Sia's music video for her song "Buttons" (the hidden track) from her album "Some People Have Real Problems". Directed by Kris Moyes
**JUST TO CLARIFY!!!!
this is NOT supermac18's original idea for his video response. so you should think twice next time you say that Sia copied a little boy to make a music video.
After being posted by blogger Perez Hilton on his site, this video got over 300,000 views in one day and became the No.1 Most Linked Music Video and No.2 Most Viewed Music Video on YouTube.
For those asking "Why did Sia make this?", here's her answer:
"Kris Moyes (the director) got the idea for contorting a face using sticky tape from an artist whose name i can't remember on the internet, and was writing a treatment for a vid for the band, The Gossip, whilst staying at my house in LA(he is a friend from Australia) i stuck my face up for fun and thought it would be an awesome vid, and when The Gossip heard it they loved it but due to some sort of travel/scheduling issue they couldn't do it, so i said ok well let's do it together, for one of my songs, just for fun. so we did. and it WAS fun."
-Sia

Lyrics:
you caught me pushing imaginary buttons
(step away from me lover, away from me lover)
you caught me counting imaginary school-children
(get away from me lover, away from me lover)
yes, i can see that your carpet is animated
(walk away from me lover, away from me lover)
yes, i see open wounds in everyone i dated
(away from me lover, get away from me lover)
i am no good for you
i'm seeing ghosts in everything i do
you caught me turning all the lights on and off
(walk away from me lover, away from me lover)
when will you see that i am carrying this stuff?
(walk away from me lover, away from me lover)
can't you see that i am losing my marbles?
it's marvelous, losing another, losing another
i am no good for you
i'm seeing ghosts in everything i do
**If you're wondering what this song is about, trust me you're not the only one
Question: "Some of the lyrics in Buttons are very interesting. 'Yes, I can see that your carpet is animated.' Discuss."
Sia's Answer: "OK, OK, I gotta tell you, I was at the end of the rope! There are four cycles for the process of doing my job; theres writing, recording, promo and touring, and I was at the end of my writing cycle, which can sometimes, between albums, and in this case, can be up to three years! I was writing with all sorts of different writers and I wasnt really having any experiences, I was just going into work every day and writing one or two songs a day, like accumulating songs, for me, for other pop stars 'cos at one point I thought it wasnt going to happen for me so I should just start writing for other people if I can. So it was like the last session I did, and I had literally nothing, and I was so bored of myself and I hadnt done anything or had any experiences for like a year, and so I wrote nonsense!"
