Title: Carousel Music Video (update: now online, reply #116)
Post by: nutnlp on April 03, 2011, 11:42:14 am
I saw some discussion about a possible music video in yesterdays show topic....since I found some info a couple days ago on Twitter regarding the Pre-Production of the video, thought I'd share:

Director: Jake Davis

I'm sure the video will be great!! How do you picture the video?
I see Vanessa riding a carousel, of course... and then some white rabbits running around.  ;)

Title: Re: Carousel Music Video
Post by: sarab on April 03, 2011, 01:50:28 pm
I think that there should obviously be a carousel, maybe open and close with one, but it shouldn't be the main focus.  I also think that the rabbits shouldn't be in your face, just kind of a side thing, kind of hidden.  I like videos that make you think, and aren't just someone sitting there singing into the camera, so hopefully there is more of a story line to watch.  We'll see!

Post by: B on April 03, 2011, 02:38:40 pm
Carousel's a good single choice. Without having heard the studio arrangement it is hard to say what kind of popular appeal it will have on that end, but the song itself has a feel people can get behind.
Title: Re: Carousel Music Video
Post by: joey on April 03, 2011, 03:16:40 pm
I want a "story" video... you know? The type with actors and a mini story behind it?
Maybe multiple ones... Cos the song is SUPER feel good... Just thinking ;-)
Title: Re: Carousel Music Video
Post by: nutnlp on April 03, 2011, 03:18:52 pm
i think having a carousel in the video would be cheesy unless its in an artful way...i just hope its an abundance of love stories and how they shape you....a theme vanessa seems to be singing about a lot since h&t.
Title: Re: Carousel Music Video
Post by: Serentic on April 03, 2011, 03:25:52 pm
I just want her and a piano -- it's kind of her thing. C: She's done it in most of her videos, and I feel like taking that and replacing it with a carousel would be a step backwards for her.

BUT I'M SO EXCITED ASDFJSDLSADASDSGSFHL.

I agree on the cheese factor.  This is how I picture it, hope you can catch my drift, I'm not good at explaining things:

before the music starts the camera is zoomed in a moving carousel so that it looks just like a blur, camera pans out and there is the carousel (still moving).  the music starts and it cuts to a couple breaking up.  the song than follows either the boy or the girl, (or girl girl, boy boy, whatever) as they go through more relationships and either find each other again, or find true love in someone else.  Maybe one of the people is in a park and sees a rabbit briefly, then ends back at the carnival/carousel.

this is just my preliminary idea.  I think I'd have to dwell on it a little more to come up with anything else!  It's just what I think I would enjoy seeing, not necessarily what I think she would or would not do.

I really wouldn't have cared what song was chosen, I'm just excited to hear a finished studio version of one of the songs! Here's hoping we get it by the end of April, at least!!!
Title: Re: Carousel Music Video
Post by: pswik91 on April 03, 2011, 07:43:50 pm
I agree with what sarab said about the music video. The way I envision Carousel is, these two people first meet each other at a carnival and find an attraction to each other.  The both hit it off and have a wonderful time together. But as time passes, they go on with their lives, marrying other people but still had that thought of that one person they felt a connection with. Later on, they discover each other again at the same carnival where they first met.  They both realize that they made a mistake and end up spending the rest of their lives together.
And somewhere in there white rabbits on the run will fit in there. =)

v doesn't really pull images so directly from lyrics for the music video and usually it's less about a storyline and more about the feel of the song. i'm sure i would never guess the direction that they'll take.

very excited, especially about hearing a studio version.
Title: Re: Carousel Music Video
Post by: Rekky on April 04, 2011, 02:59:30 am
Nice! Maybe she can share with us some photos of the videoshoot while she is recording it or a behind the scenes video explaining details of the song
Title: Re: Carousel Music Video
Post by: joey on April 04, 2011, 03:10:01 am
Ow she should get Julia Stiles in the video... They're apparently really good friends? I mean a mainstream actor could get people to stop and at least try to pay attention to the song that doesn't sound all electronically enhanced as is the style these days... you know?

A mainstream actor. Stilles and Ruffalo maybe? :P

You're right, she really doesn't do that..hmm..something to think about.  Like I said, it was something I'd like to see, not necessarily what I expect from her. 
Having a main stream actor I think would draw attention, but I'm not sure she'd do that either..

On April 21st it will be exactly 2 months until the CD.

YESSSSS!  I hope Vanessa gets all the promotion she can for her CD and new videos. She totally deserves it. She's not like those singers you hear about ALL the time in Hollywood and I love her for that :).

I like this idea.  It tells a story and really fits with the song.  And I like the idea of a carnival, which makes you think of a carousel, but it's not completely in your face.
Though I really do want to see a rabbit somewhere, hopping across the screen sometime during the video.  :D
Title: Re: Carousel Music Video
Post by: craft on April 04, 2011, 03:42:07 pm
I think the music video should be her sitting at a piano on a raised platform that's inside of the carousel (where the operator sits). She should be performing the song, with the blurred carousel horses passing close by the camera. Or, instead of horses making up the carousel, they can have a custom-made carousel with rabbits in place of the horses. Or, instead of at a carnival, maybe the carousel can be in that abandoned field in London where she was shooting pictures for ROTR. I say, I rather like the idea of an abandoned carousel that Nessa stumbles upon in a field somewhere. And when she touches it, it lights up. Ooh, the video can be at night, too, making the carousel lights glow. Or maybe Vanessa can be in a small cottage and looks out of the window at night and sees the glow of the lit carousel in the woods. And she travels through the woods and finds it...and also finds the ghost of her lover there riding it. I dunno, I'm a writer by profession, so naturally I have a million ideas for a project that's not even mine.   :D :D :) :)

Title: Re: Carousel Music Video
Post by: [sobriquet] on April 05, 2011, 06:12:56 am
I also liked the idea! I'd love the contrast between the night sky and the colors in the carousel. I hope it'd look like my siggy in one way. (:

And about the rabbits, I hope it won't be overdone. Having a lot exposure of the rabbits, if not done with utmost creative care, can turn into cheesy pun. But I have a lot of trust to Vanessa and her team's creativity.

Well, the album title is supposed to be inspired by Watership Down, so Alice would be contradictory in a way. I like the idea of Victor as the Chesire cat (would they paint him purple?), but the thought of Nessa wearing that cheesy dress isn't doing so great in my mind's eye. As long as she doesn't wear that dress, it'd be a good idea. But, we must also take the budget into consideration. Nessa isn't sitting on a mountain of dough, and I doubt Razor & Tie has Tim Burton money to make a video like that.

An Alice in Wonderland-inspired video would be cool. The title Rabbits on the run reminds me of that.

i think it'll just be something pretty simple & basic but artsy. i can't see vanessa being too literal with the video. she's never really been literal (no white houses in "white houses", no record contract being taken away in "nolita fairytale", no crossing of oceans in "hands on me", etc).

i think whatever the outcome, it will be artsy and totally vanessa. i'm excited.

yeah..
She is not one for story lines, more abstract.  I thought Alice in WOnderland the first time I heard the album was going to be Rabbits on the Run especially because Tim Burtons had just come out around that time.  But she said it was Watership Down rabbits that inspired her, so I totally through all any conceptual ideas based on Alice. (and Alice only has one white rabbit, and the only other rabbit is the March Hare, so there really aren't "white rabbits on the run" in Alice.  I haven't read watership down but I'm guessing there is more than one white rabbit...

Low budget is fine, but I mean that video actually looked like it. Especially the part where she's turning in circles. It just looks lame. I don't know.

I'll take anything with Vanessa in it. No animated images or cartoons...

Even if I had her phone number I don't think I'd call.  I mean, what would we talk about ? lol.  People are strange.  I don't think I'd even have the balls to call in the first place.
same here i mean, id be all like "hi..." lol

That's true. Come the time when it's released, it will be well worth the wait just like the single. But sometimes its just so hard to wait though!

I get the same message (I'm in Australia too). I'm pretty sure this is just the website video. It says the duration is 4:27, and the copy of the website video I have is 4:26. Maybe someone in a country where the video is available could confirm?

That video is flawless. Hands down her best yet (YES even better than White Houses!). My only regret is that we don't see her sing the last "Under" when the piano melody restarts.

Title: Re: Carousel Music Video
Post by: sarab on May 16, 2011, 11:16:28 am
1:20--ballet move? love!
what's the meaning behind perching on the stumps??
scene during the bridge just.. no words.  Very powerful imagery.
1:58 the running is perfect for the "i thought i heard your voice" because it's like she is runnign to find the voice.
2:02 the night image blending with the day image. Love
even though you can't see her face when she says the last "under" i think it still powerful because it's like the spell has broken and night has lifted so now it's the next day and time to start over.

I love the dancing toward the end of the bridge. It reminds me of something I just read by Joseph Campbell when speaking about Buddhism:
" ' The world,' said the Buddha, 'is an ever-burning fire.'  And so it is.  And that is what one has to affirm, with a yea! a dance! a knowing, solemn, stately dance of the mystic bliss beyond pain that is at the heart of every mythic rite."

the trampoline jumping flips between night time and day.  It makes me think that the day jumping is the day after the night jumping and it's like she is remember what she learned on her mystic journey the night before.  That night she realize that the beauty is in the music and all around her.  So she goes about her next day jumping and dancing and exploring with new sight.

2:45 she makes a V shape with her shawl and arms.  I think that's an affirmation of who she is and who she found at the fire side alone that night. (loving that white/lace shawl as well. Reminiscant of the one she places on the piano during shows..)  The V shape again at 3:06/7

"white rabbits on the run" she is in white sort of frolicking/walking through the grass.

I'm sorry, I had to break down all the reasons I like this and what I think each thing symbolizes.  Sleep deprivation makes me think more I suppose.  Any thoughts?

2:52 she sings "beauty stands before you" and she is standing motionless in the white dress like, this (her) is the beauty standing before you.
I noticed the hair too!  I thought it was highlights but I think it's just the lighting and the fact that her hair is so shiny and healthy

I love the styling, the outfits, V (obviously), the symbolism of the video, the scenery. Just wow.

perching on the stumps, she like a bird, like an owl, her hands look like talons (beautiful, elegant talons) so she is the owl casting the spells.  I know I'm a bit weird.  just a thought.

Could be. I thought her "opening" her dress was like a bird opening its wings, too.

I'm still in shock on how amazing she looks in the video!

Her face looks, I don't know, younger in a way and she looks like she's not as skinny as before, which I LOVE!

So inspiring, so beautiful, so everything! Thank you Vanessa <3

The scene with the campfire was beautiful, and I love the jump she does.
The whole video was stunning.  :)

It's different from what I envisioned, but I'm very impressed! It seems a bit different from the others...but not too different. I do love it, though. <333

It's kind of how I always imagined a video for More Than This would be, if that makes sense. But I definitely love it for Carousel, of course.

At first I wasn't too sure how I felt about Perez Hilton posting it...but that's going to be good for it! :D

Honestly, I'm not usually a big fan of music videos - by the time I come across them, I've worked up an image of how the song "looks" in my head so usually I just get disappointed. But that was simple enough to be inoffensive.

first time around i was really underwhelmed, though i recognized how incredibly beautiful v is. repeat viewings have thoroughly enchanted me though!

i love that she is always on the move in the video. so thematically significant.

i'm going to choose to believe that the multiple looks/outfits have something to do with being different along the way, along this journey of hers. if that's complete bullshit though, everything she's wearing is nevertheless fantastic! love the hats and the earth tones and that beautiful, transcendent white dress.

for some, it really may take a repeat viewing, and i hope people do give it that. so moody, sweet, and gorgeous.

yes, I was underwhelmed as well the first time, except with the bridge, that spoke to me the  most. 
I didn't even think about the constantly on the move thing being that significant, though I did notice it ...thanks for bringing that up, more to contemplate!

Hi, everyone - I've been reading this forum for a looong time (it's where I get all my VC news!), but never posted before - but I just HAVE to make it known how much I love this video!  I was practically convulsing as I watched it for the first time, all of the beautiful imagery, the gorgeous outfits... Vanessa looks great, and I think this understated video fits the song perfectly.  I'm so happy with it! 

She looks really mature, I think.

While this song has hit close to home for me lyrically, it's also served me in two other ways as well: as closure (V's words are the words I had trouble articulating) in part of a healing process and striking as a spiritual chord. The songs that fall most personally to me are those which I feel most connected to and, as a result, carry a feeling of spirituality. This song was the first part, but this video? It's just undeniably brilliant. That camp fire and trampoline scene? The candles hitting the other? Majestic, through and through.

On another note, this woman is lovely through and through. Honestly, she couldn't shine any brighter. So beautiful! I just want to hug her.

Love the video. Love the corda! The crescendo just explodes in your face with the visualization... the trampoline and the twirling.... sigh...

perching on the stumps, she like a bird, like an owl, her hands look like talons (beautiful, elegant talons) so she is the owl casting the spells.  I know I'm a bit weird.  just a thought.

My thoughts .. i have a whole thing on it a few page back, but to expand on this particular sentiment, I feel like she is the Priestess doing her ritual at night to the moon, to the earth.  Or, that she is a Woman, connecting to herself and to the world and she's powerful and "casting spells" (but not necessarily spells in the spell sense, more like...she's coming to realizations through these medatations and pondering she is doing about life and love and the result is that she knows that love will come back around again and all she has to do is listen and love everything around her and inside of her.  So she herself is the owl casting spells because she is meditating on all these concepts and coming to realizations... I'm not sure if I am able to express what I mean very well.  I have more thoughts about her being both owl and rabbit mostly because we are nature, nature is us and we are all one.  We tear ourselves down and we build ourselves up and they have to catch us before the can kill us, so keep running and searching and trying to find yourself!

Does anyone feel she's kinda um... "owl"ing herself all over the place?

I am EXTREMELY curious now.

WHY IS THE OWL CASTING SPELLS THAT WE'RE UNDER??!??!?!?!?!

Love the video. Love the corda! The crescendo just explodes in your face with the visualization... the trampoline and the twirling.... sigh...

If I do not EVER get married, it's because I'm in LOVE with her.

YES.  I said this  :
Quote from: sarab on Today at 11:38:43 am
perching on the stumps, she like a bird, like an owl, her hands look like talons (beautiful, elegant talons) so she is the owl casting the spells.  I know I'm a bit weird.  just a thought.

My thoughts .. i have a whole thing on it a few page back, but to expand on this particular sentiment, I feel like she is the Priestess doing her ritual at night to the moon, to the earth.  Or, that she is a Woman, connecting to herself and to the world and she's powerful and "casting spells" (but not necessarily spells in the spell sense, more like...she's coming to realizations through these medatations and pondering she is doing about life and love and the result is that she knows that love will come back around again and all she has to do is listen and love everything around her and inside of her.  So she herself is the owl casting spells because she is meditating on all these concepts and coming to realizations... I'm not sure if I am able to express what I mean very well.  I have more thoughts about her being both owl and rabbit mostly because we are nature, nature is us and we are all one.  We tear ourselves down and we build ourselves up and they have to catch us before the can kill us, so keep running and searching and trying to find yourself!

wow, no, love posts like this  :), keep it coming, I'm loving your explanations of the song, seems pretty spot on  :)

thanks! I've lost my mojo though, I went to sleep!  I am reading the other thread about the owl line and I have no intelligence to add.

Beautiful video! A bit different from what I expected, but I really really loved it! It gets better at the bridge part, which is my favourite part of the song and video.

Did you guys see that when she sings the last line there's a branch in the form of a "V" right in front of her? I'm not sure if it was intentional though.

I love how the forums come alive whenever anything new comes out from V!! ;D

Absolutely amazing video - I missed the piano a bit too, but I really enjoyed the video clip!! Totally fits the mood of the song!!! <3 I really hope we get another video from V, I love her video clips..they're always so awesome. She looks so gorgeous throughout the whole thing - I loved the white dress!! She's really reminding me of Stevie Nicks haha - no surprise there, given the amount of time they spend together :)

Thanks so much for the download link!! I've watched it a few times through Perez's site, but can't seem to get any of the YT links working..thank you!! Have to buy it when it comes out on iTunes :D

Talk about a super Monday!!! ;D

Music videos are born in a lot of different ways. This one for Vanessa Carlton was about as organic as they come. My manager Chris Black ran into an old friend of his, Tracey Moulton, who's Vanessa's stylist on a flight. They both thought we should connect. Vanessa happens to live down the street from me, so we met up and she played me the new album. I instantly thought we have to go to my hometown of Woodstock and shoot a progression of my Test Shots series, which she loves. Each frame of the video would feel like a vintage fashion editorial photograph. Really I just wanted to get out of the city for the weekend with my friends and make something beautiful.
Navajo blankets, Ralph Lauren Collection gowns, chambray (with no pants), nature, bonfires... Just a few of my favorite things. We stayed at a cabin on the top of a secluded mountain and brought our two teams together. I had a ton of fun making the video. I hope you guys like it. Special thanks to Mr. Black, Kerri Kleiner, Tracey Moulton, Kellen Dengler, Ashlea Hartz, Alex Christenson, Kurt Nishimura, the rest of our teams, and the incredibly talented Vanessa Carlton. Enjoy...

Vanessa Carton has recently premiered the music video for "Carousel", the lead single from her upcoming studio album "Rabbits on the Run" to be released on June 21st via Razor & Tie Records - Pretty song, pretty video! I'm afraid though this is gonna flop hArd. She's gotta give us another 'A Thousand Miles" or "White Houses". You know, cute/mellow, piano-driven tunes, with a commercial edge.

It's his opinion and I can respect it, I wouldn't mind it myself (Not that this new stuff isn't the best music i've heard). His website reeks of pop culture so I can see why he thinks it

Wow. How rude. I could care less if what Vanessa does is considered commercial. As long as she keeps making music the way she wants to make it, then I'll be here. If other people won't listen to her because she isn't "pop" enough, then it's their loss. It bothers me the way people throw the word "flop" around, like just because something doesn't sell well, it should be completely discounted, when Vanessa has consistently made some of the best music I've ever heard. If people can't respect her music for what it is...then, frankly, they can just fuck off.

Don't care for those comments either...
Way to misspell CARLTON.  My gosh...CARTON?  Of cigarettes?  Geez.
I understand what he means by the "commercial edge", but man, I think anyone can relate to Carousel.  It's a great concept, and no I will not make a smartass comment about getting off, ha ha.

I like it.  It's classic Vanessa.  That guy doesn't like it?  Too bad.  I do.

I can't stop watching this video.  I really like how it's sort of like a moving photo shoot, like there isn't necessarily a PLOT or STORY that each image advances, it's just about the aesthetics and beautiful imagery.

Does anyone else really like the end, where Vanessa (because clearly we're on a first name basis... lol) turns towards us and sings the last lines right at us?  I can't quite articulate why, but I keep watching it over and over XD

C'mon. Vanessa is SO OVER the pressure to impress anybody. At this point in her life, I think what matters is her true artistry, not commercialism nor the amount of money she'll get.

So, screw cute/mellow, piano-driven tunes, with a commercial edge because what she writes are beautiful piano-driven tunes.

For someone who not only stalks/adores/and sometimes emulates artists like Lady Gaga you cannot consider him to be anything of a connoisseur of good music.

Besides, from what I can hear, this album is a bit like a really fine piece of art. Its something that has come from her heart and not from her head, without taking into consideration album sales/chart topping singles/etc.

This is something that YOU and I and every other NESSAholic on this forum knows.

It's already understood.

Vanessa doesn't want your attention Mr. Perez. This album isn't for you.
Please take your comments and shove them back into where they came from.

When someone dissed Ke$ha a page or two back, I didn't say anything cuz I figured maybe it was a once-off thing, but I for one would rather us not go around bashing other artists just to make ourselves feel better.  And I'm not just saying that cuz I'm a fan of Lady Gaga (which I am, and for the record she has much better music than that "Just Dance" crap), I'm saying it because Vanessa is so much better than dissing other artists for personal gain, and we should be too.  Let's just enjoy her music and let other people enjoy whatever they want to (even if it sucks lol)

For someone who not only stalks/adores/and sometimes emulates artists like Lady Gaga you cannot consider him to be anything of a connoisseur of good music.

Besides, from what I can hear, this album is a bit like a really fine piece of art. Its something that has come from her heart and not from her head, without taking into consideration album sales/chart topping singles/etc.

This is something that YOU and I and every other NESSAholic on this forum knows.

It's already understood.

Vanessa doesn't want your attention Mr. Perez. This album isn't for you.
Please take your comments and shove them back into where they came from.
Thank You.

(I can't believe he got me all worked up like that  :-\)

Hm, i don't think it was Perez that wrote that about the video. Or am I wrong?


I am not sure, it was just written underneath the video that someone had posted a link to but it wasn't from his actual site.  Sorry for the mix up!  I'm not sure who wrote it..

Wow Sara, great signature  :)

Ok. Wow. Talk about faux pas.

Sorry, Mr. Perez. Redirect the last part of that post to one of your snobby followers.
And to the person who mentioned that I shouldn't drag down any other artist, I 100% agree with ya. I'm a bit of a "music-snob" hater and can't believe I reacted like that.

Digression to the topic at hand:

I just realized that this is actually her first video without anyone else.
I mean there is NO one in the video but her.

Does anyone else love the shot of her ring covered fingers touching that icicle like thingy? And the way the water drops down from them? It's just WOW. The more I watch this video, the more I feel like I'm watching a video montage of some really amazing photographer.

And I'm NEVER the kind of person who appreciates clothes. But that white dress.

That WHITE DRESS.

OMG. That dress is sooo sexy/beautiful/virginal... I'm at a loss for words to describe it.
It's just WOW.

I was contemplating that as well.  My theory is not complete, but I was thinking of the hero cycle (archetypes, jung, campbell) but I haven't had time to really dissect this theory of mine so it is very flawed.  It was just an initial thought that I hope to expand on later.
I love the finger shots-- her elegant owl talons.  When I first saw that, the video was blurry and I thought, wouldn't it be funny if there was  ring in the shape of a rabbit?

In a magazine article I saw years ago where it explained the video & how some of the dances were done, it was just a mannequin with a white t-shirt on in the corner.

I'm not saying you're wrong, I just never saw it, lol. :P I'm interested in this myself.

I actually was  not disappointed by the video, nor was astounded. That is, until the bridge.

At the same time, I am glad that there were no carousels at all. That would be so cliche.

Vanessa Carlton: "Carousel" is the only song I've ever written in a dream that sounded lovely the next morning. The origin of "Carousel" is a dream, hence the dreamscape of the visual. I worked with an inspiring group of artists with impeccable taste. We were careful with its visual symbolism. There is nothing meaningless about it and I hope that comes across. The song is hopeful and it grew out of a very dark place. I think this little film of "Carousel" represents the spectrum of the music and I hope it adds a little spark of something pure and inspiring to the mix out there.

I was wondering if she heard the whole thing in her dream, or maybe she had the piano music down already and dreamed the lyrics, or the other way around?  It would be an interesting question to ask her.

Jake Davis Directs Vanessa Carlton’s Super Stylish New Video

In an age where latex unitards, neon-colored hair and bras that shoot either bullets or whipped cream (Gaga, Katy Perry, respectively) have become standard fare for songstresses, it’s refreshing to see that at least one female singer isn’t afraid to be, well, normal. Enter Vanessa Carlton, whose just-debuted video for her latest single “Carousel” takes a decidedly different approach, drawing on personal style, street wear, and vintage clothing as inspiration (instead of say, bondage, aliens and childrens’ toys). But don’t take the word “normal” to mean “boring”–Carlton’s video has some serious fashion cred.

For one, it was shot by director du jour Jake Davis, whose evocative street style videos have garnered attention from editors and branding execs alike and whose own on-point fashion sense has won him a loyal fan base among menswear aficionados. Davis’ signature “Test Shot” aesthetic, which the director put to work for Fashionista’s It Girl series, can be felt throughout Carousel–and like all of his work, the video is equal parts high fashion and street style/ professionally produced video and intimate portraiture.

The video’s stylist, Tracey Mouton, has a similar approach when it comes to dressing her clients: Though she’s styled big name stars on the red carpet (Julia Stiles and Vanessa Carlton among them) and worked with magazines like Elle and Nylon, Moulton’s philosophy is all about authenticity, sticking to a client’s personal style, and eschewing everything else.

All of these elements (plus the bucolic backdrop) combine to create a video that is both beautiful and sartorially inspiring–and best of all, features clothing we could actually, you know, wear.

Just found this in my inbox as well. Isn't it refreshing to find a website or person that actually appreciate taste and simplicity, rather than ridicuously expensive, and quite frankly, often cheesy and rubbish videos. Thank god for Jake Davis and the wonderful stylist ( Tracey moulton?) and if course the wonderful V for making a timeless and magical video.

Well she trained a lot of years and at a prestigious school, so maybe if she doesn't really do it anymore she still would be used to doing things gracefully...LOL, I don't think I made any sense XD let's just leave it at "Vanessa is flawless and can do everything!" hehe

And praise the lord! They unblocked it and now I can post the video on FB for my friends to watch

Yeh, I have a feeling it's from the studio acoustic recordings she did for the iTunes bonus tracks.

Would love to be able to download it though so I have a copy on my hard-drive. Just for when the link vanishes, and we can't watch it online anymore.

I don't know if you all remember me saying how much I thought the drums intruded too much on Harmonium and H&T.  I think the percussion on this album is impeccable (except a little much in TTFS beginning like someone else had said).  mostly it's so subtle and really enhance the songs.  Most of the time it feels like a heartbeat that just pulls you in to physically connect you with the song.  I feel like my heart tries to beat along with the drum in Bride and others

It should be able to play on your iPod, as it's an MP4 file. If not, download Vuze (vuze.com) - it's a free bittorrent client that comes with a video converter. :)
