    that was lovely. i got a weird little stab of excitement when alison's voice came in! i don't know if i can say much about the song itself that hasn't been said already... now i have to decide whether i want to listen to it again or wait for the album, lol

    gorgeous video/film! the bit at the end with alison climbing the cluttered stairs was wonderful, the smirky bike riding was wonderful... alison's outfit/shoes were AMAZING. (so much better than the weird denim jumpsuits from head first)

    although i do wish it was less... low-contrast, i would have liked for the blacks to have been more black and less grey. my one personal little nitpick. oh well

    I know what you mean - I like a nice dramatic high contrast with my b&w too.

    I think that's a personal/artistic preference some may or may not have. Good point, though.

    i think it also would have better echoed the artwork we've seen so far - the promo photos and the album cover are all quite black.

    on the other hand, maybe it was a deliberate choice to induce a sort of hazy, "faded memory" type feeling? hmmm.

    I guess if it was just black & white it would miss out all those shades of grey.

    The colour is in the sound, that's what I like about Goldfrapp

    I'm usually not too fond of black and white, but what can I say, it's done so brilliantly with Tales Of Us that I barely even noticed. 
    No complaints, love love love!

    I have been watching the video all day long and I guess that this video tells the story of an unconventional love affair happened in a past life. I believe that the trio of lovers have passed away in the past and it seems that Alison for some reasons she doesn't know (YET) is just following the steps of their lives, their love affair, their games, their house and their garden. She walks in the places where the trio used to love and Alison seems to be involved in this love affair. She follows the young naked lady that brings Alison in the garden and dances with her, she makes a toy plane fly with the help of one of the men, she discovers the bed where the trio used to love and here we see a "second" Alison standing at the window as the "today Alison" walks in. This makes me think that the Alison standing at the window has been waiting for a long time to be found by the "today Alison" as now she can join again her previous lovers & friends, getting naked and laying in the same bed with the trio. Sorry for my English, quite difficult try to explain this interpretation in a language that it's not my own!!!

    She already admitted she was Lisa. But, who really cares.


    Huh, where? If Mirror is Lisa, she must have been having a bunch of conversations with herself.

    Okay, this is probably a "Duh!" moment for me but, HJ, you can download from Youtube??!?!  Everything??  I don't see a button anywhere.


    No, it's a good question. :) You do need to get hold of an add-on which lets you download videos from Youtube. The one I use is just called 'Download Helper' (google to find it). When installed it should give you a list of the videos it's detected (ie the various resolutions... obviously you'd normally choose to download the highest res one). It's free and works with 99% of clips on YT. I have the Firefox version.

    Oh god, just a bit! I can't believe all the web column inches that got and it's actually a really, really by-the-numbers track when you take the attention grabbing video away. Let's not mention that any more! :-&

    Oh youtube worked without stopping. Miracle. I was not over excited for the first minute of the song but 4 mins in and I likey #:-S

    im not sure bout the video, the endings w bit silly but I need to see it on a big screen. I do know there is not enough cycling in videos. Also I dont cycle that gracefully. Not when G4S go through a red light str8 into me and don't even open the window for me to hurl abuse at them. Ahem.
