Working on a much longer post for you with all things deep and wide and Chappell Roan - and digging through the comments and DMs from yesterday, thank you but first:

If you ever wondered where the REALLY strange concepts for music videos come from, sometimes they come from nightdreams and daydreams that get the opportunity to actually get written down over coffee. This one came to me in a long daydream yesterday. It’s so weird. And beautiful. I love that I get to do this as a paying job. Write down my crazy daydreams for music videos.

More than 95% of them don’t get made by my god I hope this one does, because I practically wept while writing out all 6 pages of the treatment.

BTW:

One of the things the Dolls may do this forthcoming season is make some music videos for songs that never got them. Feel free to send your requests and fantasy video directors. We already have some very very juicy ideas and partners lined up.

My brain expands to contain all

My son's girlfriend is a film and media major and Interned with a big wig music video director this summer. Her job was to basically give storyboard ideas for different artist videos. She's really good at it and probably not coincidentally is a very vivid dreamer!

Adrienne Danielle

New music videos would be so exciting!😭 I still regularly think about the Night Reconnaissance video. That was my favorite back in the day!

Morning Amanda, I can probably lend you some dream imagery, though it might stretch the budget with all the crazy dreams I have

I feel like every time I try to comment I think of a different song!! Please release videos of what YOU guys want to do!! We will literally eat any of it up ❤️

Bad Habit (top pick) like Runs in the Family manic depressive vibes mixed with Night Reconnaissance speed run fun vibes, if that makes any sense. Bank of Boston Beauty Queen, MAF, 1.1.94, Provanity, The Time has Come... to name a few... I'd be ecstatic with whatever yours and Brian's brains birth, wish I was in the USA as I am also very good at looking sad and or aloof. Get the patrons involved as there are some incredibly creative peeps where you are!!

Mandy Goes to Med School, Delilah, Bad Habits and Glass Slipper 🥹🙏🏼 So exciting, can't wait to see what you do - no matter what it is!

Fuck yes! I love the fun and play of things like this. When art becomes business it can be so easy to lose the play. But art is play at its core. It's curiosity and experiment and risk and mistake and expression. The idea of going back and making videos for songs preciously released is an excellent idea. To me it challenges the idea that we, as artists, must always be moving forward. Next. Next. Next. Art is not linear. Expression and curiosity is not linear. Thabk you for Reminding me that my worth as an artist is not tied up in making brand new songs or brand new poems, but in the act of exploration and play itself.

I was at a Dresden Dolls secret show a couple of weeks ago with my friends, and I remember there was this one song that was performed in German about a maid in a hotel that was fantasizing about being rescued by pirates after she unalived all of the asshole guests While listening I visualized this scene playing out where she is interacting with one of the guests who insults her, and it just triggers her to go a rampage, slaughtering people left and right as she sings The intensity of crazier and crazier things culminating in the background until the pirates show up and take her away, and it snaps back to reality...and then she starts going off on people for real Picture the real parts in sepia and the fantasy with heightened hues and colors, portraying the contrasting states in her world. I could see Hoku Uchiyama at the helm for this vision!

Dig the video concept, I can already see hauntingly beautiful spectral seahorse visuals and it gave me a shiver. It would be a lot of fun to work on something moody and macabre with Hoku again! I already let Adam and Robert know too so we can bring some more art to life together, so thrilled you came to the show with us. 🫀

Can’t wait to see which songs you dolls decide to make a video for. So many important ones. It’s hard to decide. Maybe even a double feature type video.

For innovative and amazing music videos I can recommend this guy: https://kentwillard.com/ Compete and total conflict of interest because he’s my little brother and I’m so proud of him
