 Title: "Bless Me" Live at 'The Secret Show' Length: 6:31 Directed by: Chris Cunningham Vocalist: Stephanie Fierce Band: The Stephanie Fierce Band Song: "Bless Me" Formats: Television (VH1 Music Videos), Youtube/Vevo (Live Performance) Film Location: Undisclosed Date Premiered: November 13, 2013 Video description: "Stephanie Fierce performs the lead single "Bless Me" off her new album "Amplified". The video opens up with rehearsal footage, Stephanie Fierce is seen penning some notes and adlibs she would do for the performance. This is only seen brifley and the screen immediately fades to black as the audience is heard cheering. The video suddenly opens up with a view of the stage.Stephanie Fierce walks out into the audience with a bottle of water in her hand, she was seen taking a slight sip from it. She's seen wearing a beautiful dress designed by Emilio Pucci, it was a different dress to the one she wore for the performance before. The rain continued to pour down as the loyal fans cheered on not ever leaving her sight. "Hows my band doing?" she throws a thumbs up a way to check . "I told you guys I was gonna make you fucking wet tonight" she breaks into laughter. The drummer mouths "I don't care" and sticks out his tongue. "That's the spirit" she says as she blows a kiss to him. "Ok, he fact that you guys are still standing in the rain with me, I fucking love all of you. I mean I got my make up running down my face, my eyes are burning like a motherfucker but we're all right. The real questions is why do I feel like I just deep-throated this microphone? cause my throat fucking hurts". Stephanie Fierce said jokingly, which was followed with laughter and cheer from the audience. The rain was quieting down, which allowed Stephanie Fierce to make herself a little more comfortable before continuing. The band was preparing and aligning their instruments waiting for Fierce signal to begin. "You know I love it when my voice starts to get a little raspy, especially because I'm about to perform this next song". Stephanie Fierce takes a look at her band smiling, feeling joyous about the concert. She was having such a good time. Whistles are heard from the crowd as some fans cheered on. "This song was inspired by someone very special. I wrote this song sort of like a tribute to her story. I didn't intend for this song to be such a huge record though. Honestly, I didn't. So thank you for blessing me......" the crowd goes into a huge cheer. The soft and ghostly guitar riff that is played on the bass begins with a much higher pitch that way it is suitable and heard in front of the large crowd. It is also rougher than the original. After 20 seconds of the guitar riff being played, the bass player is then joined by the drummer who's seen smashing his two drum sticks together to create the original sound of the record. The main guitar player is seen adding to the sound as Fierce continues to sing. "Love drunk again, overdose accident
no I'm not saint, no I'm not a saint
I think I should be a little more embarrassed,
in myself, in my sins" Closing her eyes; she also keeps her mouth close to the microphone as she sings with passion, her delivery becomes more genuine and beautiful. As she sings"Bless me, Bless me"; the hook, she sings it the section with her soft melancholic voice she uses for her more emotionally driven tracks. Echos of fans in the audience are heard singing along. The smashing of sticks is heard thoroughly throughout the performance. The female guitarist who goes by the name of Bibi is seen on her side and she seems to be in her own zone and Stephanie Fierce continues to sing. "Cause I don't stand a chance in heaven
even the devil don't recognize me anymore
a desperate girl shouldn't be given another night
but I thought you might
Bless Me, Bless Me
Oh oh, oh oh
Bless Me Bless Me
Oh oh, oh oh"
With this section Fierce waned to offer more vulnerability and organic adlibs nut by not over doing it and sticking true to the records emotion. She then walks closer to the audience and she begins o almost throw herself to them, grabbing on to their hands, keeping direct contact to some of them. "The night is growing close
my hands round' my throat
I can't say a word,
and I bet he knows
and I'm hardly wake
Since the night he left.
His body always kept,
Mine inside of it.
keep the demons out,
Give me mouth to mouth.
I can't live without ya,
Take me to your house."Fierce starts looking down as the bridge grows close to add some sort of melodrama to the performance. She then starts doing a moan like sound that as she portrays a seductive face it echoes through the audience. Her adlibs become well constructed and come off as professionally rehearsed and clean cut. A more tribal like sound is also heard from the drummer. The smashing of sticks continues, and Fierce begins to shake her head as she put herself in some of trance as he bridge approaches. The song continues with haunting hum in which Stephanie Fierce's voice is heard as draggish and ghostly. The piano is played in slow strokes that align with each hum. After the hum, the song opens up a new scale of sound that is more of an orchestration essence and all of the musicians begin to take each section of the song to form clashing and climatic close. The outro is repeated as Fierce closes her eyes and harmonizes to it. Her guitarist then comes close to her and they both begin to back bend simultaneously, the lights on the stage begin to spin around to different focal points adding a dramatic essence to the performance. Her guitarists keeps playing and repeating her riff, extending the song, and the audience begins to cheer even louder. The song then comes to an epic end! "Bless me, Bless me, oh.
Bless me, Bless me, oh. (Bless, bless, bless, bless...)
Bless me, Bless me, oh. (Me, me, me, me...)
Bless me, Bless me, oh. (Bless, Bless, Bless...)
But I thought you might...
Bless Me, Bless Me
Oh oh, oh oh
Bless Me Bless Me
Oh oh, oh oh
Ooh Ooh, Oh!" "Thank You" she ended the song softly and humbly. Loud cheers are heard from he audience briefly and the video ends as it fades out to black.
