Joe's Classics

Everlong is probably the Foo Fighter's definitive song coming from their number one selling album "The Colours and the Shape". Michel Gondry signs on to direct this single and it's apparent with some of his reoccurring themes of dreams, oversized objects, stop motion, creative transitions, and its surreal and fantastic feeling.

This music video will be forever branded into my brain from my childhood when my older cousins used to watch MTV and The Box after coming to my house after school. As a child, I of course never tuned to those channels regularly, but I'm glad I got exposed to such great imagery.

Gondry is a master of the film medium. His interpretation of dreams are bizarre and surreal. He captures the oddity of dreams and his use of transitions almost describe perfectly the dream world. If there's anyone that has gotten close to translating dreams into a medium, it is Michel Gondry with celluloid.
