With Every Stokey Heartbeat

Perfect song. Perfect video.

Bonus points for the singer reminding me of a certain LJ friend.

I'm sorry, but she looks WELL rough, Like a bleached Lisa Stansfield. As in "Been around the world and I I I, forgot my moisturiser".

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

She's got something pixie-ish about her, or maybe tomboyish? It's quite endearing.

[naturalbornkaos.livejournal.com]

The only thing pixie-ish about her is her haircut. She looks like a bricklayer.

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

You guys are too rought and mean!

[woodsrule.livejournal.com]

I agree!! She actually looks like she means what she's singing which is to be applauded in my book, even if the lyrics are a tad empty. The close-up shots remind me a bit of 'Nothing Compares to You' - tho not much can compare to that song and vid...

I'm so glad that not all of our popstars are totally airbrushed into plastic. Long live real unmoisturised faces on screen!!

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

Hail hail!

The video also reminds me of A-ha's "Take on Me", where the singer is in a comic book (as opposed to a plasticine world, like this one) and comes to a dire end. And I believe she's Scandinavian as well, so it's very fitting.

wew ruff, hey?

[annakey.livejournal.com]

LOL

You little toerag!

It's the outfit that does it. Someone told me I look like Roxette the other day. (All of them?)

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

Well, it's your latest hairstyle that reminded me of Robyn (or vice versa?) I love that style on women - it's not something anyone can pull!

[moral-vacuum.livejournal.com]

If the icon and video are anything to go by, Annakey looks about 15 years younger!

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

She probably is. Robyn was cracking out the hits way back in the 90s.

[annakey.livejournal.com]

I was doing the rounds in the 90s.

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

You clearly didn't do as many rounds as Robyn.

[annakey.livejournal.com]

Haha

Bet my breast is redder.

[annakey.livejournal.com]

Thank you for your kind words there.

[annakey.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure about it myself. Don't you think it looks better spiked up a bit? (Ignore the man with the oblong mouth.)

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

Hmmmm... I guess I like both? Maybe choose according to place, situation and mood? Or is it not possible with the cut right now?

[annakey.livejournal.com]

It is a versatile cut, I just haven't got the time to faff about with it these days. This is a very girly conversation we're having.

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

Girly conversations are a breath of fresh air around here. :-)

[desayuno-ingles.livejournal.com]

I'll weigh in here - I strongly dislike the slicked-down bangs, spiked-up-in-the-back look. It's just one "humble" opinion, though.

[annakey.livejournal.com]

I'm a special case - I have to have bangs (I call it a fringe) because I have a spastic forehead and without it I'd look like Max Headroom, and my hair spikes up by itself no matter what I do!

[desayuno-ingles.livejournal.com]

LOL! Well, ok, then you're stuck with it. *grin*

[frankeecymraeg.livejournal.com]

that song reminds me of london...major

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

In years to come, it will remind me too.

[frankeecymraeg.livejournal.com]

i still can't believe you plan on moving to my end of the world right before I move to yours

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

It's been my goal in life for the past six years. I just can't give it up like that!

[frankeecymraeg.livejournal.com]

:'( :'( :'( You're going to make me hafta fly all the way to Canada to go for coffee.

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

I'm sure there will be plenty of times when I visit London and can go for coffee here. :-)

[frankeecymraeg.livejournal.com]

WHAT IF I WANT TO GO TO CANADA?! HUH?! WHAT THEN?! JEEZ

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

They might not let you in because you are American. :-)

[frankeecymraeg.livejournal.com]

eww. frak you! I can get in with my freaking birth certificate. Unless they changed it recently.

[desayuno-ingles.livejournal.com]

dude, that's robyn? I want at least one pair of those shoes she's wearing. totally awesome.

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

Yup, those shoes would look awesome on you.

[desayuno-ingles.livejournal.com]

I know! I wonder how one goes about finding if one can find even something approximating them.

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

Well, start out by findind what she wore for that video shoot! Then track down stores in New York that sell it. :-)

[desayuno-ingles.livejournal.com]

yeah, yeah, I suppose you're right.

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

There must be a Robyn fan website out there, with all the details.

[desayuno-ingles.livejournal.com]

Bleh, i'd actually have to look stuff up! Actually, shou'dnt take much work, I'll try to remember to look it up tomorrow.

[sparkx.livejournal.com]

Love this song and video :oD

[gorecky22.livejournal.com]

I like the sad look of Robyn on that video: she makes you feel that it's a sad song... but if you listen to it on a club, you can't avoid dancing and dancing and dancing!!

Love that video!! :D

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

In the absence of a club, I dance to it in my living room. ;-)
