Brandi Carlile, 'Dreams' -- Video Premiere
- Posted on Oct 15th 2009 11:00AM by Benjy Eisen
The video for the first single from Brandi Carlile's newest release, 'Give Up the Ghost,' is filled with revelry and images of the place where the real wild things are -- the land of dreams. It's no surprise then that the song itself is called 'Dreams,' and you can probably guess what the song is about. The video was filmed on location in a place actually known for being filled with revelers and real-life wild things actually roam -- New Orleans. "We went to this place called Mardi Gras World," Carlile tells Spinner. "It's where they keep their old retired Mardi Gras floats and mascots. And the concept of the video -- the song being called 'Dreams' and being in the Mardi Gras warehouse -- was kind of this ethereal dreamworld vibe where I was supposed to be asleep and I'm seeing all these characters and all these things fading in and out of view."
With the help of director Roman White, this song really kind of makes you want to go to sleep; not to get rest so much as to chase the video's unspoken promise that sweet dreams are made of these.

I would have only changed one thing with this video.
If I was Brandi, I would have had my hands behind my head when laying back against the tree....and I'd have been more theatrical with it...
She's a talent, and quite a singer, but she could play into it a little more...as a performer...
I love ya, Brandi!!

I must say they had a good time doing the vid but the song itself is rather, um, plain. I really thought the twins would really get her into turning up the amps and hitting some harder chords but it never happened. She needs to listen to some old teins music and turn up her approach. Toooooo much acoustic. Amazing talent there yet to truly be untapped. Disappointed. Lose the twang.
The live show as others stated is fantastic and has been that way since the days of the paragon and chop suey but the studio stuff is rather predictable.

I remember here singing this song near the end of her Seattle show last November and saying it was a new one she was working on! I loved it then, and I love it even more now... Brandi, every thing you do it epic to my heart.

Pure Brandi. It's just amazing, the same feeling as I had with "The story'
I do't understand why I can't find the other Dutch Brandi fans. I would sure want to write to them about 'our Brandi'.
