Video! - Getting Nowhere (Feat. John Legend) - Magnetic Man


I was not a fan of the song until I saw this video. John Legend just hasn't been doing it for me lately, but I after watching the video, I like his vocals a lot more on this track. The video follows a new age version of the Four Horseman of the Apocalypse (on BMX bikes?). Some of it comes off a little cheesy (see my parentheses from the previous sentence), but overall I think it's a really well done video. I think Legend's croonings of "Almost there, almost there, feel like we've been getting nowhere" reflect the way a lot of people see the world today. Constantly progressing, growing, consuming, but not really going anywhere. Food for thought.

Jingle Jams on the tip.
