"Everyday" with Dean Karr - Page 2

I for one would be very interested in this book. Please let us know when it's completed how we might get a copy. I thought the video was breathtaking and loved all the hard work you put into it. Thanks for visiting us here on The Ledge.

Would you mind letting us in on the inspiration behind the video. I know it's been discussed here before but it would be really interesting hearing it right from the horses mouth, so to speak.

Dean, I have to join the chorus of well-wishers here. A much belated "thank you" for producing such a stunning piece of work. It is by far the most vivid and haunting of Stevie's videos, as well as the most creative. Regarding some of the imagery, I can't help but wonder whether you drew inspiration from Carly Simon's "Boys in the Trees," especially the part where the boys are, um, up in the trees.

I have been trying to find the hidden meaning behind the big feast, the rodent invasion of said feast and the subsequent dozing off (or death?) of the guests of said feast. Well... even if there is no real meaning to any of this, the imagery is still breathtaking and surreal.

Also, I love the B&W shot you chose for the cover of the book. Can this be purchased as a large-scale piece?

Yeah, well I'm the kind of GUY who doesn't talk to much so you must not have noticed me.

Stevie has talked about this video before - that's where I learned she didn't like the dress if you are upset over that. Thank god you and Stevie overcame the dress. I just got the feeling you and Stevie didn't get along good from her video commentary for Everyday, that's all. She said something like you must think of her as a female black swan (or some other animal, I'm clueless) because she was grumpy.

I love this video. A book would be very cool. I love the black swans, and the black dress is amazing. From what little I have seen of the ivory/white dress, that is quite beautiful too, and I love her hair in that scene. Even though there is no wedding cake or anything on the table it always reminds me of Great Expectations. The peach dress always struck me as an unusual choice, but now I see it wasn't what had originally been intended. It reminds me of a bridesmaid's dress gone awry. But - Stevie Nicks seems to be able to pull anything off, even that.

HEY DEAN!!
First of all...WELCOME to The Ledge =)
Second...I must say that "Everyday" is such an AWESOME music video!! Too bad you and Stevie didnt like the peach dress. I really liked it on her and thought the color looked great on her. But hey Stevie knows best =P Also, I think video outtakes from the shoot would be awesome

I'll be dropping you an email shortly about the book

I agree, the video is one of the best produced video she's done. Too bad it's for a song she didn't write, and one she has completely forgotten. It's pleasant and just a little generic. I wonder if she was given the song and told to record it for the sole intent of having a hit. Granted, it did get fair air play, but it's one of her songs that you'll never see on any future compilations.

I love this video and have wondered about the "men in trees" and other imagery as well. Would love to hear more about the inspiration..and those wonderful black swans.

It's my favorite part of the video. It's almost like a representation of former her lovers. I also know that some people thought that Rappacini's Daughter was a big inspiration in this video.

Thank you for sharing those pictures with us Dean.

I have to disagree with you in one thing.

I thought Stevie looked gorgeous with the Peach dress. She looked kinda liked she looked back in 1982. The hair, the color of the dress...everything. So believe it or not I adored that style the best from the whole video.

I loved the swans too btw

Bella Figura · #28 03-25-2009, 07:32 PM

Hi Dean, thank you for sharing your pics and thoughts about working with Stevie on her Everyday Video...it's also my favorite...I will add my name to the list of those interested in a book compilation...thank you again!!

silversprings62 · #29 03-25-2009, 07:33 PM

Hey Dean!
I don't know about anyone else, but I would love a book with behind the scenes stories about our girl. We get so very little of this kind of information, it would be a treat to have a first hand account from someone who was given the privilege to work with Stevie. So I hope you get a lot of positive responses and thank you so much for posting here!

sleepless child · #30 03-25-2009, 07:42 PM

Thanks Dean for showing us the great photos from your video shoot. I loved the video and would also be greatly interested in the book. Any tidbits about the shoot you want to share?
