See Me Smile, It's Not For A Funny Joke

It is one of those days when it is so terrible outside that it makes me want to curl up in bed and not get out. This makes for a very unproductive day trust me. Well, after bumming around my PJs until 3pm I have put it into my mind that it is time to attempt some form of productivity and here I am writing a blog, hopefully it will turn into something worth reading.

Yesterday was a good day for my favourite musician Kathleen Edwards. She released a cover of the song It Must have been Love, which is beautiful and you should go download it right now, and she released the music video for her song Comedian/Chameleon. This song is one of my favourites on the album Voyageur, I know I could say that about every song on the album but whatever, and I have been waiting for this video ever since October when Kathleen tweeted that they were filming it.
I’ve written about Comedian/Chameleon before in the review that did for Voyageur, it was short but concise so I think that I will share it again instead of rewriting the same sentiment.
“The next song is Chameleon/ Comedian. I have a bootleg copy of this song from her performance at the Drake, and I have to say this song it so different. I really love the changes that she made. It is a little slower and more intense. You can really feel the emotion coming through within the instrumentation. I love the lyrics of this song, they really just make sense. It is almost like an epiphany happening within a song. The metaphor is that strong.”
The video beautifully shot and builds on the ideas that are held within the lyrics. I think that one of my favourite things about Kathleen Edwards is that she is not afraid to think outside the box. This video is different and I don’t think that there are a lot of musician who would have been brave enough to do something that is so in your face. It is such an interesting concept and each frame is so cool.
Please take some time to watch the video for Comedian/Chameleon! And then go download It Must Have Been Love!
