Special Effects: Grab That (Michelle) Branch

Posted by Steve Haruch on Wed, Jan 28, 2009 at 2:15 PM

So, there's a preview of the new Michelle Branch song, "This Way," making the rounds right now. The video clip shows her on a desert road, tying her shoes and singing. No big deal. Occasionally, bits of song lyrics appear and flit around the screen. Pretty standard instant-meaningfulness technique. But when Branch gets to the line, "I know how long you've been holdin' on," the word "HOLD" magically appears--on top of her breasts. Right on top of 'em. I've tried to rationalize this, like, "Oh, it's a metaphorical thing, you know, holding onto her heart or what have you." But no. The message is clear: "HOLD. BOOBS."

Weird!

Does this song sound good enough to buy her a house off Belle Meade boulevard? I wouldn't have thought so. But she did. No wonder people want to be rock stars.
