The Creative Independent one was a particularly good read. I am intrigued that she's talking about both sound elements of Goldfrapp being represented....
It's a re-creation Again I live another life My imagination Can't cross the borderline
My voice has definitely changed! It’s dropped! I’ve always had quite a big vocal range, but for instance, the operatic note that I hit at the beginning of ‘Utopia’, which is on my first album – I just can’t sing that operatic bit anymore unfortunately.
Oh, my God. Her upper register is stunning and to be unable to sing all of Utopia anymore must be a real heartache for her.
The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ. Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit. Shall lure it back to cancal half a line, Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it.
I don't get the impression she's broken up about it. She seems quite zen about things these days -- was it the first interview in which she was asked what her look would be for the new album/videos and she said something about looking like a 50-something woman and being very proud of that? Pretty sure she hasn't been singing the opening of Utopia for a while now, too, right?
Anyway, something feels missing from the video for me... I think it's the lack of Alison in the latter half. It would have been more interesting to me if she were a little more involved in the action. I feel like we're missing a.. point of view? I mean, who are these women other than interesting looking models and dancers posing in the desert?
I had a king in a tenement castle, lately he's taken to painting the pastel walls brown. He's taken the curtains down. He's swept with the broom of contempt, and the rooms have an empty ring. He's cleaned with the tears of an actor who fears for the laughter's sting...
