I actually think music fits very nice to the video regardless as you said, how opposed they can be!
Nice, it got kinda violent at the end !"
Paul Hamilton commented on Paul Hamilton's blog post Music for video"Here is an example of music opposing the video - a seemingly peaceful/reverent setting, with music that paints an entirely different picture
