The second best music video I've seen to date...

...is Live's Heaven from their 2003 album, Birds of Pray. Can you believe there's only 97 views of the MV on YouTube? It's also quite hard to look for it since the band's name and the song title are common.

What's harder is information on the location where this MV was shot-Wikipedia has nothing on it!

Aisha O' Aisha, the 'Heaven' video has been viewed over 150 thousand times la. How can such a popular song be viewed only over 100 times? Unless only Tan Aisha and Zhu Whee watch the video (both of us watch 50 times each which is kinda ridiculous). Lol.

It's a shame English radio stations in Malaysia hardly play the song anymore. The last time I heard the song was like 2 yrs ago on Mix.Fm? Haha. But then again maybe I myself hardly listen to the radio nowadays la. Here's the link for the 'original' video, so you feel happier:-

Oh yea, I forgot. Thanks for the postcard you sent me! =) Will reply to you when i'm free ya. Yea, I got the latest Coldplay album and it's awesome! Have you bought it? My favourite song on the album is 'Death and All His Friends'. The song convinced me that Coldplay is definitely one of the best rock bands at the moment, if not the best. It starts off rather slow then reaches it's climax like some breathtaking U2 song.

Some of my other favourite songs are 'Cemeteries of London', '42', 'Strawberry Swing', and 'Lovers of Japan'. The intro 'Life in Technicolor' also proofs that Coldplay can sound good when it comes to techno and not suck at it. Haha. I have a feeling that 'Lost' is gonna be a hit song. It sounds like a hispanic song (When are they gonna have hot chicks in their MVs?) and now I know why the album is called 'Viva La Vida' =) Oh yea, and the song 'Yes' sounds like an Iranian/Saudi Arabian song! Lol. All in All, I thoroughly enjoyed the whole album. I reckon it's better than 'Parachutes' and 'X & Y'. Is it better than 'A Rush of Blood'? You'll have to judge the album yourself.

I'm still waiting for your album review =p

HAHA oh my gosh I can't believe that it's been viewed that much! I thought Live was some kind of quiet indie band in the US. Thanks for the link! Haha.

Finally, someone likes Viva La Vida! So many people told me they absolutely hated the album, 'cos it was too different (I have yet to buy it, so quite neutral haha). U2 also tested new boundaries in Achtung Baby (or was it Joshua Tree? not a U2 fan la haha), so I don't see why Coldplay shouldn't evolve too, you know?

Lost! rocks my socks off! Yeah they should totally put in some hot chicks being lost in this song's MV. LOL. If this song is not another single, it should be used as a Digi or Nokia commercial.

Better than Parachutes? Wow. Now I'm really curious about VLV!
