Things have been strange lately.
I am known as a complainer, I'll admit. But this winter has just about done me in.
I'm trying to decide whether this particular winter is actually worse than the previous ones, or if its simply my state of mind thats making me notice the cold and dark more acutely.
I know for certain that one of the catalysts for my disdain would be the shooting of th e video for Gimme Your Love. We shot it in the middle of a freak winter blizzard. I feel like I haven't really been able to thaw my bones from that one.
Is it true that if you get really cold or frostbite, then you are more susceptible to it? If so, I've answered my own question.
Speaking of the video, I've received a couple of edits of it to proof over.
Let's just start off by saying that I am not an actor. I can barely hold it together during a Christmas, family portrait.
So needless to say, when the camera is rolling and I'm supposed to sing "Give me your love" to a lovely waitress, I am smiling like an idiot.
Any shot in the edits of this video where I am required to do anything but play guitar and sing are truly painful to watch. It looks like one of those subliminal toothpaste commercials where everyone in the world, regardless of what they're doing, be that playing tennis or shopping for fruit, naturally has a huge grin from ear to ear, exposing their white smile. It's kinda like that except I look even more ridiculous.
Now, if that weren't enough, those of you who know me can say that I'm a pretty skinny guy.
Lean, slim, whatever. Well, somehow I manage to have taken the 10 pounds that the camera adds and placed it all on my neck. Ten pounds, just jiggling around.
So between the infinite smiling and the thunder jowls, my video resembles what you'd see if you gave a fat kid a bulk-o-rama bag of M&M's and told him there was more when he wanted it. As long as he sang, "Give me your love".
Let's hope they can fix it with the third edit huh?
