What exactly happens in the "Rainbow in the Dark" music video by Dio? Its always confused the fuck out of me and how does it correlate to the song?
>>12986432480s music videos are retarded. Don't think too much about it.
>>129864324Man Dio was a really good singer
>>129864432Like is the whole thing supposed to be that the girl the guy goes after is a prostitute/porn actor? But how exactly does that fit with the rest of what happens and also more importantly the lyrics?
>>129864500She's been left on her own, like a rainbow in the dark, simple as
>>129864324You can take any music video and make the same analysis. What exactly happens in the "Locked In" music video by Judas Priest?What exactly happens in the "Sledgehammer" music video by Peter Gabriel?What exactly happens in the "Head Over Heels" music video by Tears for Fears?
>>129864324shit i always thought he was singing "rainbow in the duck" so I'm no help here.
>>129865081>head over heels videoHe falls in love with a hot librarian, I wish it was me
>>129865081What exactly happens in the "Everybody Have Fun Tonight" video by Wang Chung?What exactly happens in the "Wrapped Around Your Finger" video by the Police?"Harden my heart" by Quarterflash? "Possibly Maybe" by Bjork? "Ice Cream" by Battles? seriously WTF?this is kind of fun akshyully
>>129864432>80s music videos are retarded. Don't think too much about it.this^My uncle was working in Hollywood at the time. He had some pretty bad things to say about the idiots putting videos together at the time. Go watch Billy Squier's Rock Me Tonight. If you don't vomit you are a tougher man than me.
>>129865551I'd argue that 80s videos are great precisely because nobody really knew how to work in the new medium, so you have this wild and occasionally bewildering variety of video.
>>129865081>What exactly happens in the "Sledgehammer" music video by Peter Gabriel?absolute kino
>>129865551>Go watch Billy Squier's Rock Me TonightThat's what happens when you let faggot choreographers make decisions.
>>129864324Can you explain what Rainbow in the Dark is about, or any other Dio song for that matter? It's all bullshit that he just came up and thought it sounds cool and mysterious
>>129864324Fun fact: Vivian Campbell and Jimmy Bain weren't even supposed to be in the video and weren't invited. They happened to be in London while it was being filmed and pretty much just crashed the set.
>>129864324I would say they were just screwing around like a lot did in those early videos...but then Dio came out right before that, dropped an epic banger, and invented Dark Souls 40 years before it came out.Maybe he simply wasted all of his budget on Holy Diver.
>>129867398I honestly think there is a meaning behind most of the music videos, I mean come on look at "Last in Line" that one is awesome and has a clear story/message.Its just a bit less obvious for me with "Rainbow in the Dark" the part that confuses me more is the symbolism with the guitarist and lady. Like is it an implication that she's a prostitute or something and goes with him after he paid her? Is he even real or a part of the imagination of the guy with the glasses?
>>129866865i know the actual meaning of the lyrics behind Rainbow in the Dark and it has nothing to do with the video or the explanations given on genius com
>>129864324It's a reflection of Dio's nonsense lyrics.
Dio said in interviews that he wrote in that style to let people make up their own meanings. If you look at the posts on songmeanings.com you will see people have a lot of different ideas on what it is about. People make up their own meanings and relate the song to their own personal experience. That is the power of being able to write like that. It isn't easy. I've tried.
>>129864324>Rainbow in the DarkIs about a Chud (glasses, ugly, blue collard job) falling in love with a Stacy (blonde), but she turned out to be a literally slutty slut who is into hardcore stuff and has a high body count (she go to gay bars and kiss other people in front of Chud), and he got scared about her open hyper sexual. Rainbow is about being queer or more of a free degenerated sex.
>>129872147Simple as. Anyone who didn't understand this is a retard./thread
