Music Video - Far Away - Nickelback 2007-08-30 23:06:00 The video starts with a couple in bed, when a cellphone rings and the boyfriend is forced to leave. It is revealed that he is a fireman, and has been called to help fight a forest fire.As the song moves on, we see the firemen dropped right into the middle of the fire, which quickly overwhelms them and forces them to retreat. The boyfriend goes back to help a fallen firefighter, and watches the helicopter leave without him. After the boyfriend sees the helicopter leave, a large, fiery tree is seen falling, presumably onto him. This footage is inter-cut with his girlfriend watching the news about the fire.Later, she receives a phone call, and breaks down, as it appears that she has been informed that her boyfriend has died. But did he die? Watch the video to find out.Advertise On Main Event Music Read more:Far Away

Little Known Band With A Great Song: Holtz 2007-07-29 11:16:00 Today, while surfing iTunes, I came across a band named Holtz. I listened to one of their songs, and really liked it. I hope you do too. But first, let's get a little bit of background on Andrew Holtz...PLEASE NOTE THAT THE CONTENT DIRECTLY BELOW IS NOT WRITTEN BY ME, AND HAS BEEN WRITTEN BY ANDREW HOLTZ OR PARTIE(S) ASSOCIATED WITH HIM.Three years ago, Andrew Holtz had a plan. After graduating from Fordham University with a business degree, the New Jersey native landed what most college grads could only hope for: a high paying job at a top accounting firm, including a hefty signing bonus. Holtz thought he was living the dream, but after seven months in the field he still felt like something was missing. After working 9 to 5, Holtz found himself rushing to perform at open mics or hurrying home to pen and record songs until all hours of the night. Realizing climbing the corporate ladder would never fulfill him, he walked into his employer’s office and quit on the spot.“I knew it wa Read more:Great

Who Is Delilah? 2007-07-29 11:15:00 The Plain White T's have risen rapidly to the #1 position on the Billboard Charts with there single "Hey There Delilah". But after listening to the hit song, there's only one question on the minds of listeners: who is Delilah? Then they ask: Is she even a real person? Well, in a recent AOL Under Cover Sessions Video, Tom Higgenson, a member from the Plain White T's, a Chicago-based band, revealed who Delilah was. No, they weren't love interests. They weren't even dating. "She was just a girl that I met when I went to school in New York City ... I just thought she was very pretty, and she inspired me to write this song," Higgenson said. "I thought she was the most beautiful girl I had ever seen. I told her, 'I have a song about you already.' Obviously, there was no song. But I thought it was smooth."Her full name was Delilah DiCrescenzo, and she attended Columbia University, and graduated in 2005. She is now an Olympic hopeful.Will the Plain White T's stay at the top, or come
