Stevie is not standing on a box. Watch the video again and you will see her shoes many times throughout the video. If there was a box, I think we would see a box and not her feet on the hardwood floor and her taking a step here and there.
Love this simple video btw.

Chills at about 00:18. I love how she looks, I love the setting. This is 66 year old woman, and she carries herself with such grace and elegance. This video complements her talents at this age very well.

Since Fleetwood Mac is in rehearsals and the tour starts in just a few short weeks (and lasts til the end of the year), do you think they'll find time within her busy schedule to film more videos for 24KG? Or do you think that this might be the only video we get?

[gypsyrock]

One more question.... Who allowed this to happen? Obviously at the end of the day Stevie approved this, but I can't help but wonder why, in the last few years, does she continue to make one bad decision after another? She truly is becoming a train wreck.

I am so incredibly disappointed in her. She is the only artist i have ever really connected with. Yet, I grow more dis-enchanted by her every year. I can't figure out if it is because she has changed so much or I have changed or both.

It's just sad to watch. Even the way she looks has gotten "odd". For example, there is something wrong with her upper lip the past few years, it looks like she has had one too many Botox treatments and can't really move the upper lip. Her face recently has started to have that "octolady" look to it, the plastic surgeon is pulling too much, she is gonna end up with that " joker smile" if she keeps having work done by those LA surgeons......this last video broke whatever shred I was holding on to....

I am walking away now. After 35 years I can not keep watching this. I am done. Goodbye.

Jeez! You do realise she is 66 years old right? i mean what do you expect? If you actually take a look at the video its in the simplicity it is beautiful. It represents the way she feels then and now. Its a little sad and lonely and the uncertainty of her future comes across both from the past and the present. I love it

^^This. I think maybe some more clips of Dave Stewart at the piano and just a little more movement might have given it more cohesion and impact, but I like it just fine as it is too.

I could see how this would be all we'd get, but it would be nice if there was one more video - for either of the two remaining singles. I'm going to hold out hope, at least for a Starshine video.

I think it's perfect .

I agree that the video is works for the song. It is simple and elegant. The empty theatre chairs reinforce the message in the song that no one is listening. It would have been sweet to see her at the piano for a bit, but overall I'm really liking this.

LOLOLOLOL!
One less thing to b*tch about.
I wish there had been at least one close up, if anything to sell the emotion of the song. Overall though i thought it was cool. If I had to grade it I'd give it a B -.

[dontlookdown]

I've never been a big fan of the videos Dave
has done for Stevie.
They look really dated and the editing is amateurish.
But as someone else said - she's 66 and feels comfortable
with him running the show.

Great song but she looks unnecessarily wooden in this
video.

Good come back! Agree totally. At least give the album a fair chance, even if you don't like the video. I'm not thrilled about it either but it hasn't quelled my excitement for this record because, ultimately at the end of the day, it's the MUSIC that draws most of us to her!

Unfortunately, this guy (or girl? ~ reebokandlace) has spent a lot of time this year pointing out the NEGATIVE things about Stevie, her age and her career. Case in point...

Also, I am so sick of those stupid aviator glasses. They are horrible and someone needs to tell her she looks "special needs" when she wears them.

Stevie is 66 years old, NOT the 27-35 year old skinny, fashionable, velvety high ranged voiced siren that you (as well as all of us) loved 30+ years ago. Perhaps, reebokandlace, when you reach her age and have culled a huge legendary career with icon status, you might understand that she can do whatever the hell she wants to do, make any decision she wants to make and not care what people think. This is HER LIFE, not yours. This is HER PROJECT, not yours. If you don't like it, then that fine, and you're certainly welcome to your own opinion. Unfortunately your opinions aren't valid when you are clearly taking pleasure out of making fun of the wardrobe of a 66 year old senior citizen, and compare her to a "special needs" individual. As someone who has three special needs family members, those comments offend me to no end, and you should be ashamed!!!

As you say, you are a fan of the "Stevie who used to be" and not what she has become. I can only hope that when you reach your late 60's, that some sort of wisdom will start coating your brain matter and the childish attitude equaling your "fear of change" will slowly dissipate.

But for right now, good luck on your life's journey! Meanwhile, the rest of us will all continue to enjoy this wonderful woman/singer/songwriter/poet/entertainer throughout all the changes, the downsizing, and the growing wisdom with age...ALL THE WAY TO THE BANK...at 95 years old, spinning on stage with an electric wheelchair!

Jesus.....

Okay, I'd like to start by saying I really, really like this song. I like that it's so stripped down and the raw vocals here work a ton better with this track than they do with The Dealer which I was pretty let down by and still am.

Also when music videos and Fleetwood Mac/Stevie Nicks are concerned, I don't expect Avatar let alone cheap popcorn flick flash and style but holy cow, this video is cheap and BORING. It was almost a chore watching it and it felt like the director was more inclined to get the theater in the shots more so than Stevie herself, I kept seeing her slide over to the sides of the frame and was thinking "what the hell?"

Her last batch of videos were works of art compared to this. I know Stevie can do a lot better than this production wise, we saw it with the videos for In Your Dreams, even Every Day didn't suck as bad as this. Oh well, at least I know the album is still coming but this was such a bummer.

Oh the plus, she looks fantastic for her age in the video though so kudos to that.

I think the Every Day video is great. I love the way she changes outfits and her hair and I love all of the different scenery. I don't think we'll ever get anything like that again and that is really sad.

[madeline]

Okay is it just me or does she look god awful in this interview. That eye make up is doing her no favors at all. And her eyes look red and glassy. I saw her in an interview video with Mick and Lindsey earlier this year, and her eyes had the exact same make up and I remember thinking how much it looked terrible. On the other hand after reading all the comments about the actual video of Lady, and I did go into it thinking I ain't gonna like this, I actually didn't think it was that bad at all.
The song itself, not being one of my favorites anyway, is kind of growing on me with her older voice.
