1. Avicii & Nicky Romero – I Could Be the One
On iTunes: itunes.apple.com
In my opinion, this is one of the most amazing music videos of all time! It’s extremely hilarious (I love the actress in the video!) and it sends a very strong message to which anyone can relate. This song also reminds us of the beautiful and important things in life, such as the little things that we forgot about along the way. The lyrics also have a very profound meaning and the video is so, so entertaining! I’m sure you’ll love this song and you won’t be able to stop hitting the repeat button.
2. Macklemore & Ryan Lewis Feat. Mary Lambert –Same Love
On iTunes: itunes.apple.com
This is definitely the most moving music video I have ever seen! I love it so, so much! It’s such a heartfelt, moving and simply amazing music video that perfectly illustrates the fight against discrimination, a thing that is much too present in too many countries nowadays. Even though it was originally written to support the Washington state referendum 74 to approve gay marriage, now this great song supports gay marriage across the entire world. It’s one of my all-time favorite songs with the best lyrics ever!

3. Avicii –Silhouettes
On iTunes: itunes.apple.com
I couldn’t help it and I had to put another one of the amazing videos of Avicii on this list. I love the fact that all of Avicii’s music videos send a message and in this case, it’s the fact that you should be comfortable in your own skin, an idea that causes a lot of stir among the teenagers nowadays since, sadly, a lot of kids are still getting bullied about their sexuality. This video is also about moving forward and about being open to people who are different and who have the courage to do something unconventional to make themselves happy. It talks about acceptance and love, things that are pretty rare nowadays in the music industry.
4. Katy Perry – Firework
On iTunes: itunes.apple.com
Oh, how I love this simply amazing song! Katy Perry is such an inspiration for all of us and this song is a straight forward self-esteem anthem. The video sends an extremely empowering message too, because Katy Perry wanted this video to inspire people and she dedicated it to “It Gets Better Campaign.” This is one of the most amazing songs ever with a great message, it’s very motivational and I always play it on my iPod whenever I’m feeling a little bit sad or insecure.
5. Queen – I Want to Break Free
On iTunes: itunes.apple.com
This song is a bit old but it has such a great video that I had to mention it. This is actually one of my favorite songs ever and also, in my opinion, one of the most hilarious. I love the lyrics, because I often identify with them and that’s why this song always makes me feel better. It helps me think positive again, even though at first, I thought such a thing was not possible. I’m sure most of you already know this song and its amazing video and just like me, you probably have it on repeat too.
***
"I Want to Break Free" from Queen is an iconic anthem of liberation and self-expression. The music video, featuring the band members in drag, satirizes British soap operas, challenging gender stereotypes and societal norms with a playful edge. The song itself resonates deeply with anyone longing for change or craving freedom from personal constraints. Its powerful message of empowerment and the electrifying performance by the late, great Freddie Mercury make it timeless. Every time those familiar chords strike up, it's as if a weight lifts off your shoulders, reminding us all that it's okay to want more out of life and to chase after our own version of freedom.
6. Coldplay –Paradise
On iTunes: itunes.apple.com
This is one of my favorite songs too! I can’t stop myself from watching this video. It’s so funny, a bit silly maybe but the lyrics are sublime, and if you don’t mind the video, they are in fact about a “girl dreaming of escaping her dire situation and disappearing to her own personal heaven.” The band actually said that this video makes a “rather profound point – that we are all caged in some way, and we all long for escape — while still having a laugh too.” I also loved The Life of Pi and I believe this song was absolutely perfect for this beautiful and inspiring movie.
7. Lykke Li –I Follow Rivers
On iTunes: itunes.apple.com
I’m so in love with this video! Well, me and everyone I know! This is definitely one amazing and inspirational video! The lyrics are extremely beautiful but this video is definitely outstanding. It can teach us a thing or two about devotion, respect and most importantly, love. It’s such a great tune too and it’s pretty catchy; I couldn’t get it out of my head for weeks. I hope you’ll enjoy it too and that you’ll be seduced by its amazing video.
Music has always been an important source of inspiration for a lot of people and when a great tune is combined with a video that really tells an amazing story, the message sent will have a greater impact.
