebrate the New Year. Too bad MGMT and Ratatat couldn’t make their cameos. I wonder how they would have been incorporated.

In my opinion even better than the 2 Weeks video from the same album,’Veckatimest‘. They make me proud to be from Brooklyn. No, really. I’m serious.

This song brings tears of happiness to my face. Director Nando Costa and Portland production company Bent Image Lab went in!

“Whale Song” for Modest Mouse from Bent Image Lab on Vimeo.

You know a song was worth writing when you have it touch a person that you may not have been able to originally reach. Imagine how many Fray fans just started looking through Kanye’s discography.

Great job on the video.

I had to smile when I watched this. Who doesn’t love multicultural kids, alternative-mainstream artists, and zebras? lol sarcasm aside, I really thought this achieved the objective of the creative brief. Branded songs/music videos are the future. Can anyone spot the Coke product? No, probably not. This campaign is aiming to be more of a movement. A movement filled with feelings related to optimism, hope, and a brighter future.
