In my college video production class, each student was required to create a music video. We were to choose a song or clips of various songs and match the music up with images we pulled from newspapers and magazines. One student used Living Colour's "Love Rears Its Ugly Head" as her music. Before directing her video in class, she announced to all of us, "I don't feel this way myself." Essentially, her disclaimer indicated, "These lyrics paint a person's attitude toward relationships in a jaded, panicky light, but my attitude is more positive than that."
That disclaimer impressed me, as it made the video's creator seem more human--and hopeful.
