Metallica - Turn the Page
This is a 1998 song by Metallica, and a cover of a Bob Seger 1973 hit. The video, directed by Jonas Akerlund, follows the story of a single mother who supports her child by dancing at a gentleman's club in the day and through prostitution of night. It is very dark natured and was banned from airplay by MTV due to the abusive sex scene, unlike the song which talks about the life of a musician on tour. It uses fast editing as it gets more intense and the scenes of the narrative also include an interview of the character, who justifies her profession.
One basic idea for a video of this song would be more fitted to the lyrics and nature of the song discussing the life of touring in a band and a possible short mockumentary around a fictional band.
