Did anyone else see the guy in the backyard corner grilling hot dogs? Just me?

This video is all over the place! I know it's good to recycle....but..

If Stevie had just stood under the staircase holding the owl and singing the song for the entire video, that would have been more "artistic" and supremely more watchable than this.

Interesting to see this finished video after repeated (and repeated) views of the Moonlight bits in the trailer from back in February. Is it because we've seen that short clip so many times and basically memorized its composition that this one just pales in comparison? I was expecting...bigger.

However, the frickin' video is finally here, and I am absolutely stunned and elated that we're seeing it. Let's face it - we should be thrilled that there are any videos for this album at all given the music industry and Stevie's age. This video assuredly made my night.

That said...

Dave's dancing bits. Dave's peeking from behind the curtain. Dave period. Get riddah.

Waddy looks as though he's about ready to be embalmed.

And the group shots with the arm-raising on "strange..." -- Does. Not. Work. This mystical, ethereal and dramatic vibe is created, and then that pops up on the screen. Smiling girl with braces? You're killing it for me.

Sharon walking through the trees in the "moonlight" is absolutely stunning, though.

Overall, not quite sure what Stevie's camp was going for here. One of her most dramatic and compelling songs of all time, and it's just a mish-mash in many parts.

I had to say those things, and feel much better now. But at the end of the day, bloody thank you for this video. We've been waiting for it and here it is. I'll take it - warts and all!

If ever there was an indication that you have no idea what you're talking about, it's right here.

Correction: Waddy looks like he's already BEEN embalmed.

And I agree with EVERYTHING else you say.

Oh you negative Nancies.

I love it that there's a video for "Moonlight". It's more important to have one than for it to be perfect, and not everything that Stevie does is going to be perfect. She's human, Dave's human, they do the best they can. And "the best they can" has been probably the best album of Stevie's career.

Worst. Stevie. Video. Ever.

I can't believe what they did to my favourite IYD track!

SORRY, I don't like the video. I think it's a great single but the video just looks cheap. I liked the For What it's Worth and Secret Love videos eventhough I didn't think they should be singles. They had some quality. This is just a collection of shots. This is a last ditch effort. No radio edit to boot.

After watching this, I seriously doubt we are going to that dvd companion piece.

Other than the shot of Dave running in place & the group sing-along, I thought it was absolutely perfect. Gothic & surreal, but with a sense of whimsy -- and Stevie looked gorgeous.

By the way, are my eyes deceiving me, or is that the lovely Christine McVie in the photograph on the wall behind Lori?

No. I believe it's Bonnie Tyler.

Well, Stevie did do a cover of that big hit song of hers.... "Turn Around Bright Eyes," I believe it was called. I downloaded it from Napster back in the day, so it HAS to be real.


PS: I miss you!
