outTunes: Scottie Gage, "Waterslide"

Waterslide

The singer's voice has a nice tone, it was a cute pop song (I'm not familiar with him so it's my first time hearing him sing)

The boys in the video were cute.

But the video itself was really anxiety producing.

Has cute bangs boy gone forever? Did he just go out to get some air? WTF?

Why are they always fighting on the bridge? Is it like their romantic spot? If so, fight somewhere else.  

I think I need some closure...

I might have the closure you're looking for

Hey darcolover55, 

Thanks for commenting on Waterslide, I really appreciate the feedback! Hopefully I can help answer some questions you have about the vid.

The song is basically about a relationship that keeps going sour, no matter how many times these guys get back together and swear that it will be different. I've definitely been there.... 

Cut bangs boy (aka Mark Turner) may or may not be gone forever, my director and I decided to leave that up to the audience to decide for themselves. 

We wanted to make the Brooklyn bridge a central location for the two characters. It's a definite romantic spot but is also a battleground for us. In the storyline, I go out looking for Mark the day after our fight hoping he might be waiting for me on the bridge, just like the movies right? When he doesn't show up I'm pretty much left alone again, wondering if he'll come back to me.  

Hope this helps, definitely drop me a line if you have any other questions. Thanks again for watching the vid and be sure to check out my EP on iTunes!!

You Are So Sweet

I loved the song thanks so much for writing back to me. The tone of your voice is just lovely.

I was totally serious about the video. As the viewer, I really wanted the couple to not fight.

It really draws you in to the drama and I SOOOO know that "Heterosexuality is not normal, it's just common."

Very effective. I was right there with you on the bridge going "Work It Out Boys"

What's funny is I had one of the worst breakups I've ever had and one of the most romantic moment's I've ever had on the F Train between Smith & 9th and 7th Avenue.

Good luck sugar. You are very talented. I look forward to hearing more.
