My Immortal- Evanescence

My immortal is a song by American rock band Evanescence from their debut studio album, Fallen. It is a piano rock song written in slow and free tempo. It talks about a spirit staying with you after death and haunts you until you actually wish that the spirit was gone because it doesn't leave you alone easily.

The mood of the song is quite dramatic and at the same time it is very melancholic, the way the whole video has been played in black and white, this makes it very sentimental. My Immortal is a song of pain and despair caused by the loss of a family member or very close friend and how it drove Amy Lee to the edge of insanity.

Throughout the music video Lee is never seen touching the ground because she is a ghost, signifying that she is the spirit and is singing from the dead.

Smile- Avril Lavigne

Smile is a song by a Canadian recording artist, Avril Lavigne from her fourth studio album, Goodbye Lullaby. Smile pays tribute to a special someone who was able to win her heart and put a grin on her face. Some shots of the music video are in black and white,  throughout the black and white parts of the music video, we see Avril pick up pieces of red glass that stands out. At the end of the video, we then see her her with the glass put back together showing it was a heart and summing up the meaning behind the song. her taking away the pieces shows her taking away all the heartache these people are suffering from, and all the broken hearts, and by the end of it, she takes away all these people’s pain, and mends their hearts back together.

The way the music video has been made gives a strong impression, it is a pop- punk song described as being sassy and catchy. The editing and the use of natural light in almost all of the music video allowed audiences to relate to the song and enjoy it. It gave a sense of happiness and emotions of yearning at the same time, giving hope at the end that heartbreak doesn't last forever.

Broken- Seether Song ft. Amy Lee

Broken is a song by post grunge/ alternative metal South African band Seether featuring American singer Amy Lee. Broken is mellow yet confident, as the vocalist Shaun Morgan is able to find the courage to express himself openly without having to release a scream during the powerful song every few seconds. 

There is no particular story in the music video at first and only two main characters, Lee and Morgan who wander through a dilapidated landscape, the camera movements and editing of the video is what made it look and feel so powerful. The underlying theme of the song is later understood that Lee and Morgan are trying to find each other but wont be able to, Lee knows where Morgan is but he does not see or sense her around him. 

The song yet again follows a story of two lovers but it has been portrayed in a very symbolic way without completely letting out the meaning in the first few shots, The shades used throughout the music video along with the edits are what made the music video extremely unique giving it a stronger meaning.
