This is the version of flashing lights that I was anticipating.
(remember the preview shots that he posted on his blog?)
When he only released the first version I was dazed & confused.
I like all three versions. They all offer a unique perspective
on the song. I really like the ending of this clip. The middle of
"desert/car/shovel" version, & the beginning of "day/model/rape"
version. I have to ask, why does Kanye make 6 versions of his videos?
Then I remember that he is an artist that likes to explore his craft.
All of these videos demonstrate how being creative can give a song more
life than just the track & the lyrics. I can appreciate his inability to accept
nothing but the best. I bow in the presence of his greatness.

I keep watching this over and over. I like it. I don't love it (yet). Its totally not what I expected.

So the official word from Kanye's blog is the video is done, wrapped, finito, complete, ready to go. BUT, he promised BET they could give the world premeire. *looks at watch*...Roxy, Terrance, get it done.

This image was posted on Kanye's blog, apparently he shot the video in Denmark. No word on an official release date, but it's done. I'm so psyched, I think I just peed a little.
*bites down hard w/ big grin*

Flashing lights, lights
Flashing lights, lights
Flashing lights, lights

[Kanye West]
She don't believe in shootin' stars,
but she believe in shoes & cars
Wood floors in the new apartment,
couture from the store's department
You more like L'eau de Stardee shit,
I'm more of the, trips to Florida
Order the h'orderves, views of the Water
Straight from the page of your favorite author
And the weather so breezy,
man why can't life always be this easy
She in the mirror dancing so sleazy,
I get a call like where are you Yeezy
Try to hit you with a 'Oeur de Whopee'
Till I get flashed by the paparazzi
Damn, these nigga's got me,
I hate these nigga's more than the Nazis

As I recall, I know you love to show off
But I never thought that you would take it this far
What do I know? Flashing lights, lights
What do I know? Flashing lights, lights

[Kanye West]
I know it's been a while,
Sweetheart, we hard-ly talk, I was doing my thing
I know I was foul bay-bay,
a-bay late-ly you been all on my brain,
And if somebody would've told me a month ago
Fronting though, yo I wouldn't wanna know
If somebody would've told me a year ago
it'd go, get this difficult
Feeling like Katrina with no fema
Like Martin with no Gina
Like a flight with no visa
First class with the seat back I still see ya
In my past, you on the other side of the glass
Of my memory's museum,
I'm just saying, Hey Mona Lisa,
come home you know you can't Rome without Caesar

[Dwele]
As I recall, I know you love to show off
But I never thought that you would take it this far
What do I know? Flashing lights, lights
What do I know? Flashing lights, lights

As you recall, you know I love to show off
But you never thought that I would take it this far
What do you know? Flashing lights, lights
What do you know? Flashing lights, lights

Flashing lights, lights
Flashing lights, lights

[Fade out]
Lights, lights, lights, lights...
