Best Music Video Of The Year
Watching this video, you will wonder, briefly, if Chris Dane Owens “means it.” This is an
ungenerous thought—dismiss it. You may also wonder why “Shine On Me” is modelled on early
ABC and Spandau Ballet and padded out with an unnecessary layer of loud guitars. Irrelevant.
What you need to know is that Mr. Owens will live forever—until the dragons
rule the earth again (or the first time, whatever)—and that you are going to
watch this video more times than you can imagine. You may dream of this
video, but the dream won’t be as good because it won’t be this video.
