Billy Gilman - Crying
Uploaded by: BillabongNL
Video Description:
Video-idea for Billy's latest release, "Crying". This is just my idea of a music video for this song. If I got to be the director, this is probably what I'd do. The pictures support camera-angles, actions, expressions, scenes and surroundings. The clothes are what I chose for Billy to "wear" and the text tells what's happening because the pics can't always tell.
Lyrics:
I was all right for a while
I could smile for a while
but I saw you last night
You held my hand so tight
as you stopped to say hello
oh You wished me well,
You couldn't tell that
I've been crying over you,
Crying over you and you said "So long"
Left me standing all alone,
Alone and crying, crying, crying, crying
It's hard to understand
[Crying lyrics on http://www.metrolyrics.com]
that the touch of your hand can start me crying
I thought that I was over you
But it's true, so true
I love you even more than I did before
But darling, what can I do?
For you don't love me
and I'll always be
Crying over you, crying over you
yes now you're gone
and from this moment on, I'll be crying, crying, crying, crying
Yeah, crying, crying over you

Tell a friend:

You had an opportunity to create anything you could imagine and this is what you come up with?
Come on, man. You're living in the post-modern era. Break out a little.
The car: Billy likes it too.
The shots: How can the shots be cliche and cheesy? Maybe we should film people from apartment buildings next and see if it's gonna be the next big hit.
Thanks for commenting on the VIDEO instead of the song though, but I don't really agree with you =)
PS Call me dude or man one more time and I'll let you know just how much of a girl I am
On further inspection, your video is amazing. A singer driving a cool car in cool clothes. Sitting in a sunlit bedroom. Never been done before.
My comment on the song? A safe cover of a Roy Orbison song. Not great, not bad. Just another cover.
Thanks for not going "shut up you retard you're fucking gay".. You don't have to like the video, but most REAL music videos aren't that super original either.
It wasn't intended as a personal attack -- I just hate to see creativity dying due to this vending-machine-style society. It seems people now have this excuse to not really try. Thank God for Michel Gondry and Chris Cunningham.
