5/17/11- Two Videos, one Symbol...


One of my favorite videos of all time is the video for "Sic Transit Gloria...Glory Fades" by Brand New. It's a simple idea brought to perfection by the very last shot. But I noticed something that looked familiar to me in the video. At the beginning, when singer Jesse Lacey enters the bar, there is a white lamb on the door.

If you've seen the music video for "Ocean Avenue" by Yellowcard, you may have seen that very same lamb on the briefcase Yellowcard singer Ryan Key carries. Is this a coincidence? Is it a symbol that supposed to mean something?

Neither. Director Marc Web directed both music videos, and the white lamb apparently is his calling card.

But if you want it to symbolize something, like say, satan worship, feel free!

Spot the lambs in both videos. "Sic Transit Gloria...Glory Fades" by Brand New and "Ocean Avenue" by Yellowcard.
