I wanna know why you wanna throw me away

The basic premise of Enrique's latest single and music video seems to be Enrique going "Leona, you think you've got a monopoly on epic sounding production? And OneRepublic, you think you're the only ones who can make epic ridiculous videos about death? Hah! I prove you wrong!"

For him, the video's a chance to gently emote, sing while dying (haven't you already been dying on the ground next to a car in a video before, Enrique? Make sure you've seen that video before watching the bottom video in this post, by the way), and stand among fields of grain.



For the rest of us, it's an opportunity to go "Ooo, look how pretty Enrique is."

(For all my joking and talking about how "Takin' Back My Love" is more exciting, I really do like "Away.")

If that was a bit serious for you, you can watch the canceled original version of Enrique's video for "Don't Turn Off The Lights." Apparently he was given some free rein to make it, came back with this, and the label, upon seeing it for the first time, freaked out and ditched it, instead releasing a significantly less interesting less video. You want proof that Enrique doesn't take himself seriously? You got it. In fact, you want proof Enrique is probably crazy? Ditto.
