addendum

Embarassing confessions aside, I did a quick little bit of research into the video's director Sophie Muller and found that not only had she directed another Dixie Chicks video I love for it's creepy victorianesque (if not the song), but also this, another favorite of mine from Maroon 5 and this one from Faith Hill, which I used to watch over and over and had an inkling might be the same director, similar style. Also this and a bunch of other videos I remember being better than average . I can only say all of these videos had something about them that made me want to watch them again and again, a certain cinematic feel, almost haunting, whatever the genre of music.
