Respeito (Respect): Her Morning Elegance - Oren Lavie

Frame by Frame this video was placed together... beautiful!

Who said cool, innovative videos didn't exist any longer?  My best buddy Ryan showed me this video and I was actually in awe.  I heard the DYLAN video has been out for a while now (a year even garnering a nomination at the Grammy's for Best Short Form Music Video), but last night was the first time I saw it.  Of course I had to share it with my blog readers because this is your one-stop place for everything DYLAN!! Call me belated but this is definitely something worth seeing!!

Her Morning Elegance has become a pop-art phenomena and the most successful stop motion video ever.
It earned a nomination in the 52nd Grammy Awards and has been screened at film festivals around the world. The video was created from 2096 still photographs that were shot and sequenced to create the sense of movement.

The lyrics of the song are quite simple but the message is definitely presented in the very cool music video which serves as nothing share of attention gripping.  A bed serves as the setting for an entire journey through life and a relationship.  Carefully placed pillows and socks serve as not on rocks, but also clouds and fishes respectively.  



Her Morning Elegance Lyrics

Sun been down for days
A pretty flower in a vase
A slipper by the fireplace
A cello lying in it's case

Soon she's down the stairs
Her morning elegance she wears
The sound of water makes her dream
Awoken by a cloud of steam
She pours a daydream in a cup
A spoon of sugar sweetens up

And She fights for her life
As she puts on her coat
And she fights for her life on the train
She looks at the rain
As it pours
And she fights for her life
As she goes in a store
With a thought she has caught
By a thread
She pays for the bread
And She goes...
Nobody knows

Sun been down for days
A winter melody she plays
The thunder makes her contemplate
She hears a noise behind the gate
Perhaps a letter with a dove
Perhaps a stranger she could love

And She fights for her life
As she puts on her coat
And she fights for her life on the train
She looks at the rain
As it pours
And she fights for her life
As she goes in a store
With a thought she has caught
By a thread
She pays for the bread
And She goes...
Nobody knows

And She fights for her life
As she puts on her coat
And she fights for her life on the train
She looks at the rain
As it pours
And she fights for her life
Where people are pleasently strange
And counting the change
And She goes...
Nobody knows
