[rec.music.gaffa] The Sensual Video!

The video for _The_Sensual_World_ was played this afternoon on "YTV Rocks",
a half-hour video station on Canada's YTV!  All I can say is it's one
beautiful video.  Has it been seen in the States yet?

In it, Kate's wearing a long dark velvet dress and a hat with a veil wrapped
around her chin and flowing back over her hair.  She's dancing down a path
through the woods.  At first, the light is warm and soft, like sunlight
filtering through the trees overhead.  Later it becomes a deep orange from
the large red sun, now setting.

Then Kate removes her hat as big flames leap up in the background, just
beyond the trees.  She dances a strange dance with the fire spreading
across the horizon under the setting sun.  Then it becomes night, dark
but with stars and a big bright full moon.  Finally, as the song winds up,
it becomes light again, as at the start of the song.

There's a lot of fluff floating through the air at times--down?  With petals
perhaps?  And in the night scene, what seems to be hail rains down on Kate at
one point, and there's some swirling ... snow?

Wonderful.

Oh no!  It sounds like the killer floating fluff from Legend!  (In that
potentially good but really poorly assembled movie, practically every
scene is filled with petals, or snow, or fluffy things, or bubbles (I'm
not kidding!).  I think it's because they wanted it to look like they
were really outdoors.  It didn't work.)
