Jukebox Fanworks Exchange

thoughts/questions/constructive criticism v welcome cause I’m trying to narrow down the list. I always end up asking for everything in monster letters and I need to chill (also these are only music videos; I have a whole different list of songs alone)

hard rain - Lykke Li (music video)
-cinematography goes hard. that PALETTE
-chemistry between the leads is real, sometimes mysterious, sometimes frightening, sometimes tender
-there's still plenty of questions left and plenty of space for someone to write a story to fit the vibe
-did I mention the cinematography

Don’t Pull Away - J.Views (music video)
-give Indya Moore all the acting awards for this one. she can make looking at the camera mesmerizing, an entire storyline in a few blinks
-(spoilers spoilers spoilers) is so GOOD i SCREAMED
-this one is for all the romantics out there. If you have a soft heart brace yourself
-the palette??? again?????? any still of this is a work of art

Apeshit - The Carters (music video)
-Beyoncé is a queen and a goddess and it will likely be easy to get people to write about one of her songs
-the juxtaposition of dynamic black wealth, joy, and success against the stillness of the Louvre aka one of the most establishment institutions in the art world and highkey located in a country that has of the top 3 most colonialist histories of all time
-her MIND. is so powerful
-there's so many layers to this someone could probably write a dissertation on the fashion alone so like, 1k words about it shouldn't be hard

No Church in the Wild - Kanye West (music video)
-all the symbolism you could ask for, plus magical realism and enough raw energy to power a city
-the sheer brilliant chaotic energy of such images as: a shirtless man mounting a police horse, the silent white figures of old statues lit up amid smoke, an elephant rampaging in the streets in a crowd of protesters
-like this is as powerful as the Apeshit video, but here the revolution is coming from the nameless rather than from a goddess
-Frank Ocean can do absolutely no wrong
-surely someone out there wants to write a fic about the nature of revolution? People like Les Mis and stuff right???

Wolf Totem - THE HU (music video)
-the pre-battle vibes of the Rohirrim galloping across a field in Lord of the Rings
-but with the aesthetic of Mongolian biker gang singing menacingly...vests headbands braided hair long hair flowing free a thing that sounds like an electric guitar but maybe it’s a traditional instrument but also it has a bow and arrow shape to it??? And lots of motorcycles obviously
-I WANNA SEE THE BATTLE

Youngblood - 5 Seconds of Summer (music video)
-STRONG soulmate vibes
-magical realism/Black Mirror San Junipero vibes
-just a bunch of hot young Japanese people dressed as 50s era bikers + their big-skirt-wearing girlfriends
-tattoos
-fistfight in middle of the forest for no particular reason
-the ending is too sad and I just wanna live in the middle forever so that’s almost a fic prompt

Truth Hurts - Lizzo (music video)
-carefree, getting-rid-of-a-bad-ex vibes with incredibly charismatic lead and diverse quirky background cast
-literally so many shipping opportunities, m/m, m/f, f/f, and maybe poly??? Depending on ur interpretation
-the opening verse is absolutely iconic: “I just took a DNA test, turns out: I’m 100% that bitch”
-lingerie!!!
