Chris Dane Owens is For Real

Chris Dane Owens is so freakin' For Real, he embodies no fewer than six different dudes in his music video for Shine On Me. I can't stop watching it. Without ruining too much, here's a few of the key ingredients:

  • Chris Dane Owens x6
  • Castles
  • Evil Sirens
  • Dragons
  • Assorted Swashbuckling / Swordplay
  • An Emerald Guitar
  • The Concept of Reincarnation, I think
  • Sculpted Body Armor
  • A Pirate Ship
  • Dr. Doom from Fantastic Four
  • Stallions
  • Fair Maidens Galore
  • Explosions
  • An Alligator
  • The Mustache / Soul Patch Power Combo
  • Crystals
  • Ghosts
  • Stone Henge

Owens has the rare ability to maintain eye contact with the camera (you) for crazy long. Steve Perry of Journey can also do this, but when Steve does it you sort of just feel like his girlfriend. When Chris Dane Owens looks at you, you end up... I dunno... you feel like the ocean.

his video editor lists "Splash" 'E.T." "Beetlejuice" and "Ace Venture" to his credits - that's like a roadmap of my childhood. I'm grossed out by all of this.

so when will you be growing your own mustache/soul patch power combo? Because I think you would totally rock that shit. It would not look creepy AT ALL.

I have never watched this video, but I somehow know all this based on hearing you playing it over and over again.

Holy shit! Epic fan usage.

I tried to think of a music video that could top this...Tried and failed.

So why isn't this a movie? I'd watch it every day for a month.

i'm glad to know i'm not the only one who can't stop watching this. the blond flowing locks, the sunken blue eyes that look dead inside, the obvious use of porn stars for lack of any other actress. it's like they filmed an entire 2 hour movie and then decided to just make a 4 min music video using only iMovie HD.

also, you forgot another key ingredient: the jewel thieves from Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back
