PV of the Day: VAMPS ‘EVANESCENT’

Today’s video-of-the-day features VAMPS making your world “EVANESCENT,” and indeed, the emotions in this song show how fleeting things can be. HYDE sings about having memories of a past relationship, but also of moving on—the past is just momentary. His voice is absolutely gorgeous, and K.A.Z. plays an amazing melody on his guitar.

Megan Schultz on Sunday, February 19, 2012 11:00AM

Today’s video-of-the-day features Vidoll putting things into “Focus.” This so is very bright and has a hopeful feeling to it, mainly because of the peppy melody, I think.
