soulDecision - Faded
For the inaugural post, I’m going with one of the few Canadian pop singles of the boy-band era that probably isn’t forgotten by everyone: “Faded” by soulDecision. I remember hearing this on Rick Dees top 40 or something like that and having my mind blown because I didn’t think a band from Canada could get on American shows.
Apparently, lead singer Trevor Guthrie wasn’t too happy with how the band was branded in the video (to boy-bandish for a group who actually wrote songs and played instruments. Remember when that was an issue?) Too be fair, there ARE clips showing them holding guitars and stuff. Here’s his MySpace.
NOTES:
Man, this guy uses his eyebrows to convey his feelings. I can just hear the director: “Sexier! Lick those lips!”
On a similar note, which one of the three do you think was chosen by the label to be the heartthrob? Hint: it’s not the one with the goatee. It never is.
WTF is going on in this apartment? There’s a guy in a cage, some girl hanging up (counterfeit?) money, and some sort of purple basketball court. I don’t even want to go back and see what was going on with that old lady and the camera.
1:37. He’s feeling it.
This song gets bonus points for reminding everyone of Thrust for a second. Then he went back to being unknown.
Videos where the singer looks directly into the camera: yes or no?
