VIDEO!! Is awesome. I really, really liked it a lot. I
loved the moodiness of it, the digital clock (I did not envision the digital), the sunrise is beautiful at the end. Gonna watch it again..
Um. Have you noticed they're pushing Written All Over My Face, and The Truth? Two of the three songs (along with LLWD) Kris didn't write on the album. Did you hear the ad after the video? And see the ad on Kris's website? Are these going to be the next singles? I want a song by Kris. I really don't care much for WAOMF. Why do they do this? Do they not think he can write? Do they not want him to collect royalties?
I wouldn't be surprised either. 19 is nothing if not determined. Actually there is a scene in Being Erica this week that reminded me a bit of the whole Idol machine. (Basically Sebastian/Kai is being asked to release a single that he didn't want to record under extreme pressure from the label)
That being said of the tailgate songs I LOVED WAOMF the best - the only thing I'm not sold on is it's got the same Script connection that LLWD does. Which shouldn't mean anything, but you know the bloggers and media will run with it. The Truth I am not sold on yet. I do however think Kris loves 'The Truth'. So he might get what he wants and I might not get what I want.. that being said.. I've only heard 30 seconds of it..
and yeah your post at 12:53 Ross was spot on. I'll quote you
My thoughts on this video when I first watched it were simply that it was visually stunning and beautifully designed. I have watched it a few times now and I still think that. The huge clock illuminating the night is such a great image. It’s like modern art. There’s also something masculine about the imagery. The starkness of the desert setting, the truck, the lack of pretty colors, whatever. I thought the grand piano in the desert, wow. Just loved that.
It's simply gorgeous. (Not just Kris really - the setting itself) The Imagery, and overall design it's really impressive and the director did a fantastic job. For such a simple concept there is a lot of detail included.
