1234...
When Apple announced their new line of iPods, the nano earned video capabilities, a bigger screen, and gained weight, as some would say. (See here: http://www.apple.com/ipodnano/)
Segue... I've seen the new nano and it looks better in person. Its kinda cute actually... Anyway, moving on...
Along with the new nano, there was also a new ad featuring the song (and the video) 1234 by Canandian singer Feist. (See the ad here: http://www.apple.com/ipodnano/ads/) I've never heard of Feist before so I didn't put much thought to it.
I was just doing my routine weekend browsing when I decided to check out the full video on YouTube, and let me just say that it made my day. See it now here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d3vIv1EwO5A
In an age of pointless lyrics and sexually charged music, the simplicity and the innocence of the song makes it stand out and more charming (The banjo strums are an especially nice touch). You must be wondering and the answer is YES! The video is ONE continuous shot. (No editing...) Want proof? See the making of the video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Hfn7EPM9CE
Its nice to know, that there are still a few musicians who put thought in their videos.
