Twenty-five years ago, Soul Asylum&#39;s Runaway Train&nbsp;music video aired on MTV. Moving and gritty, the video directed by Tony Kaye showed images of actual missing children, 21 of whom were then recovered. Collaborating with agency M/H VCCP, Jake Scott has now directed a first-of-its-kind music video that updates with children from the National Center for Missing &amp; Exploited Children (NCMEC) database, based on where you watch it.&quot;I was a fan of the original Runaway Train video,&quot; comments Jake Scott. &quot;It really showed how music has the power to effect change. If one child is identified as a result of this video, then it will be worth it. Let&#39;s hope it leads to hundreds of thousands being reunited with their families or given a new life in which they feel safe, seen and heard.&quot;&quot;The video is a game changer,&quot; says NCMEC President and CEO John Clark. &quot;It highlights critical issue runaways face and will show real pictures of missing children. By creating and sharing this video, everyone has the ability to make a difference in their communities. It&#39;s truly incredible.&quot;The video release comes ahead of National Missing Children&#39;s Day this Saturday, 25 May.

Sonic adventurers MGMT are no strangers to wild, visually pioneering videos. In fact, their entire music video output is like an odyssey into the surreal minds of some truly fantastic directors. From early Tintori gems that are now modern classics, to this latest and very rare outing from Tom Kuntz, his second for MGMT.You&#39;d think Kuntz should be a regular on the music video circuit, with the incredibly distinct, playful visual aesthetic and sharp comic wit that&#39;s earned him legendary status in the commercials world. But no, Kuntz music videos are rare; when they do pop up, well, there&#39;s just nothing else quite like them.After his first video for MGMT, 2010&#39;s desert epic &#39;Congratulations&#39;, which featured slow, drawn-out shots following Andrew, Ben and a peculiar desert creature on their long sandy journey, his latest video is the complete opposite.&#39;Your Life is a Lie&#39; is probably best described as a rapid, amphetamine-fuelled episode of Sesame Street. Lyrics drawn in ketchup, a skeleton chorus, an incoming fax that tells you you&#39;re living a lie, even Henry Winkler briefly shows up to console an upset middle school girl in her soccer uniform.Each line of the song is met with a ceaseless montage of shots that illustrate what&#39;s being sung in the most obscure and incredible way. Not only that, but practically none of the seconds-long shots ever get repeated. Well, except every four beats when the cowbell strikes and an old guy wearing an open Acapulco shirt takes the same bite of a banana, or a guy in a suit and tie repeatedly gets hit in the head with a green ball.Be prepared to see pretty much every shot of this video appear as an animated GIF and spread on Tumblr like wildfire. Really, there&#39;s no one else that could have pulled this off like Kuntz, to create a video that&#39;s worthy of being added to MGMT&#39;s impressive catalogue. Enjoy.
