前言：
本文介紹兩首PV以「微電影」方式拍攝，一者嚴肅，一者有趣；一者探討國家與社會；一者省思自我及網路社群的疏離問題。

很多人說俄羅斯是戰鬥民族，其實北愛爾蘭人才是（布萊德彼特也演過北愛獨立背景的電影：The Devil's Own），北愛為了爭取獨立與自由，從以前奮鬥到現在，PV的狀況其實就是1980’s的日常；之前見到香港『雨傘運動』到『反送中抗爭』的畫面與新聞，我都會聯想到這首PV。
加泰隆尼亞與台灣的狀況又何嘗不是如此？237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43nZ7nZ5RN

“Every Breaking Wave” 的PV剪接自一部北愛爾蘭導演Aoife McArdle執導的13分鐘短片，初次看到這部PV時，使我想起【以父之名】IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER （1993）這部經典電影。237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡey5rKPwc7n

講述一位浪蕩不羈的北愛青年，在倫敦被英格蘭政府誣陷從事暴力恐怖行為而遭到囚禁的真實故事，一位平日不苟言笑的父親，為了拯救玩世不恭的兒子，而自願入獄協助，劇情有點沉重但過程很精采，尤其是之後法庭審判的翻轉結局。237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5Qdn2FgcH

不過這首歌曲的歌詞和「民族自決」沒什麼重大關聯，單純是紛亂時局下，一段無疾而終的羅曼史。
同場加映這首歌的Live acousitc版本，和原來版本截然不同─我較為偏愛這個版本，可以聽出Bono寶刀未老的驚人唱功，吉他手The Edge的作曲功力─The Edge擅長的分解和弦與延遲效果音，在這首歌曲並沒有展現。237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDkKwE4urY

第二首歌曲：
Too Many Friends by Placebo
My computer thinks I'm gay, I threw that piece of junk away
這是歌曲第一句歌詞，見微知著，就可推敲這首歌想表達的寓意。這首歌曲一共拍了三支PV喔！237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmO09VTc0Bi

Placebo的歌曲向來以簡單旋律及歌詞著稱，卻很能撼動人心─不論是抒情或龐克搖滾曲風，不過80%的作品都偏向創傷與暗黑的面向，寫出當前的社會問題。
主唱Brian Molko很早就關切LGBTQ的歧視問題，1997年寫出"Nancy Boy"（死娘炮）一曲，大膽討論性取向歧視爭議，近來則是關注環境與監控的問題，相當值得敬佩，重點是歌曲特別又相當動聽，尤其是現場表演的煽動性與震撼力，遠超單純聆聽CD或原來的錄音室版本。237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNp2vk4wBwo

這是第二個版本，可順道看看。
