Ten Music Videos featuring Water

1. The Human League - "Human" 1986  *Slow motion splashes are rad.



2. James Blake - "Limit To Your Love" 2010  *When played on the right stereo, the bass in this song would definitely make water react in this manner. I get to see James Blake for the first time on April 23 at the Neptune Theater, it will be amazing.



3. Justin Timberlake feat. Jay-Z - "Suit and Tie" 2013  *I don't love this song but I do like Justin Timberlake and Jay-Z. The big water scene is towards the end. Sometimes I don't like songs that millions of other people like because of my not-so-secret desire to like different stuff than the masses.



4. Adele - "Rolling In The Deep" 2010  *The mainstream got this one right. I feel like the water in this video is one of its best attributes.



5. Ralph Tresvant - "Sensitivity" 1990  *There was a lot of filming people who were standing behind falling streams of water in the late eighties and early nineties.



6. Bell Biv DeVoe - "Do Me (Remix)" 1990  *I definitely prefer the album version, but a classic nonetheless.



7. De La Soul feat. Chaka Khan - "All Good?" 2000  *A car wash video like this one would be lacking without water. Chaka Khan still pairs so nicely with Hip Hop.



8. Porno For Pyros - "Tahitian Moon" 1996  *I liked two Porno For Pyros songs, this one and "Pets".



9. RZA aka Bobby Digital - "La Rhumba" 2001 *I think this crazy rap party is supposed to be going on inside the red bottle. I don't believe that for a second.




10. Sade - "Sweetest Taboo" 1985  *At the beginning of this video, it looks like Sade gets pissed when she sees this guy litter. Sade says, "littering is not sexy" with her eyes.
