Get Along With You - Music Video

Music Video

The video, directed by Paul Hunter, begins with Kelis, who is in an all-black, gothic-like attire, standing in place. She proceeds to open her laced jacket to reveal a new "world" within herself. (which in contrast is supposed to be her opening her self and showing her true feelings) This "new world" shows Kelis standing in an empty street. She sings the first verse while flying around in the dark and gloomy city, with an orange gas appearing from her mouth every time she speaks (in essences is supposed to be truth and life which is breathed into her environment". She then flies to a flower shop and looks inside where she sees dead flowers that quickly come back to life. After coming out of a well, Kelis walks in a heavily wooded area, filled with trees. She then stands upon a giant telescope. Kelis then wanders aimlessly to a beach and sits holding a parasol singing. The camera pans to Kelis' feet and she is shown flying over the ocean of which she was previously viewing with dolphins swimming beneath her. After entering another iron gate, Kelis is shown as a doll and begins to disassemble herself symbolizing that she needs nothing at all but that person. A light begins to emit from her dismembered, clay body; the light begins to shine very brightly, illuminating the seas and the city within herself. In closing of the song the camera pans out and Kelis closes the open "window" to her inner self.

Famous quotes containing the words music and/or video:

    Nothing is capable of being well set to music that is not nonsense.
    Joseph Addison (1672–1719)

    It is among the ranks of school-age children, those six- to twelve-year-olds who once avidly filled their free moments with childhood play, that the greatest change is evident. In the place of traditional, sometimes ancient childhood games that were still popular a generation ago, in the place of fantasy and make- believe play . . . today’s children have substituted television viewing and, most recently, video games.
    Marie Winn (20th century)
