and I feel like taking that and replacing it with a carousel would be a step backwards for her.

Well, a rabbit on a piano, on a red traveling-carousel and Lord Victor who runs after it :D

Touché. xD

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.

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.

Yes! It's the first single! I hope it's going to be a huge success.

Got the tweet Vanessa wrote while I was at work and I have to say it made making smoothies at Jamba Juice all the more bearable :)

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!!!

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.

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

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..

SO LOOKING FORWARD TO IT!

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 :).
