Big Daddy Weave, Framed
A word of explanation: Framed is a weekly blog available to the great readers of Y! Music. This is our 79th installment and we're glad you're looking in.
What we do is watch a music video incredibly carefully, drink some, and then stop the video at key moments. These still frames are posted every week...but wait, there's an exciting twist! We also write captions to the pictures we freeze. Invariably, these captions offer delightful social or pop cultural commentary that has the whole country asking, "Hey, neighbor...did you read Framed this week?"
Yes, everyone likes our captions. It's great!
This week our stars are Big Daddy Weave, a Christian combo who sound like a more acoustic Steven Curtis Chapman, MercyMe, and Casting Crowns, with just a smidge of Dave Matthews Band, according to something we stole off the internet that sounds quite plausible.
In their video, "What Life Would Be Like," BDW find themselves in Ecuador on a mission to do some good for its poverty-stricken people. BDW are allied with the faith-based initiative World Vision, and you can catch their contact info at the end of the video. The band plays a little music and some soccer with the Ecuador kids, and then it's off to the junkyard and then to church. It looks like a really full day.
The title of the song refers, of course, to what life would be like if space aliens disproved all the world's religions with science. We think. There are probably other interpretations available, too.
Again, thanks for reading Framed, and stop by next week when we do Kelly Clarkson.
Um, Kelly Clarkson's video!!
1 -- The first grade's field trip to Yahoo! Music was...well...disappointing.
2 -- "My God, my God, why hast thou left my engine
untuned?"
3 -- Little did Sgt. Carter suspect that Pyle could rock,
and rock hard.
4 -- "Kill the bubble that thinks like a man! Matar
a la burbuja!"
5 -- "I wonder if he'd be good to eat, and filling."
6 -- "...an' what if the ants had an Ant God, only
their God was mean? An' then Jesus an' God killed him!"
7 -- "But I ate all the food, children. It was
good."
8 -- "Why, no. All the gringos aren't impossibly
fat. No gordo!"
9 -- Wow! Everybody's bored with this week's Framed!
10 -- This time, the shadow puppet battle was for keeps!
11 -- "Letting the Lord be my left hand will surely
show Satan!"
12 -- "Didn't you guys think that Hollywood Week would
somehow be better?"
But, nice framed Kordosh, just one problem!
For framed #4, the correct way of saying Kill the Bubble in Spanish would be:
"Mata La Burbuja!"
Just a heads up (and yes, I am a fluent Spanish speaker).
Kordosh, I have never read your "framed" blog before and I thought it was going to be funny. I guess that's NOT the point of "framed" now I know.
