This I Promise You--Candice's Version

we'll love 'em always... no matter how goofy they are.


the video for "This I Promise You" wasn't exactly everyone's favorite *NSYNC video. And I hate to be a bit rude, but personally, I could have done a way better job on the video than the director did. So, in short, this is my version of the video. Before you read it, I'd reccomend going and getting NSA and putting on the song.

First verse
Right when the song starts, we see a foggy street. Justin is walking down it, wearing dark clothes and singing the first verse. He comes to this little house and stares in the window. Britney is sitting on the couch. She looks sad, and she's watching a home video of her and Justin on the beach. Close-up shows that tears are streaming down her face. ("when the visions around you bring tears to your eyes...") Justin is now standing in the living room behind her, singing. When he gets to the part where he sings "I'll be your strength..." he leans down close and sings into her ear. At "Keeping your faith when it's gone" she gets up and walks into a bedroom. "The one you should call is standing here all alone..." he stands in the doorway, looking over her.

Chours
The guys are standing in this beautiful park at night, stars shining down on them. When Justin sings "Til the day my life is through--" he's back in Britney's room, wrapping the blankets over her shoulders.

Second verse
JC is in a beautiful garden, wearing a tux. As he sings "I loved you forever in lifetimes before..." we see him walking down an isle. It hits you that he's getting married. A beautiful bride stands at the end of the isle. When he sings "this is a battle we've won" the priest mouths the words "I now pronounce you man and wife". At "and with this vow, forever has now begun..." they kiss.

Second chourus
we see Joey and Kelly in a nursery, rocking a baby to sleep, and a few cuts back to the gazebo shot. Back to Joey and Kelly--they gaze lovingly into each other's eyes and they also kiss the baby's forehead.

Bridge
At "over and over I fall" we see Lance with a nice-looking girl, holding a bouquet of flowers. She smiles at him and wraps her arm around him. They walk on down a street, and look up at the stars. She kisses him. (losta mushy details in here)

Instrumental Break
Chris and Danielle are on a beach, under the same stars, looking up at them. Dani nudges Chris, and mouths "look" and she points to a shooting star. Chris smiles, and she snuggles closer to him.

Final chorus
The guys are back at the gazebo. The sun's coming up and we see a car pulling up in the distance. Britney gets out. She is wearing all black, and one of those big old fashioned hats with a big veiled brim. She walks through this park and we notice that its not a park--it's a cemetary. At "just close your eyes" Justin materializes in the background as Britney stops in front of a tombstone. She's holding white roses, and she bends over to put them on the grave. It reads "Justin Randall Timberlake, 1981-2001". (morbid eh?) When Justin sings "every word I say is true" he leans close to her ear, and sings to her. When he stretches the note out, Britney takes the last rose in her hand, kisses it, and places it on the grave. She walks away. Justin picks up the rose, and as the sun comes up, he vanishes.
