I like this song, but I don't understand the video. What was the purpose of them getting all made up? Yes, they were pretty before the makeup and still pretty during and after.
I think it was to show you how unreal the magazine pics are. Did you see the tweeking of the faces in the final picture. Where it took their eyes and made them bigger, bolder, moved their eyes apart, made the girls lips bigger etc etc. To show how magazine girls are made to be perfect and not actually what they really look like.
I know myself I watch those Americas Next Top model and some of those girls are... not pretty... but their model pictures are amazing!
Makes the standards for real girls like us so high to meet and the guys of the days expectations unmatchable.
Yes, I saw that part. I understand and I guess that when they show the father/ husband shaking his head at the photo it shows that he liked them better how they were before, but then why did he take them there? See the confusion? Hahaha....I know what they are trying to show but I question it too much. Just call me a rabble rouser.
I love reading your blog Linda and I have been looking for this video to show a friend so I am glad that you posted it.
I love this. Thank you!

Yeah, possibly not the best music video but I like to try to post the originals when I get them off you tube not people putting words to songs ones.
DeleteI could see so much more done with it but whatever it was what they envisioned I guess. The song really touches me and gets me crying.
