Its a song about being true to oneself. And I respect someone for actually putting a song out with great lyrics! Also the tune is GREAT! I thought she was a wanna-be at first, but soon realized she wasn't and I now have newfound respect for this soulfull artist! Video was a smart move for a first single! TO BAD it wasn't released here to buy! I suggest purchasing "Accoustic Soul" if you like this song!

India.Arie is one of the most talented artist to come out of the last decade. The 2001 classic 'Video' was a lyrically brillant track. It was empowering, geniune, authentic, real w/ a positive message. The copy I have is a U.S. release. Although stated above that there was no U.S. single there was a promotional single released. It contains the following tracks or rather versions of the single 'Video': 1. Main Version, 2. Instrumental, 3, Acappella and 4. Call Out Hook. If you can find the version I have or even the Import of the track its well worth the money.

This song sounds just as refreshing, today, as it did a couple of years ago (when it was initially released). The great power in India. Arie's music is her great combination of wit and wisdom. "Video" is a stirringly beautiful piece, riding on the strength of the guitar arrangement, alone. India combines sounds that are reminiscent of Ritchie Havens (a great, great singer/songwriter/performer from the 1960s, a Woodstock veteran), as well as more neo-soul sounds (some of which could be rooted in the inspirations of Donnie Hathaway, Stevie Wonder and others). As far as the lyrics go, they are comparable to none ("Sometimes I shave my legs and sometimes I don't/Sometimes I comb my hair and sometimes I won't/Depending on how the wind blows, I might even paint my toes"). Though, these sound like observations, all in all, this piece is rooted in the philosophy of affirming one's individuality and inner beauty as a woman. Every woman needs to listen to this song. India is a poet and storyteller. Truly beautiful......
