Our penultimate video of the month is called "Like a Feather." Not a very good sequel to Madonna's song. It's sung by Nikka Costa, who I don't trust thanks to most of the letters in her first name. It's four minutes long.
Hmmm, I wasn't expecting any music videos with women shaking their butts towards the camera, but I guess we couldn't escape the month without doing one. Costa dances with her microphone stand while she wears a scarf/vest thing that's just plain ridiculous. Behind her is a screen that flashes various patterns and her name. The video will divide into several screens from time to time. Nikka has long, red, curly hair while the lights and her clothes are different types of blues and reds.
She starts singing about coming out of a wishing well because she found it too lonely. She's been leading some kind of resistance, but now she's going to sit back and let all the pieces fall into place. Hopefully I'm not making a mistake by taking the lyrics literally.
The refrain starts and it reinforces the idea of her passiveness. She's just going to let it, whatever it is, be set free like a feather and go from there.
Nikka has an interesting voice. It sounds unique even though I'm very ignorant about these kinds of things.
Second verse seems to reinforce the first verse, as she sings about giving up waiting for the sky to fall and she's putting her feet up. She's so calm that she's on stage shaking it.
When she finishes singing the refrain again, she actually starts straddling the microphone stand. Lucky microphone stand. The song ends with Costa singing about pulling back some metaphorical blinds.
Nice song. As for the video, although I'm not a fan of red heads or the first four letters of this woman's name, I do approve of women with noticeably wide hips. I give it a thumbs up.
One video to go!
