Forever and ever song

Today's blog shows an interesting video about a song called "forever and ever". Here is what I think about it.

At first it was pretty unclear what the message behind this video was, it seemed a bit random, like it didn't have any relation to the lyrics at all, and was purely meant for entertainment. That is possible however, some music videos are only meant to be entertaining to the eye while you listen to the audio, this could possibly be the case. Perhaps they just made a funny video of the band joking around and decided to put this song to it, but to me that's unlikely.


Seeing as it's a Christian band, if I had to interpret this, I would say the band is saying that their worship music is not greatly appreciated by the world. When they play their music about "God's love" the world will fight back because they do not agree, and try to get rid of them. Despite the world's efforts to put a stop to their music however, the band keeps playing their music because it's what they believe.


I'm not sure what exactly happens when that atom-shaped object appears. Do they get super powers from this object? Anyways, my interpretation for that would be, since they kept on playing their music for God despite the world's efforts to stop them, they were rewarded from strength with something they could not describe. These powers each amplified the strengths of each person, who had their own "calling from God." That's what the different instruments could represent, God's separate callings for his people, we do not all play the same instrument.

Overall it could have been a good video to think about, but I still do not think they made a very good choice for the song, the song has to relate to the video in some way, and in this case it did not really. They should of made a song about continuing to sing their worship music despite the world's opinion on it.

You have some interesting insights to this video and express your opinions well. You would work to make stronger paragraphs by making your topic sentence clear. You also need to avoid slang such as "should of" instead of "should have".
