All of the Dead Girls
- ... that the music video for Dreamcar's "All of the Dead Girls" was filmed during a live performance of the song? Source: OC Weekly: "Prior to playing 'All of the Dead Girls,' Havok announced the performance would be filmed for the band's second music video."
- ALT1:... that Dreamcar's "All of the Dead Girls" was inspired from a comment made by American actor Josh Richman? Source: Billboard: "When I started writing 'All of the Dead Girls', it came from the concept of the lyric 'dead girls,' which was informed by my dear friend Josh Richman whom I lived with for many years."

- I'm confused by ALT0: the article just says that the performance recording was planned to be the music video, not that it was. Additionally, I'm not able to find any music video released for the song online. What happened in the end? As for ALT1, the hook says
inspired by a lyric penned by American actor Josh Richman
but the article and source beats around the bush a bit more:it came from the concept of the lyric “dead girls,” which was informed by ... Josh Richman ... It wasn’t a direct quote, but it was a comment about me
. So I think "lyric penned by" Richman is not strictly true. - Interesting:
- Pending rewording for factual accuracy, or another hook suggestion.
QPQ: Done. |
Overall:
[[Music journalism|Music critics]]
is an overlink that can be removed. There are two "quotes from nowhere": The addition of keyboards provided "layering [of] majestic swaths of synths"
and which Havok repeatedly "begs".
I'd like these to be attributed to their source (e.g. "according to X", "X said that") in prose. — Bilorv (talk) 15:51, 21 March 2021 (UTC)
