what's your imaginary music video?

Sometimes, a song becomes popular as much because of its music video as it is because it is good to listen to. But there are some songs on the albums of my favorite artists that don't get made into music videos. And sometimes I hear a song first and I can't help but invent a music video to go along with it. Take my favorite song, "You'll Be Safe Here" by Rivermaya. Although the video for it that I first saw was the one for the soundtrack of the supernatural series "Spirits", I couldn't help but make up another music video in my head based on the way the music made me feel. My imaginary video had a Gothic atmosphere... a dark forest, an enchanted garden with lots of marble statues and overgrown vines, wild creatures peeping from behind trees, a clearing lit by pale moonlight, an owl, and two ghostly lovers. And when the other music video for the song came out, it had almost all the elements of my imaginary video, except for the ghostly pair! My favorite imaginary music video is for the song "You Can Still Be Free" by Savage Garden. The song is on their album "Affirmation". It has an almost dreamy feel to it, starting out slow and meditative. Like a person standing in the middle of a meadow in the gathering twilight. Then the tempo picks up, like the hoofbeats of a horse galloping free, and then there's this breathless pause, like coming to the edge of a cliff overlooking the ocean, then a sort of leap... then this soaring part that reminds me of the cry of a lonely seagull circling up towards the stars.
