Whoever does her styling is flawless, the clothes, the hair, the scenery. EVERYTHING. Her best video to date, hands down. She's back!
Peace

Vanessa looks bloody amazing in this! Wow. Some of those shots were beautiful - especially the ones with her in that red/brown dress.

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?

I just can't get over her wardrobe, like....she's just so fierce. The maroon v-neck mini long sleeve mini dress with the boots. So fab, I couldn't get over it.
Peace

I wish I had her stylist.  Also, her body, because I could never pull those outfits off!

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.

Has she had highlights in her hair? Parts look lighter. And it looks longer, too. It looks good either way.

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
