[Video] Big Bang Drops “Love Song” MV

Written by Nadiyah On April 13, 2011

Literally?

Well, not literally, per se, but close with what happens in the very random ending. Imagine a world without Big Bang. Or worse yet, imagine a world so bleak that there is no color-merely a muted, grayscale-esque somber cast over everything, with Big Bang “frolicking” in full emo-glory among hostel and gas station ruins…actually, don’t imagine that. Just watch the MV for “Love Song” and you’ll get an idea of what KPOP would be like without Big Bang (imho).

Is this what it will look like in the aftermath of the KPOPcalypse? If so, I want to make sure I am stuck on that bit of deserted land with my boys…

The MV is shot beautifully, I think, the guys sound great (and look it too), but why, oh WHY, are we so sad? Apparently Big Bang has suffered some pretty rough breakups. I wish they had gone with a more whimsical MV with a setting among the stars and sky as mentioned in their lyrics, but alas, I wasn’t the creative genius behind this. Too bad.

I prefer the boys a little more smiley and a lot less doom-and-gloom.

Big Bang is actually making a LOVE SONG for the world!
Cracks on land – earthquake i.e. natural disaster
‘Fuel Entrance’ – depleting natural resources
‘Kostel P Marie sign’ – increasing irrelevance of religion
burning bunny(?) – child abuse/prostitution
wrecked cars – war
the falling car – the end of mankind
just my two cents :D

i really like the mv
i’ve always liked mv that has black and white in it
it just seems more artistic and sophisticated
i appreciate it a lot more than crazy scenes and tons of clothing changes.
less is more!

The video is gorgeous I wonder if it was one long shot..
but the song is too american radio friendly for me

i think two? the transition from T.O.P to GD @ 3:01.
yea anw, its nice

I think they mirrored the video after that. If you look at the scenes before that, G-Dragon’s pin earring was on his right ear. And then suddenly, after the GD&TOP transition, GD’s earring was on his left ear. Hmm.

I have no clue about technical details in film but I loved it!! The transitions were sooooo smooth!!!
I like the song too! It reminds me of U2 “With or Without You” :D

I LOVED IT! More to do with the fact that I’m taking a black and white photography class and I think anything that is black and white is pretty great.

I LOVED IT! But then, I’m also taking a black and white photography class this semester and I think anything thats done in black and white is pretty great. Also love the song=)

hoboinheels
dang it. THEY SAID ERROR.oh well..

The mv actually fits with the whole mood of the song though. Could have done without the scene at the end

I agree, this mv focuses more on the mood of the song rather than making a story out of it. It’s beautiful but anything looks good in black and white anyway.

I like it. I like that it’s one continuous shot. I like the black and white. I like the out of sync dancing. I like the ending best of all – that car falling from the sky was just so unexpected.
I know a lot of people aren’t very happy with the new direction Big Bang is taking with their music, but it’s inevitable that they would change over time, especially since they are gaining more and more creative control. I think the new direction is commendable.

Exactly. Whatever “flaws” I found on this vid ( the awkward and out of sync dancing, falling car) made it more perfect in my eyes. The video was just a fresh take on how kpop vids are usually done these days, and any change like that is welcome to me.
I’m also liking their direction so far. Some people are complaining about how some of their songs are being “western” lately, but I don’t really care. And to be honest, I’ll be more disappointed if they just got stuck in their Lies/Haru Haru era. I liked that old BigBang too, but I would honestly prefer to see changes like this as a fan.

i like the vid and the song, this makes me respect them even more and more. to me they are real artist. oh yeah, is it me or does top always look like he is wearing highwaters
