Ever since 911, everything that is slightly out of the box is surreal. How about just unusual ? Different? Melting clocks and pictures within pictures ( a la Margritte and Dali) are surreal.
@novan08 I don't need to take a deep breath for anything. I am just saying that the word is over-used and lately in the wrong context. you (insult) ( insult)
I assume Beth has some creative input when her videos are made and both singles from Comfort of Strangers are set outdoors. I know she gave birth before (or during?) this album and it's interesting to see how she expresses this new motherhood phase of her life (especially since her own mother died when she was young). Her music itself has softened around the edges with a shift away from electronica. It's so enjoyable to follow a musician's evolution and hear the sound of their transformation!
she sings a song from the "Stir of Echoes" movie called "It's not the spotlight". It's excellent! Does anyone know where we can wathc that on youtube?
This track is a bit too clean or commercial sounding and not quite as good as her earlier stuff. I still love the 'Trailer Park' album, which is a truly beautiful album and kinda stops me from really dissing anything that beth does, even this track.
I grew up way after the 'Labyrinth' generation but I still loved watching it as a kid and this definately has a special quality about it which reminds me of all the great old skool kid's entertainement.
Those of you who do not understand this and have posted daft comments, I say to you: watch it again with a child. Perhaps then you'll get it. Beth is a true songstress for these times, the Joni Mitchell of this generation. I defy anyone to label her and put her in a box. I don't think there's anyone else, at this time, that even comes close. Watch what she does next!
I really like the puppets. I think it depends when you grew up. If you were part of the Dark Crystal/Labyrinth generation, I think you will see this differently. She is about my age so it makes more sense.
She is so beautiful! and so is her angelic voice. Is that the Green Man? <3<3

@gazeff i think you should just take a deep breath and realise that the word existed long before the artistic genre or classification did.

Beth Orton does Sesame Street. I guess it's okay. The song is very good.

What do you mean commercial sounding? It's just another phase in her music. Accept it or not. Don't label it.
