The music video for Don’t You Dare starts off with a shot of an old manor and pans to the interior of the home, which is full of antiques and has that Victorian feel. With stunning ceilings, decor, and overall aesthetically pleasing furniture - the house that this video is set in is fun to explore through the various scenes. With the help of the song’s melody, this video really pulls you in. When the scenes aren’t in the house, we see some watery light glares, as if the light was bouncing off water or crystals, and a few shots of Boyhood herself being slightly illuminated in the dark. All in all, this video is alluring and you’re going to want to watch the full thing.

Obituaries: '60s Pop Idol Lou Christie Passes Away at 82

This week we also acknowledge the passing of New York City rock photographer Marcia Resnick, reggae star Leroy Gibbons and South African jazz drummer Louis Moholo.

Lou Christie (Lugee Alfredo Giovanni Sacco), one of the most beloved teen pop idols of the 1960s and the voice and songwriter behind Billboard Hot 100-topper “Lightnin’ Strikes,” died on June 18, after a long illness. He was 82 years old.

ABillboard obituary reports that the Pennsylvania-born singer "Christie soared to fame in the early ’60s with hits such as 'The Gypsy Cried' and 'Two Faces Have I,' the latter of which reached No. 6 on the Hot 100 in 1963. The star’s biggest hit came three years later, when 'Lightnin’ Strikes' ascended to the chart’s summit, but he would still score a top 10 smash years later in 1969 with 'I’m Gonna Make You Mine.'"
