A Sorta Fairytale (with Adrien Brody)

Lovely guy, and lovely music video - just a tad creepy.



Strangely enough, with the right context, the video goes perfectly with the content of the music. It's about a sorta relationship that works out perfectly for one perfect good day, between two absolutely incompatible people who, like arms and legs, don't fit together, but don't exactly not make each other whole either. I think when Adrien Brody's hand stroked Tori Amos's face, I sorta melted.

on my way up north
up on the ventura
i pulled back the hood
and i was talking to you
and i knew then it would be
a life long thing
but i didn't know that we
we could break a silver lining

and i'm so sad
like a good book
i can't put this day back
a sorta fairytale
with you
a sorta fairytale
with you

things you said that day
up on the 101
the girl had come undone
i tried to downplay it
with a bet about us
you said that-
you'd take it
as long as i could
i could not erase it

and i'm so sad
like a good book
i can't put this day back
a sorta fairytale
with you
a sorta fairytale
with you

and i ride along side
and i rode along side
you then
and i rode along side
till you lost me there
in the open road
and i rode along side
till the honey spread
itself so thin
for me to break your bread
for me to take your word
i had to steal it

and i'm so sad
like a good book
i can't put this day back
a sorta fairytale
with you
a sorta fairytale
with you

i could pick back up
whenever i feel

down new mexico way
something about
the open road
i knew that he was
looking for some indian blood and
find a little in you find a little
in me we may be
on this road but
we're just
impostors
in this country you know
so we go along and we said
we'd fake it
feel better with
oliver stone
till i
almost smacked him -
seemed right that night and
i don't know what
takes hold
out there in the
desert cold
these guys think they must
try and just get over on us

and i'm so sad
like a good book
i can't put this
day back
a sorta fairytale
with you
a sorta fairytale
with you

and i was ridin' by
ridin' along side
for a while till you lost me
and i was ridin' by
ridin' along till you lost me
till you lost
me in
the rear
view
you lost me
i said

way up north i took my day
all in all was a pretty nice
day and i put the hood
right back where
you could taste heaven
perfectly
feel out the summer breeze
didn't know when we'd be back
and i, i don't
didn't think
we'd end up like
like this

Anyway, enuwy like this one, so just a bit of eye candy while I was at it. I'm starting to get the kick of blogging videos from YouTube and other places I think.

When I first saw that mtv, I thought Tori Amos never looked prettier. It's extremely creepy, you're right. While I've never seen Ms Amos' left foot, so I don't know if her little toe is that odd but I'm quite certain Mr Brody is right-handed and wears his watches usually on his left. But in the video, it's his right hand wearing a watch. I can't tell if it's a Zegna watch though. haahahahahah.

Well, considering that he has only one hand in the mtv, I didn't think he had a choice. I did have to admit that I wished the screen shot with the watch zoomed in though, and I remember thinking - hey, nice watch.

I love Tori's hair in the mtv. you're right, she never looked prettier - especially in the bits where she's staring straight on at mr brody.
