This might seem lame, but I love watching music videos to songs that I love! And when there isn't one, I like to make one up in my head. So I thought it might be interesting to ask the question "if you could pick any of KOL's songs to make a music video to, which one would it be? And how do you envision it?" It could even be one of the songs that became a music video, but it wasn't how you pictured it. I would pick CLOSER Since it has a very spooky vibe, all the images I see are very dark with a blue tint to it. I can imagine a girl as the heroine of the video being woken up to the sound of Caleb's voice. Then revealing KOL playing in a dark cave near the ocean. Swooping camera movement follows the girl as she treks through a vast forest to find them. When she finally gets to where they are there is nothing there but some smokey darkness, and the lingering of their music. Then she turns around "bam" darkness... OH MY GOD!!! This is SO close to what I wanna do with Closer! It totally has to be dark, bluish tint, yeah, that's the color that song makes me "feel" every time! The ocean, yes, nighttime, caves...the only difference is I always imagine Matt walking barefoot along the beach during his guitar solo (at the end), wind blowing through his hair, with a full moon shining on him. I really like music videos set in nature especially in water (like "Boston" from Augustana, AMAZING) I'd like something like that with Closer. OMG imagine the boys soaking wet, I don't think i'd stay alive to see the end of it!

Trunk
It would fade from black panning over the Arizona Desert at night. As the bass guitar comes in the camera finds the band playing in the middle of a dirt road. As the song progresses you start to see long shots of a classic car (I'm thinking '67 Mustang) driving fast down that same dirt road. The shots of the car are getting closer. When the "Whoo..." parts start you see that the person driving the car is a pretty brunette with her long hair blowing in the wind. Continue like this with shots of the band and shots of the girl driving until near the end of the song. She sees the band in the middle of the road and on the last symbol crash when the bass stops she hits the brakes, the car slides and creates a big wall of dust that covers the band. She gets out of the car as the last guitar part is played stand and watches the dust settle and on the last note when the dust settles she finds... An empty road.

I'd do Trani for defo. Picture this... KOL are playing Trani in a nice southern bar for some punters. Lots of shots of them while they're playing and shots of the Bartender who is actually Nacho. Then just as the music gets crazy and the solo kicks in, lo and behold, a Trani walks in! This starts a massive bar brawl and everyones really mad and punching and kicking. Then when it gets calm everything slows down. Then when the music kicks in once more they start fighting real time again. Then right at the end Matt drop his guitar and beats everyone up The other Kings are "WOW"! Matt grabs a beer, winks at the camera and walks out Sorted.

cold desert for this video i imagine something very cinematic with a sad story based around the strong bond of two sisters. The leading ladies would be Lily Aldridge and Camilla Belle. i think there is a striking resemblance i10.photobucket.com/albums/a126/eileen_v_85/kings%20of%20leon/cl.jpgA desert setting at dawn, Camilla walks along the side of a lonely highway. All she has are the clothes on her back, and a pair of beat up cowboy boots. She's got her hood on from her sweatshirt, with her dark locks hanging around her neck. She kicks the loose gravel around, and has her hands in her pocket. Every now and again she checks the road for late night drivers, and sticks her thumb out to passersby. The cars zoom past her. Flashback: In a rundown apartment complex in blistering hot Las Vegas, there sits a family portrait. Two beautiful sisters with dark long hair and their frail mother. In the reflection of the photo there is a scuffle. Camilla, the younger more rebellious sister is mouthing off to an overweight asshole of a stepfather. The photo shakes and falls over from the commotion. Back in the desert, Camilla has her arms crossed around herself. Her eyes are dripping with tears, and running black mascara. Flashback: back at the apartment, Camilla is storming out the door, and Lily is trying to pull her back in. Camilla forcefully pushes her down, and disappears around the corner. Lily sits with her knees up to her chin and rests her face on her arms. Desert: In the distance a black 1982 toyota celica supra is speeding with one high beam on. In the interior of the car is Lily. Her eyes are scanning the long stretch of road that lays ahead. She spots Camilla, and immediately slams on the breaks. Skid marks are printed onto the uneven pavement. Through a thin dust cloud, Lily opens the door for Camilla to get in. the music fades, as the two girls get settled in the car. Lily turns the heater on full blast. Camilla shakes the chills out, and places her hands over the vent. Lily says, "Let's get out of this place." Camilla smirks, and shoots Lily a look of contentment. "Where are we going?" "Who the fuck cares!?" Lily says with an eyebrow raised. The end of the song fades back in as the old car drives farther and farther into the distance. The heat ripples of the sun rising in the horizon melts away the blue tint of dawn. Fade to black. ...and intertwined throughout the video are the kings playing at a dive bar where the two sisters work at.

^^haha that's a good point!...but i guess this is my inner film school geek coming out! i love to envision all the possibilities! just had a vision of what radioactive could be... i can see the boys on a platform in the middle of the ocean. They are performing, of course, and waves are crashing all around them. The platform is swaying violently with the water. The boys are getting knocked around a bit, but their feet are planted firmly in place. The camera would be through the eyes of a shark, circling around the boys, its head bobbing in and out of the water. And I see aerial shots from above, like a helicopter is coming to save them. oh man!!! I can't wait to see what the actual video will be like!

I would love for 'Ragoo' to be made into a film clip. Similar to 'On Call', it would begin with them walking 'round to their stations in which they play. It would be filmed on Uluru (I had this idea before it became illegal to navigate the iconic rock) so red dirt would be swilling around them in the breeze. There would be an abundance of extreme close-ups and regular close-ups of each band member... and as it comes to a close, they would be forced to jump in a lagoon of sorts. We ain't even been to the ocean, my arse.

I would redirect radioactive cause the video doesn't fit my vision of what it would be like. I imagined the video to be something like the home videos they made back in 2008 for only by the night which shows them with family and friends in nashville. Cause seems as they've descibed the song radioactive to be a song they've worked on since the second album i felt it had a 'homely' feel to it that they could do a montage of a series of random home videos of them selves over the past 5 years to show how much they've changed or something

I would pick Holy Roller Novocaine, Joe`s Head or Velvet Snow. The first ones would be funny to tell the story in the clip. The last one i always imagine some guy dancing like a crazy weirdo when Caleb sings: ``Dancing like you`ll never dance no more``

Pick up truck because every time i hear it i think this: At the beginning its Caleb and a girl (preferably Lily) And there walking on the street in a neighbor hood. They get to the door of a house and hug, and right then a red pick-up truck pulls in. A guy gets out and starts yelling at both of them (He's probably drunk) he turns to Lily and starts yelling at her. Caleb intervenes and the guy shoves him. Theres an intense pause and then Caleb punches him in the face. They start fighting and Lily is standing there yelling and crying. The guy gets Caleb on the ground and starts kicking him. Lily tries to help but she gets shoved away by the guy. Then Matt, Nathan, and Jared all come from across the street and pull the guy away from Caleb. Lily runs toward Caleb, who is unconscious and clutches him. The view turns to sky view and the camera pans upward ans the music fades out. Sorry
