The Wide Sargasso Sea has something very similar-- "she burned his house down" "They never found her" because in the story she sets the house on fire and herself with it.

Yowza. The opening few seconds of the clip above are very reminiscent of the opening part of the Gyspy video. And the chick walking around her in her long white dress is very like Stevie in the If Anyone Falls video.....

Oh yeah, nice catch. Forgot all about that song. Got to listen to that one again because I don't recall the story line. Why did she do it? I'm pretty sure there is a movie with the same title that she wrote the song about?

I think it explains how Rochester married his mad wife (in the attic)
and the reasons for her burning down his house.
