Well, let's just be honest here, and express thanks that Tori actually bothered to make a video for this. It's been so long since we actually got a proper video with her in that didn't involve a slide show and wasn't just a straight studio performance/one of her weird visualettes, that we thought we'd never see an Amos video again.

Well here one is, but it's not quiet the triumph we would have hoped for. With the right kind of budget this could have been stunning, but budget is quiet clearly an issue here. The camera is so still and the lighting is so plain. The editing is clunky and why oh WHY is Tori constantly looking up into the corner of the room as if there's a really spangly spider web up there that she can't wait to get down with her feather duster as soon as the song's done?

We mean... it's not that bad. At least she's in it, and not conspicuous via absence, as Kate Bush was in the heavy-handed and literal "Deeper Understanding" MV. And, again, let's just be thankful that it exists.

But let's not pretend that this isn't a little disappointing.

  1. WHY is Tori constantly looking up into the corner of the room as if there's a really spangly spider web up there that she can't wait to get down with her feather duster as soon as the song's done? -> ROFTL, i'm lauging everytime, when i read this sentence. imho, maybe tori had pain in the neck. (she is 48 now!) i don't know...when she performs, she sit in this position... very weird!
