April 15, 200817 yr Author About the video, and other cool infos :P I've just finished shooting my new music video for the song Pocketful of Sunshine so look out for it coming soon! You'll see a bit of the adventurer in me as I parachute my way out of a frustrating situation. The vid is about freedom and how we all have our own pocketful of sunshine - the place that we go to that makes it easier to handle difficult, mundane or painful situations in life. There are moments when you need to find a safe place to escape to. The 'parachutes' we use to get us there are different: things like art, music, dance, entertainment, prayer, friendship, a phone call, food, substances (sometimes our means of escape are not always healthy, sometimes they are positive ones), books, internet, hobbies etc. It ' s basically the concept that sticks and stones are never gonna break me because it ' s possible to have an inner peace that takes me away so I'm safe and means I don't have to just lie there and receive whatever c**p life throws. When I was trying to find a director for the video I found it interesting that the ideas some directors started sending me were scenes of flowers and fields and lots of pretty, sunny things. I think they thought that this song was only about happiness and things going well. I wanted a video that showed the contrast that happens in life, like finding beauty in the middle of ugliness or strength at times of weakness. That's why I worked with the director Alan Ferguson, to show stories that happen in urban settings. With concrete, fluorescent lights, arguing, boredom, ordinary life situations that can get you down. I wanted to show stories of people finding a safe haven within these places. Anyway, enough explaining, its one of those songs you can interpret in your own way really. I'm excited to show the video. By the way I keep going back and forth from UK to USA and I'm coming back to UK next week for a week. I have to say on my last visit to London I was so impressed by the fashion and the way the music scene is. I love how Londoners walk around with such a personal style. So functional, quirky and individual. I love the fact that the Streets and Dizzy Rascal, MIA, and Lilly Allen made it cool to rap and sing in your own accent. I think that's a big reason why the USA is so into our music at the moment, because we're being ourselves. There was a while in the pop scene when every country in Europe had their own versions of all the USA singers. But now we are more willing to take risks and I appreciate that it's more honest. I reckon that's why some of the biggest music influences - The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Radiohead and U2 - all did so well worldwide. They had and have something that the world didn't have and needed. Ok peeps. I'm gonna go do something useful now... exactly what I'm not sure yet, but with a few hours off I'm gonna make the most of 'em. I'll probably just end up catching up on telly or going out. I'm in Toronto right now by the way; singing at Toronto Idol. There's lots to do in this city that's for sure. Sounds like a night on the town is in order!! Something else I'm excited about is that I'm going on my first USA full band tour, which is being sponsored by Verizon. You might have noticed that my vlogs (video blogs) have not been put up so regularly recently. Don't worry, there'll be some more of my crazy escapades coming online soon. I love bringing my camera around coz I want you lot to feel like you're on the road with me when you're watching. I want you to know how much I appreciate my fans and that I think of you wherever I go. Plus I just like vlogging... they're so much fun to make. Watch out for me putting Perez Hilton in the hot seat as I interview him for a change (love his vh1 show by the way - really impressed that he ain't just a good blogger... but actually is a natural on TV). Also, my adventures on the upcoming tour, meeting Jordan backstage (who was actually Katie Price at the time), meeting the members of my band, plus continued behind the scenes stuff on everything that's going on! T.T.F.N (Ta Ta For Now) Ten points to you if you can tell me what cartoon that quote is from... Nat x She's such a lovely girl :wub:
April 17, 200817 yr Nice, but she looks weird at the end sitting on the flower, that reminds me of the god of Buddism!
April 18, 200817 yr It's been removed now :( It's been uploaded to her official channel but can only be viewed by people in the US. Way to go Natasha, don't isolate your other fans at all. :wacko:
April 21, 200817 yr The skydiving scene is naff, they should have used special effects and had her jump out of the office building with no parachute, and falling into the sea, something like that. WOuld have been waaaaaay better ^_^ But, the video's good as it is and I'm glad its helping the song (top 10 on iTunes!)
