Beautiful. Sad. Story. Katy Perry.

The One That Got Away

Sex in the air

I don’t care 

I love the smell of it

God I hate that line, but this song still hurts so good.  Here’s Rihanna’s latest video for her new single S&M.  I really wish Perez Stinkteron didn’t make a cameo, however, seeing him being treated like the dog that he is bound to put a smile on anyone’s face.

Official video for Lykke Li’s second single, I Follow Rivers, from her upcoming sophomore release Wounded Rhymes.

Message from Lykke Li:

I Follow Rivers video is directed by Tarik Saleh, starring Lykke Li and Swedish Lebanese actor Fares Fares.

Following the footsteps of Andrei Tarkovsky’s The Sacrifice
it is shot on the magic island of Gotland, Närsholmen to be specific.

A place like no other, a love like no other.
A love like a drug, she loves like the river, a love caught on fire, fueled by desire.
Where you running, who you running from?
A love story with no end and no beginning.

That’s some intense love connection, to be running without shoes in the freezing snow!

Visually, quite a powerful new video from Pink, Fuckin’ Perfect.

UPDATE

Read this personal message from P!nk about her latest creation below:

I’m sure my newest video for “F**kin’ Perfect” will be much like some of my other videos, which basically means I expect it will ruffle some feathers.

My favorite books, art pieces, films, and music, always have something jarring about them. I want art to make me think. In order to do that, it may piss me off, or make me uncomfortable. That promotes awareness and change, or at least some discussion.
That is my intention. 
You can’t move mountains by whispering at them.

Cutting, and suicide, two very different symptoms of the same problem, are gaining on us. (the problem being; alienation and depression. the symptoms; cutting and suicide). I personally don’t know a single person who doesn’t know at least two of these victims personally. A lot of us have seen certain starlets showing off their latest scars on a red carpet somewhere, usually right before they head back to their favorite rehab.

Its a problem, and its something we should talk about. We can choose to ignore the problem, and therefore ignore this video, but that won’t make it go away. 
I don’t support or encourage suicide or cutting. 
I support the kids out there that feel so desperate/numb/powerless, that feel unseen and unheard, and can’t see another way.. I want them to know I’m aware. I have been there. I see them. Sometimes that’s all it takes.

Making this video was a very emotional experience for me, as was writing this song. I have a life inside of me, and I want her or him to know that I will accept him or her with open and loving and welcoming arms. And though I will prepare this little munchkin for a sometimes cruel world, I will also equip this kid to see all the beauty in it as well. There are good people in this world that are open-minded, and loving. There are those that accept us with all of our flaws. I do that with my fans/friends, and I will do that with my child, whoever they decide to be.
