All her dreams are made of strawberry lemonade . . .

It hurts and I can't remember sunlight..

Ok. I am officially disappointed.

I was so beyond excited when I heard that Early Winter was going to be Gwen's new single because if you don't already know, it's my favourite song off the entire Sweet Escape album. It's so beautiful.. It really is a gorgeous song. I've had it playing on my xanga for about a year now if you want to hear the entire song (go there for those who know the link to it.. otherwise. tough titties). Ok.. so, what can I say. The video is out.. and much like the 4 in the morning video.. the Early Winter video leaves a LOT to be desired. Well, sure Gwen looks fabulous in it. We already KNOW Gwen looks fabulous, we don't need to reassert that anymore than it already has been. So.. what's my problem? Well, with such a beautiful and profound song like this one, it lacks a storyline.. just more Gwen rolling around and being her pretty little self. For those who just want to see Gwen looking fantastic.. you shall not be disappointed.. this video will have you most excited. But... .i want a storyline..when you're able to do so much with a video.. why not do it? I want a storyline.., a really dramatic and sad one full of despair and aching and all other sorts of painful and melancholic emotions.. because that's what the song's about. It seems promising at first with the dood thrown in there making it seem like there's going to be some sort of love story happening.. but alas.. no.. there isn't. Just Gwen frolicking with the boy and rolling and giggling on the floor. Loads of Gwen close-ups and more Gwen rolling about. I'm so beyond disappointed and I was really hoping for a lot more than this.. especially with my huge disappointment with 4 in the morning. To make matters worse, they've cut several parts of song short.. yes.. they're cut short. why? well, i haven't the slightest idea why.. and frankly.. i couldn't care less. This is one video i do not care to watch.. and I'll just continue to listen to the song on its own. It's still my favourite song.. and if you get a chance, listen to the full track on its own, sans video.



Here's the video. Let me know what you think:

haha by this point.. trust me, i think so too. she just ruined my favourite song for me. tsk tsk Gwen. what's going on with your creativity? Seems like your creativity is about making more products and being the centre of beautiful as of late.
