Did anyone else notice that Alison has her hand bent all funny through out this video? I'm not sure if she is holding on to something or what, but especially when she is running out in front of the car and trolley. It's weird. Someone else let me know if you see it also, or if it's just me.

Funny how we are such huge fans that we notice the little things, huh?! lol |

So I have an idea of what the video is all about. You notice how there are all sorts of balloons on the walls and a bunch of empty bottles and glasses all over, and there's even a guy sweeping stuff up. So it's like there was a huge party and some of the people decided to hook up at the party, whom we get to see making out. Well how about Alison is a little too wasted to maybe drive herself home so she starts walking. Then gets maybe lost or too tired and decides to use public transport. But in her slightly cloudy mind sort of walks in front of a car and then just gets about gets smooshed by the street car which may or may not be named "Desire." And she finish her night of partying by not drinking and driving. Way to go. Just my thoughts. Hey Jen this is for you especially  I had a different impression of the video Lindsey, though I liked your interpretation. Based on the song lyrics and the visual, I thought Alison was on the road with her band and was missinig someone she left at home. She is aware of the couples who are at the party they are performing for and they are making her miss her own loved-one even more. To clear her head she goes for a walk, wandering aimlessly on the streets. Lost in her own thoughts, she runs in front of the car. Then she steps in front of the street car to cross the street, changes her mind and hops on for a ride, ever thinking of the loved one back home.  Perhaps you were trying to make another point with your interpretation but I took it literally and it made me think of my own impressions. What are other people's feelings about the video? Did anyone else notice that Alison has her hand bent all funny through out this video? I'm not sure if she is holding on to something or what, but especially when she is running out in front of the car and trolley. It's weird. Someone else let me know if you see it also, or if it's just me. Candi I think her hands being bent and stretched that way allow her to play her fiddle so well. They look totally flexible and perhaps have become more bent and stretched from years of playing. Just my guess but as Kimberly pointed out, they are always that way. |

My interpretation was a lot like yours Fogcitygal. That was almost exactly what I first thought when I saw it...
As for her hands, after watching it for like the 300th time. I think her hands almost look like she has arthritis or something, but what I really think it is, is that her feet hurt so bad from those heels that the only thing that she can do is to scrunch up her hand, instead of scrunching up her face! LOL

Most people probably know this already, but I don't usually watch CMT. Anyway, "Restless" is #2 on the CMT countdown this week.

I agree with the interpretation of missing a loved one because the song talks of how they're apart and she's wanting a phone call and all that so she tries to get away from the all the happy love. I don't know why, but it seems to me that when she steps in front of the car she's actually spotted something across the street that she's trying to get to really fast and so she forgets to look both ways and nearly regrets that lapse in judgement. I guess I assumed the trolly was what she was running toward and maybe she was going to see her loved one because she looks really content riding off into the horizon. But ITA that she's just beautiful in the video and that dress is killer. I love all the flow-y dresses that she wears because that's the kind of thing I like to wear, too. Makes me feel perty  . Anyhoo, one last thought about her hands...I think that she probably has a hard time knowing what to do with them when she doesn't have a bow and fiddle in them. I perform to live audiences and I always insist on holding the mic because otherwise I hold my hands and look like a goober in all the pics that are taken. I don't know why you become so aware of what your hands are doing when you're in front of a crowd. Or maybe other people aren't like that...hmmmm. But I think it would be similar to a smoker trying to quit and having restless hand syndrome. She probably has to consciously make a decision on what to do with her hands to keep them still or she just feels lost with something in them. I dunno...jmo. Stacy |

It finally happened...#1 From www.shorefire.com/March 14, 2005 VIDEO FOR HIT SINGLE "RESTLESS" REACHES #1 ON CMT'S TOP 20 COUNTDOWN The video for "Restless," the first single from Alison Krauss and Union Station's RIAA Gold hit album 'Lonely Runs Both Ways' (Rounder Records) has landed at number one on CMT's Top 20 countdown after a brisk 6-4-2-1 march to the top. Meanwhile, momentum continues for "Restless" at radio , which moves to #37 with a bullet on Billboard's Country Singles Chart this week. In all, Krauss has enjoyed 5 CMT Top 20 number one videos during her career, both with Union Station and as a solo artist. The "Restless" video, filmed in New Orleans, features Alison Krauss and Union Station performing in the gloom of a deserted mansion, amidst the early morning detritus of a party. Krauss leaves the mansion alone and "restless" and heads out through the streets of a southern gothic scene to catch a late night streetcar home. The video was directed by Rocky Schenck, who has helmed 4 other Krauss videos over the last five years. Alison Krauss and Union Station featuring Jerry Douglas are in the midst of an SRO tour, their biggest, most extensive to date. In the next issue of Pro Sound News, the sound/production industry trade, the tour has qualified as a top ten grossing tour in the magazine's "Centerstage" section. |
