When I started this little project, I thought, “Oh, this is going to be so much fun because I just LOVE Woody Allen, and I LOVE Borderline…”  But, what I failed to recognize is that Borderline’s I’m-so-crazy-I-can-even-put-it-into-a-cute-bubble-gum-pop-song doesn’t really mesh well with Woody Allen’s I’m-so-crazy-and-I-mean-SO-CRAZY-that-you’re-going-to-want-to-kill-me-in-the-end…

Not to mention the caliber of Woody Allen’s writing (note that this movie was his 14th Academy Award nomination for writing).  His characters are so nuanced, it was really hard pulling out certain moments to fit a verse in a four minute song because each scene was packed with so many undercurrents.

So, much like the Far from Heaven — Believe video I did, it just ends up being weirdly sad with an awful pop backdrop…

But, at any rate, this one goes out to my sister who I’m always reminding to be responsible with the people that fall in love with her… plus, she helped pick the song… I can’t imagine why.
