After a great but long day at the river, I decided to come home and bust out "Britney & Kevin: Chaotic"'s only single "Someday (I Will Understand". This is really when you knew Britney was headed for trouble as K-Fed became more involved. It is interesting that the song that really marked that period has a lot to do with God.
"Someday (I Will Understand"
We begin with a floaty magic start up. Just several fly overs to show she is near the ocean.living in Autumn, and suburban. Just gently singing from her bed on a lazy Saturday. This video has a weird overtone of death but Britney is about to give birth. Is her sexy self from the previous videos dying? Also, this video has a great reveal of her being pregnant. They shoot from boobs up until she sings about her baby for the first time and then BAM cut to the belly. She moves into cry singing into secret garden mirror right before the big reveal. So much washing of her hands which is a good sign for a future mom. The stone angels, still pool with leaves, overexposed shots of trees and singing while you are pressed against a glass window don't feel like a celebration of the upcoming life. It is like she is trapped and begging to get out. So much for gratuitous abs. They have been replaced with pregnant belly grabs. I mean they did a great job of making sure she had a pregnancy glow. Really you would think she would be doing one of her standard, dancy, fun time songs for her baby reveal video.
