    Now the real fun begins!

    I am thinking about voting for TLWE in this round. I not totally up on all my Don Henley songs, so I don't know for sure if he wrote the song or not. One thing I do know is that many of his songs, and for that matter, the Eagles tunes tend to provide a visual story in my minds eye and a lot of these Don Henley videos just don't "go" with how I envision the story he tells in the song. I think that the ability to tell a story through a song is a talent and a gift that he and Glenn Frey have.

    Although creative license with a video for a song can really work well- there are many times when they are just totally off base and detract from the song.

    In TLWE, I feel the video has some really gratuitous moments but hey it was the late 80's so it may have fit the era but I just don't think it fit the storyline of the song.

    ASTWDID is another one I am considering voting for and TYH is in the running to go as well. I will just have to do a little more viewing - what a shame!

    Not Enough Love In The World

    I love the ASWTDID video - top 2 for sure for me.

    Not Enough Love In The World straight out annoys me & I vote for it. There are only so many obscurely symbolic monochrome videos that I can deal with & the others in this game which fit that category are far superior to this one.

    I think the TYH vidoe is very moving & simple, given that I don't like the song very much.

    As for ASWTDID I used to like it a lot but now I find it dated.

    About to leave - I'll just quickly drop in and say I've decided.

    I cast my vote for Taking You Home.

    It's very sweet, but something has to go.

    Yeah - We're at that point in the game where it's getting a lot more difficult to choose. Right now I'm leaning toward NELITW although I agree with Soda that it has some good moments. I love the sentiment of Taking You Home, but like For My Wedding, the video isn't particularly creative. However, I do find it enjoyable to watch, probably because of the footage with Don's family and the fact that I adore the song.

    As far as ASWTDID, I think this is a well done video. This is one of those cases where there is some gruesomeness, but it's appropriate and not over-the-top like in Garden of Allah and EIDN. It helps tell the story without totally creeping me out. I actually have this one rated pretty high on my list.

    We don't have many votes in this round and it ends tonight?

    I'm voting for Not Enough Love In The World. It was between that and Taking You Home and I find TYH just too sweet to vote out yet. I don't think it's as well known a song, but I like it.
