Have you ever heard a song and loved it so much that you played it on a constant loop, over and over, until it's so ingrained in your brain that you even hear it in your sleep? Yeah, me too. When Katy Perry's Teenage Dream released last year, E.T. was the song responsible for my liking her music. It was the first song of Katy Perry's that I downloaded. It complemented the MS I was writing at the time and the words had my imagination sparking like a firework (hehe)! Anyway, I only just came across the music video today, and all I can say is that I'm happy I didn't see her 'take' on the song before I formed my own opinion. Wow, talk about different! (In both awesome and not-so-awesome ways!) And I'm not sure why she keeps using Kayne West?? His lyrics are...well, you'll have to see for yourself. Just be aware that it does have some explicit content. Here's what Katy P. had to say about the video:
"In the end of the world scenery, a human may not look like everything we'd imagine it to look like," Katy explained on her decision to cast albino modelShaun Ross. "[The ending is] almost kind of symbolic. It looks a bit like the beginining of time in the end of time. Like an Adam and Eve situation, like trying to start again in a post-apocalyptic world."
Funny enough E.T was also the first of her songs that I downloaded! I was really into the song when it came out and surprised because I'd never really taken to any of her songs before.
I know what you mean. It's can be surprising to see the video of a song you like because you imagined it different. I've heard a song can inspire a WIP, but it's never happened to me.
The Golden Eagle: Agreed, the legs make me giggle, I'm sorry, but I can't deny it.
A.E. Martin: Isn't that weird? This song must have writer appeal! (I hated California Girls (though my hubby loved it).
Kirsten: Inspiration comes from the strangest sources, eh?
LAF (Like my abbreviation? Sounds like laugh--your blog's full title: Lost and Forgotten, makes me too sad): Yes! I adore 'who am I living for'! Haven't heard it in a while, I'll need to listen to it this weekend.
Mrs. Lind is happily married to a wonderful man who always has her laughing, and is a SAHM of five lovely children. When she isn't trying to figure out which child is screaming and why, you can find her super glued to her computer, fabricating wild tales about other people.
The deer legs did seem a bit strange to me . . . :P

ReplyDeleteI like the song a lot too, but when I first saw the video I didn't like it at all. can't say I did the second time either!
ReplyDeleteI like her song, "who am I living for" from Teenage Dream a lot too.

I have to admit the video is a little weird. However, I definitely do the song loop thing, just the music, not the video.
ReplyDeleteIt is not my favorite KP song. I agree with Shari, the video is a little weird. :)
