Single : Bless Me ft. Stephanie Feirce
Artist : Yasmine
Genre : Indie Rock , Indie Folk
Director : Yasmine Kiambang , Airemese Smith
Bless Me's video starts off with a shot of a female actor as the music begins immediately . She is faced to the side and she slowly looks over her shoulder and into the camera , almost as if she is ashamed of something . This happens as the bass guitar plays as the intro of the song . It gives off a certain feeling about the video and you almost know off the back what the video is going to be about if you know the true meaning of the song . The scene then cuts offs when the intro ends .
Once the first verse comes on , the video then switches to a dramatic animation . In this scene , the camera is slowly zooming into what looks like a fire . This takes some time , but when it is finally done zooming , it appears that in the middle of the fire is a girl who is curled up in a ball , sobbing . It becomes apparent that she is the fire , possibly symbolizing her being a total wreck .
On my knees again , crawling back from him
Just like they swore I would , just like you said I would
Only took a dose ; a drop of poison
Then I ... craved for more
When the short hook comes on , on the screen now is the girl from the beginning of the video shedding tears . The scene is just a close up on her eyes . Though it is simple melodramatic scene , it still has some meaning behind it . The close up of the eyes are somewhat playing the role of watching the animation . That's why the girl is shedding tears , but not full on crying . Because once again , she is ashamed .
Bless Me, Bless Me
Oh oh, oh oh
Bless Me, Bless Me
Oh oh, oh oh
The hook ends and the video goes back to the animation as the second verse comes on and continues on to the hook . The video once again goes hand in hand with the lyrics as in the scene you see multiple times that 2 guys have reached for the girl all clustered in one shot . They represent the good guy and the bad guy who she is torn between . After awhile there are so many in one shot that all you see is the girl surrounded by a lot of hands trying to grab on her . At first they all just tug at her and she is pulled from side to side but then the hands begin to tug more violently . After a while , she is finally pulled to the bad guy's side . She was pulled so hard that she fell right on the ground when the good guy let go of her . At that moment the ground became a deep hole and she fell through it and she lands on a bed , naked , while everything is now not animated as the hook finishes playing for the second time .
Now I'm his ... penagih
Set to the highest level of pethaticity
So though I'm here on all fours
I'll be at his door
Bless Me, Bless Me
Oh oh, oh oh
Bless Me, Bless Me
Oh oh, oh oh
Just when the second verse and hook is over , the scene with the naked girl on top of the bed quickly changes into a black and white sex scene as the third verse to the song plays . There is no nudity in this scene and there is no overtly sexual movements between the man and the woman , but simple things like scratching , kissing and caressing gives you a pretty good idea of what might be going on .
I must think you're a fool
This crosses all of your rules
But just look in my eyes
See the pity inside
All those times I wept
And all those sinful nights
See if one try helps
Attempt to unblur these lines
Keep the demons out,
Give me mouth to mouth.
And if I let him back in
You can shut me out
After the third verse , the video is now nothing but a black screen as the bridge of the song plays , then once Stephanie Fierce's voice rolls in , a clip of the animation flashes with the girl in the animation , wrapped in dirty blankets , facing a corner , curled up into a ball and sobbing then the song ends , making the video shorter than the actual audio .
( But for now ) Bless me, Bless me, oh.
Bless me, Bless me, oh. (Bless me ...)
Bless me, Bless me, oh. (Me, me, me, me...)
Bless me, Bless me, oh.
I just thought you might ...
