Anneli plays
a very small part in the video, director Kim Strømstad
explains; - The story is about a boy and a girl, played
by Mads Buer and Suzanne Paalgard, who meet at a party,
and somehow don't get the chance to exchange phonenumbers.
Afterwards they still think about each other and now
and then the girl sees glimpses of the boy in different
setting but never gets hold of him, until one day...
Anneli is appearing at the right places at the right
time, smiling cleverly to the camera. So we assume
she is the one who brings them together, like a good
fairy, or like Amelie in that French movie.
- It was my idea that I should
have a small part in the video, not being the one
singing straight into the camera, Anneli says. I don't
know why but somehow the lyrics are too direct for
me and it is better to have someone who has a more
objective feeling of the song, playing that role and
we found an actress to play the part. I also like
videos where the band is more in the background and
where complete strangers replaces the band. This song
and the lyrics are for all of us, if you see. But
although my role is small, it is important, symbolically.
I am the magic woman smiling in the background which
suits me perfectly, he, he.
