"Beauty Queen/Horses"

After my last Tori cover, I had a request from someone on YouTube to take a crack at this song.

The "Beauty Queen" portion of this one is about someone who is oblivious to their own beauty, inner and outer. The self confidence of this gal is at an all-time low. She's got some serious demons to face and to go into that darkness she hops onto the "Horses" that take her into that black night.

The brilliant thing about Tori Amos's composition of the song is that you can actually hear the hoof steps in the keys that leads to this rhythmic galloping. The music here really tells the story, not just the lyrics. And when you inhabit that character and walk into the song, it's like you can actually ride on it. It takes you, you don't take it.

The camera went in and out of focus at certain moments and oddly enough it's at all the right moments, like someone was directing it or something. It adds to it. There's also a misty look that wasn't my intention, like riding through the fog.

P.S.: First time on camera without lighting or makeup. lol... I told you things are changing!
