The Friday Music Round-Up after Valentine's Day
(CBS News) Guess what? It's time for your Friday Music Round-Up after Valentine's Day! To kick things off, we've done a switch on who goes on the top spot with two great artists we've featured previously. We start this week with one of my personal favorites, Passion Pit, and their music video for the song "Carried Away". So click play and let the music do what the song name says.
How do I love thee, Passion Pit? Let me count the ways... oh, I didn't realize you were back. Pretend that never happened. Moving along, we've got the new music video for an artist you all know and love. Take a listen to Rihanna's new music video for "Stay" featuring Mikky Ekko below.
We shift gears in a significant way for a moment with our fan of The Feed request this week from Devon. Understand that this is a tough, but important one to see, so you may want to get tissues ready. Watch as a school comes together after tragedy to pay tribute to a 9-year-old boy who lost his battle with cancer, beginning with a song from the boy's twin brother below. While the video quality is a tad rough, I promise the message carries through in a big way.
Thank you so much for this very moving submission, Devon. And we're coming off of a day dedicated to love, so it's only fitting that our next item focusing on the aesthetic and visual of music videos would be about two people finding each other in this crazy world. Check out the music video for the Atlas Genius' song "Trojans" directed by Celia Rowlson-Hall below.
Finally, we end with a song that has always held a sense of hope to your blogger, so seems fitting as our final item. Watch as a street artist performs a unique rendition of Leonard Cohen's timeless classic "Hallelujah" using crystal glasses from YouTube user kozlovskidudi at the bottom.
And with that, I hope you enjoyed this week's Friday Music Round-Up and had a wonderful Valentine's Day this year (if not, I hope this music helped). Have a wonderful upcoming weekend and make sure to keep coming back to The Feed for all your viral (and music) video needs!
