You held your part

Lori Glory is nice, in fact all the "This Is" videos are very nice and I really enjoy this great DVD each time I watch it.
I believe in your smile everyday
But I know that you're far from my way
When I talk to the moon I can hear you
In the dark I can see, I can feel your light

I also adore almost all videos made for This Is. I watch the dvd regularly. I really like the video for Everyone Else In The World and So Lee. Those are my two favourites. The video for This Time John is also quite special. It really catches the atmosphere of the song.

Where can find I the video for "This Time John"? I can't find it anywhere. On the stinanordenstam.net website it dosen't have a link.

Keep checking Youtube.That's where I found it,although it's since been taken down.Bound to reappear.Mind you,the violence is a bit graphic for sensitive souls like me. :shock:

My favourite Stina videos are the other ones that she made herself-'Dynamite' and especially 'Glomd' by Koop,which is Bergmanesque.I also think the 'To the sea' video is great.

By the way,combing through the CQD files or somewhere,I'm sure there's a mention of a video made for 'Memories of a colour'... :O

I rather like the video for Sharon And Hope, really sweet. My ultimate favourite has to be Welcome To Happiness, god I love her little dance through the traffic :-)
I dreamed of 747's, over geometric farms...

Daniel,I think its my favourite video too. :)
I love the way Stina dances beneath the bridge,especially the way she appears to momentarily hesitate,changes her mind and moves off in a different direction.She looks totally natural and the movement improvised but I suppose it was all carefully rehearsed. :lol:

I also love 'Sharon and Hope' video ....if only because of Stina's beautiful eyes.
Its also a cracking song.

'Circus' (my all time favourite Stina song) is fascinating to watch despite its simplicity.Maybe a tad too unflattering for Stina maybe?
It was certainly left off the dvd (visually) for some reason.

'Everyone Else In The World' is an excellent 'storytelling' film and stands up easily to repeated viewings.
But as with previous posts have observed,the whole of the 'This Is Stina Nordenstam' dvd is very entertaining to watch. Such a shame that it was never commercially available. :(

Away from the 'This Is' set, I also like 'Get On With Your Life'.
As with the 'Little Star' video,Stina appears enigmatically childlike.

Carrying on from the recent topic about a 'best of' collection,a combined cd/dvd set would be most welcome in the shops. :)

From her little dance in WTH, I'd say Stina must have had ballet training at some point. She does look completely natural and spontaneous, not rehearsed, which is usually a sign of youthful training.

I think my favourite is 'Get On With Your Life', actually, but I have a soft spot for 'Everyone Else In The World' for personal reasons.

I still love Little Star, but Get on with your Life is great too, with Stina dancing, wearing great clothes and boots and the atmosphere of the old house and such :D
