Foolish Games: Two Versions
In honor of Brian week, two Brian vids made for me... yes, I said for me... in response to a bunny I posted a year and a half ago.

I was listening to a recording of Jewel and Melissa Etheridge singing a duet of Jewel's song "Foolish Games" and it struck me how very, very much the lyrics were Brian.

You took your coat off and stood in the rain,
You're always crazy like that.
And I watched from my window,
Always felt I was outside looking in on you.
You're always the mysterious one with
Dark eyes and careless hair,
You were fashionably sensitive
But too cool to care.
You stood in my doorway, with nothing to say
Besides some comment on the weather.

Well in case you failed to notice,
In case you failed to see,
This is my heart bleeding before you,
This is me down on my knees, and...

These foolish games are tearing me apart,
And your thoughtless words are breaking my heart.
You're breaking my heart.
You're always brilliant in the morning,
Smoking your cigarettes and talking over coffee.
Your philosophies on art, Baroque moved you.
You loved Mozart and you'd speak of your loved ones
As I clumsily strummed my guitar.

You'd teach me of honest things
Things that were daring, things that were clean
Things that knew what an honest dollar did mean
So I hid my soiled hands behind my back
Somewhere along the line I must've gone off track with you

Well, excuse me, guess I've mistaken you for somebody else,
Somebody who gave a damn,
Somebody more like myself.

You took your coat off,
Stood in the rain,
You're always crazy like that.

Download duet version of song here.

So, I went and begged for a Brian vid to this song, and not one but TWO kind fangirls, qaffangyrl and LJ's admiratio, answered my pleas! I am the luckiest girl in the world, seriously. qaffangyrl used the duet, while admiratio used the original version by Jewel.

There are several links on admiratio's post to download the video. If none of them work, use the one she gives to my website, but please right click and save. You can find the post with the links, and leave love for the vidder, here.

The qaffangyrl version is here, and of course, don't forget to feed the muses with your love!
