wait... i don't get the alice in wonderland bit. it's not a fairytale, it's a cautionary tale on the dangers of imaginary numbers. other than that this is a pretty good video
Fairytales have taught me that I should: Be bratty and selfish, not pull any of my own weight, be unappreciative when I have something good, expect things to get done for me, expect the men to solve my problems, be weak and passive, get married to a stranger at a young age, assume old and ugly people are evil, and directly disobey my parents to I can do something I'm not supposed to. And people wonder why our society is screwed up.
I love the original version soo much more <3 Sara is so talented and beautiful! I aspire to be like her, though it will never happen. The old, "she has more talent in one pinky than I do in my entire body" kinda things. But still it's a lovely thought!
this song just makes my life. its the best break-up song in the world. like listen to this when youre pissed at a guy and you feel instantly so much better. or at least satisfied.
@jillrwargers That is the question I've been asking myself for years. That's one of the reasons I don't listen to top 50 songs and super mainstream pop, it's all the same stupid themes in crappy, auto-tuned voices.
@jillrwargers cause the media knows the crap ones make us feel better about ourselves, and their goal is, clearly, to make us feel better about ourselves... they haven't quite figured out the mechanics behind inspiring people by promoting actual talent.
whats up guys??? i did a cover to this song on my channel and it would mean so much if you guys would check it out and subscribe. and tweet me @_Indiah xoxo Indi
I love how she is one of the only pop artists who for one, are actually deserving of being called an "artist" because they write and sing their OWN music. I also love how she is one of the only female pop singers who remain FULLY CLOTHED and untouched by a plastic surgeon's scalpel.
This has much better quality than the other video posted. Same music video, but.. in this you can hear her awesome voice much better an see everything clearer.
Funny thing: I don't quite agree with the message the song is sending ... but I love the song. :) Her voice and the piano rock the lyrics and make it all worthwhile. :)
@dbl44 most people don't really realize how sexist fairytales are because it's desguised by "happily ever after"s and we're just used to them. But when you really pay attemsion, a lot of them are saying that girls have to wait around for a big strong man to come and save them or they'll be unhappy their whole lives. Kindy sucky that this is pounded into the brains of 6 year olds isn't it?
Sara! She rocks! I love her. Wished she would share her story and allow people to connect their dots to her on Pocodot - (pocodot dot com) - she rocks. I hear Pocodot is the Facebook killer….

I'm suprised no ones commented on this yet! I love it! It's an awwesome song! And i love how it's saying that all these 'Happily Ever After Endings' aren't always so Happily Ever After, just like real life.
why the hell isn't she as famous as any other artist?!
