pIts been in the works for a while mdash; you encounter problems like these when you have two superstars on the same track mdash; but now, its finally here : a href=http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/kurtydurty1 target=_blankB.o.B/a and a href=http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/hiphopology/id337145097 target=_blankHayley Williams /avideo for a href=http://www.myspace.com/kurtydurty1 target=_blankAirplanes/a nbsp; has finally premiered worldwide/p
pB.o.B scenes had been shot innbsp;April , and Williams didnt do her part until after Paramore finished their spring tour. But despite the fact that the two stars were never even in the same room during filming, the final result is quite seamless: a moody, swirling video that perfectly matches the ominous, somber tone of the song ./p
pB.o.B scenes were recorded in a empty wherehouse , a dark, dead space thats given an electric overhaul (and faint heartbeat) with the creative lighting (and lasers!) of director Hiro Murai. Williams scenes also take place in the dark, though Murai bathes her in a swirling cosmos of lights and colors, a psychedelic effect that almost swallows her up./p
pMuch like the song itself, theres an emptiness to the Airplanes video, a dark, cavernous space that light cannot penetrate. It implies a void that will never be filled, no matter how hard you try. It can be seen as a metaphor for fame mdash; the loneliness that only the famous know, the cavernous expanses of geography and emotion. Its sort of a beautiful bummer, to be honest. In that sense, Airplanes recalls Drake and Trey Songzs equally somber Successful video, another clip that explored the downside of celebrity and success./p
p Some say that metaphors are considered art . Its not complaining if you do it right. And in the case of Airplanes, a deft, decidedly human take on the pitfalls of everyone knowing your name (but never understanding your pain), The duo did the song very creatively ./p
