The Sensual Video!

[Mark Anderson <manderso@ugly.cs.ubc.ca>]

The video for _The_Sensual_World_ was played this afternoon on "YTV Rocks",
a half-hour video station on Canada's YTV!  All I can say is it's one
beautiful video.  Has it been seen in the States yet?

In it, Kate's wearing a long dark velvet dress and a hat with a veil wrapped
around her chin and flowing back over her hair.  She's dancing down a path
through the woods.  At first, the light is warm and soft, like sunlight
filtering through the trees overhead.  Later it becomes a deep orange from
the large red sun, now setting.

Then Kate removes her hat as big flames leap up in the background, just
beyond the trees.  She dances a strange dance with the fire spreading
across the horizon under the setting sun.  Then it becomes night, dark
but with stars and a big bright full moon.  Finally, as the song winds up,
it becomes light again, as at the start of the song.

There's a lot of fluff floating through the air at times--down?  With petals
perhaps?  And in the night scene, what seems to be hail rains down on Kate at
one point, and there's some swirling ... snow?

Wonderful.
