_Billboard_ was right. I saw Jane Siberry's video "Life is a Red Wagon" today on VH-1. Ed ed@das.llnl.gov

Perhaps you can quickly describe the mood of the video for those of us without cable or don't have time to watch any TV (that's me) ?

All right, I'll try to describe this video (which I've now seen several more times). The mood is one of lazy action, with lots of scenes of slowly revolving objects. There are three types of scenes spliced together. One is in color, with Jane lip-synching alone on a fairly bare set. Another is in muted colors, with various people (not Jane) in comfortable postitions -- sitting, lying on a bed, laughing, etc. Many of these scenes are taken with the camera spinning slowly. Finally, for the parts where Jane sings something like "I'll pull for you, you'll pull for me," Jane, a guitar player, and an accordian player are all sitting around a kitchen table, and the whole scene (people, chairs, table) revolves while the background remains fixed. This scene is again in full color. In all scenes where Jane appears, she is lip-syncing. Ed ed@das.llnl.gov
