"More Than That" - What really goes on in that video...

"More Than That"...It cracks me up when...(Best if you watch the video when reading this. The comments go in order..)

• Looks like an oversized bathroom hut.

• And all of them has gotta go.

• Disappointed to find just a huge TV screen with desert backgrounds.

• There goes Brian with his hands.

• Yet again, Bri.

• Yawn, someone (I think Kevin) just woke up. Seeing that they're stretching.

• Oh now it's a garage where they're fixing their car with an oversized TV showing the desert.

• A trailer...stainless steel. Do you think someone lives there? Maybe it's Lou Pearlman. Oh well, it's locked, so they can't even get to the bathroom in there, if there was one.

• Star what?

• Now there's a jukebox. I used to think that it was "Juicebox" or "Jukesbocks".

• And a horse with wings. While Brian looks at it he thinks, "A horse with wings."

• AJ's singing and appearentaly, moving your hands in a forward circle-ish motion means, "come". And slowly raising your arm out and up means, "gone".

• What no, that circle-ish motion now means, "Say".

• No, now it means, "Whatever".

• Nick apperentaly dissaproves of something with all of his heart.

• The rising of the arms now means, "Take".

• No, now it means, "keep".

• One what AJ? And why do you move that one finger toward us. One....man for us? Or are you just...Aw I know what you're trying to make us do! You're trying to make us go all cross-eyed!

• Now they're all walking through the desert trying to find a bush of their own, so they can take care of business.

• I have nothing to say during the first chorus...only that they all seem to really stress the word "Don't" on the line "Don't give lonliness a chance."

• "Baby listen to me when I say"... then there's that decrochendo sort of thingy which AJ emphasizes by doing this dance move thingy by sliding down and forward and moving his arms and hands in a meaningful way in the background.

• Still searching for that right bush.

• Now there's a city on the oversized TV screen.

• "What's the use in holding on" - Then Brian lovingly hugs himself like a teddy bear and AJ is strangely dancing as Howie stands.

• It seems very painful for Nick to sing.

• "Now or Never" - UH OH! NICK HAS FALLEN TO THE GROUND! As AJ throws his arm out on "Never" followed by Howie doing the same thing. Kevin turns his back and Brian makes a fist...what else.

• They've had enough walking, they're taking the cars to find a potty place...a tree? cactus? a tall bush?

• "knowing in the end...That..." - Whoops Nick almost ges to the floor again as AJ is still trying to dance. I think, maybe AJ's playing the air drums...

• LOL...If you pause it right in the middlr of the words "love" and "you" in the line in the seond chorus (I will love you more) Nick's mouth is open to the size and shape of an egg. That's right before he throws both his arms out and points at us and Bri is doing a circle thing with his fists.

• Then they all look like they're trying to reach out to us except for AJ. He oddly looks like he's fishing and trying to reel in a big one.

• Yes AJ, we now know words come out of our mouths thanks to your clever hand gestures.

• And we also know now that to "take" something involves getting something and bringing it towards us thanks to Kevin's brilliant hand gestures.

• What's up with all the one index fingers standing on each hand? Everyone's doin it!

• "Listen" - AJ points to his ear.

• Eeeeeeeeek errrrrr - Who's driving and turning those corners so sharply?!? tsk tsk...omg it was Brian!!

• Then we see Bri in the next shot doin a little neck work.

• Howie sits down and "wonders why we haven't tried."

• Thunderstorm on oversized TV.

• Bring both arms up to your face and having a hurt look on your face now means, "goodbye" according to Kev, AJ, and Howie.

• Back to walking, and looking for a restroom.

• See through shirt.

• Brian's fists....damn hot fists.

• Kevin playing air guitar...or just throwing his hands down to the beat. And Howie's spinning a little circle according to the beat. And if you notice Nick has his back turned to the camera during that part and it looks like he's doing something he probably isn't doing at all.

• We've got windmills but no bathrooms....or whatever they're called.

• Looks like it was getting hot in that desert - Howie pulled his hair back.

• Aw Kevin's hat!! He's freaking out! Look at him freaking out over his lost hat!!

• "Chance" now means both index and pinky fingers up according to Kevin or covering your face with both your hands according to Nick.

• Weeeeeee....Nick never gets dizzy, because there's nothing up there to tell him he's dizzy. Aw ya know I'm jokin! I love ya Fraz!

• Notice how Nick mimics the sun rising before the sun rises on the oversized TV screen. I bet the director wanted Nick to do that behind Kevin but then Kevin said, "Naw, can we just get a shot of a sun rising instead?"

• Someone else is now spinning.

• End shot - They all do something that has been done before - Nick falls to the ground, trying to hold onto Howie. Howie raises his arm, Brian makes fists. Kev does that #1 thing with his fingers, and AJ just stands there.

• They then leave disappointed in never finding a bathroom because they all really gotta go......bad.

• An hour later while driving, they realize the desert is one big litter box.

I wanna Go Home!
