homage to america

time for another music video post like kenza and iain do. this one contains my favorite songs aboot america.

first up is my love, my obsession, my muse, mr. david bowie. this song reminds me of roller skates and childhood summers and milkshakes on warm evenings. which is really all i want at the moment. this video gets even better when he dances.



next is another favorite, tom petty. this is by far my favorite song he's done and always reminds me of fast times at ridgemont high (which is a good thing). the beginning of this song always picks me up when i'm feeling down. also reminds me of summer time and a life free of worry and responsibility.


American Girl (Live Midnight Special 1978) - Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers - Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers

keeping with the title theme, last year's estelle and kanye team-up. i realize the song got a little played out but it really reminds me of my trip to thailand last summer and brings nothing but good feelings and incredible memories.


American Boy [Feat. Kanye West] - Estelle

lastly, a long time favorite, murphy's law. this band embodied young america in the 80's. my pick for this post was America Rules but i could only find a video for three songs together. this doesn't bother me because they are all great and all about america. this band has a lot to do with the person i've turned into ironically enough.
