Should Carrie do a retro video?

I REALLY think she should. By this I mean set back in the 1940s or such... where she gets to wear the old school clothing and act out a story in the video

I think there are several songs she could do this with: Just A Dream, Get Out Of This Town, The Night Before Life Goes On.... all have classic themes that would be perfect for a throwback video. I would love to see Carrie dressed like Rose from Titanic (or like the girls in Pearl Harbor) lol. She would look great and it would be like a mini-movie for the fans.

that would be awesome

indeed. JAD and GOOT would def work with this theme!
Carrie would look amazing.
i loved the video of Leann Rimes Nothing better to do, thats also retro right?

And yes she should

Yes, a World War II video for JAD would be great! Then nobody can interpret JAD to be a get out of Iraq song/video.

I was thinking along the same lines for JAD. I can imagine being set back in WWII.

JAD would be awesome set back in WW2!!!

it would make a stunning video.

i agree with all of you ... JAD+WW2+CARRIE=AWESOMENESS

That would be really cool and unique for her...

pklongbeach · 05-10-2008, 08:20 AM

Well, I guess it would be pretty cool.
I don't know what kind of mass appeal it would have.
But, I would love to see her that way.
I'm not usually to impressed with "period" pieces.
But you are probably right about JAD working in that way.
It might be just what it needs to avoid any current back lash.

On GAC Nights Carrie said that she saw JAD as set more during the Vietnam War. I think retro video set in that time could well too. I don't really see JAD as a anti-war song but a song about loss and wondering what could have been. I have seen several anti-war videos on YouTube that use JAD as background music.

Great idea for JAD! Maybe you should post this on the OFC, she might pick up this idea!

ProudBrit · 05-10-2008, 10:03 AM

It doesn't have to be WW2. It could be set to any war, WW1, Korea, Vietnam, the 1st Iraq war.

One of JAD strong points it is timeless. It also depicts the grieving process very well. That is why so many can relate to this song. I do hope she gives another producer/director a chance to do this video.
