Check out this new 30 Seconds to Mars video for Kings + Queens.  This is by far the best video I’ve seen in years.

Whoever said music videos are dead hasn’t seen this.

This band never cease to amaze me. Jared Leto has done amazingly transitioning from actor to musician, and vice versa. Not a lot of actors/musicians can pull that off and gather such a great following of fans. I’m just greatly saddened that I won’t be able to see them play live at the Deck the Hall Ball this December 15th.

Anyway, I agree with Mr. Bill Beckett. This is an amazing video. I got goosebumps from watching it. There’s something uplifting and hopefull about the song and the video itself despite the lyrics.

“…Into your eyes
Hopeless and taken
We stole our new lives
Through blood and pain
In defense of our dreams
In defense of our dreams

We were the Kings and Queens of promise
We were the victims of ourselves
Maybe the Children of a lesser God
Between Heaven and Hell
Heaven and Hell

The age of man is over
A darkness comes and all
These lessons that we learned here
Have only just begun…”

And…you know…the girly girl in me can’t help but be pulled in by the attractiveness that is Jared Leto. I’m so glad he chose to ditch the guyliner this time around. =)
