I have a personal thing about people cheating. I have zero tolerance for cheaters(in my life).

A decade ago, I had a couple years of being a ho. It was GREAT, until the day it wasn't. Then I was done...

Not to mention John was having an affair with Sandra Elsdon.

Point taken. I love Thrown Down, but that is a real thing. Seeing a crowd barricade thrown down in my head is not too romantic. I usually think hurricane when I sing the song. Although you don’t throw down hurricanes.

Except maybe on Bourbon Street.

Default Ever notice?

At the start of the Little Lies video, Christine's chair is so low at the piano it looks very fake or like a child playing, but later in the video the chair is higher relative to the piano, such that it looks like she could actually be playing the piano without developing carpal tunnel syndrome.

Is the chair the same size and she's slumping a bit? I can't tell, to be honest.

Her thigs are horizontal in both pictures, though in the second picture a bit inclined, but not that much. In the first pic her thigs are alined to the piano third square. In the second, alined between second and third square, so I'd say the chair is upper in the second scene.

However in the first pic we can't see the fence, so most likely is the angle from where the camera was recording, that made that effect.

Good eye. That location looks like a beautiful place to shoot.

Little Lies just moved up a notch on my videos list.

We need to get you some help, Joe.

Keen observation there, Villavic! Plus I would add the chair looks like the same chair in both pictures.

Really, people!

The seat of the chair aka her thighs are also much higher in the second scene relative to the piano even after accounting for the perspective change. But we need not linger on her thighs.

All we need do is observe the top of the chair back and its relationship to the piano.

Piano-In-The-Barn


Even accounting for the change in perspective due to the camera angle, the back of the chair is clearly higher relative to the piano in the second scene.

If Christine's elbows do not seem overly bent in the first scene, it's because she is compensating greatly with hunched spine and curled wrists.

My guess is that after they shot the first scene, Christine mentioned the unnaturally low position of the seat, so they fixed it for the rest of the shoot, but for some reason still used some of the unnatural footage in the final cut.

(Note I have used Times New Roman small caps in the Exhibits to further alarm David.)

I've noticed that you guys have too much free time on your hands.

I say it's all camera angle.

I’ve mentioned this elsewhere but I’ll add it here.

Ever notice Bob Welch and Lindsey Buckingham wrote songs about NYC? Each song appears on the fourth album of the guitarists’ respective tenures and both songs appear as the opening cut on side 2. Bob’s “The City” is apocalyptic; Lindsey’s “Empire State” is “asinine” (to quote a contemporary review) and total fun; both are all-out rockers on otherwise largely mid-tempo records. And…on Mystery to Me and Mirage, Christine’s vocals close out sides 1 and 2. So there.
