First of all, a big thank you to Tori for the free download of this song and its associated video from her website. It's a great song, and a wonderful gesture much appreciated.
My first impression of the song was one of intense sadness. The woman in the video never smiles once. All around her people are enjoying themselves in various entertainments, but she is utterly alone and doesn't interact with anybody. She no longer makes her husband smile, she cries all the time, she sees no reason to carry on living and she is contemplating suicide.
But Tori's response is: don't do it. Don't jump because your kids love you, whether you can see that right now or not, and your death would kill a part of their joy forever. And don't jump because there is comfort, not right now and right here, but coming soon from another source. Just be strong and ride out the pain and things will get better. A message of hope.
And a metaphor for all of us, right now, in these pretty damn tough times. Mother Earth and all that...
I thought it was awesome, and incredibly comforting, though sad. I wasn't too keen on the costumes and stuff in the video, it all felt a bit posy. Is she going with the ADP girls, or what?

Yes, I think since American Doll Posse she has got seriously into dressing up. All of us express different parts of our personalities to different people, e.g. we tell rude jokes to our friends that we wouldn't tell to our parents, we open up our vulnerable selves to our spouses in a way that we wouldn't do with our colleagues. Tori just takes this further and gives these parts of her personality a name and a hairstyle. I don't mind really, I think it's not to be taken too seriously.
