"your girlfriend is really beautiful, did you notice she's a bird?"
Finally got around to watching the 35min 'movie' Runaway by Kanye West.
It makes basically no sense.
But did you expect it to?
Between bird chicks
fireworks
a marching band
the KKK
lambs & fawns
a giant Michael Jackson head
ballet dancers
(which have a distinctive Black Swan vibe, if I may say so)
and
phoenixes
it's quite the... eclectic mix.
The jump between the tracks off of My Dark Twisted Fantasy is generally pretty jarring and most don't seem to really fit, but that's sort of like trying to make a musical out of old ABBA songs. It doesn't have the same flow.
However, the video portion
the Runaway video itself
is beautiful
absolutely gorgeous
I can't stress it enough
and even though you could do without the last 10min (and maybe the first 15) I can't help but like the whole thing
content be damned
it's bloody beautiful to look at
and I think that was the point
really
but if you don't have 35 mins to kill
definitely check out the vid for Runaway
then go listen to the album again
cause you remembered how good it is.
That's what I'm gonna do.
