Zoom In By Duran Duran

Another great video posted to the duran duran dot no website by Teknosapien, a fan-video-remixer. This one is for a track from their new CD "Red Carpet Massacre" called ZOOM IN. It's about the video-game-reality-simulation called "Second Life".

This song isn't literally about Second Life. At least i don't think so. I think they mean "second life". It's the "Law & Order" syndrome -- you automatically think of the show, but more likely than not it's not talking about it. Sorry to burst bubbles.

[TeknosapienVideos]

Actually they ARE talking about "Second Life", they have a presence IN the game as characters themselves and performed a "Virtual Concert" inside Second Life. The lyrics "Gonna make some cash with that avatar" is the biggest giveaway. That's what you can do in Second Life. So, consider the bubble re-inflated. It is INDEED about "Second Life".

[lightupmyroom]

Consider myself defeated. But I still like to think about it beyond the scope of Second Life. It lends itself to other meanings.

[TeknosapienVideos]

Absoutley, MOST of Simon's lyrics are "open to intrepretation" and are not really about anything in particular (other than some personal experience to which he won't share). That's one thing (of many) that I really like about their music.....it means many things to many different people. I STILL don't know what a "Union of the Snake" is supposed to mean....LOL! Sounds "dirty and fun" though! Cheers!

I have seen some of this footage before in the "welcome to secondlife" video made by Phaylen. I wonder why the video dose not give credit to who actually filmed it. Does Tekno film any of it himself or just use other peoples work? I like the song and choice of footage!!

TEKNO CONTINUES "So far, noone has complained of my "re-cutting" of their videos & noone has asked me to stop making them. I've had several "cool" comments from people who spotted their videos inside my "video remixes". Duranies are pretty cool in that regard. I give everyone "props" for the great footage that gives me the chance to make new videos! I always say, without them there would B NO TEKNO videos."

Thanks 2 TEKNOSAPIENVIDEOS 4 forwarding "stampshady"s comments to me. CHEERS!

[Duranie747]

@TeknosapienVideos I thought Union of the Snake was talking about something to do with MI5, MI6, the CIA or the FBI. Spies. Stuff like that. Or maybe I've just been watching too much Spooks recently...

[Duranie747]

What game is that? It looks kinda familiar... Good video!
