In the solitude of his home, Adam Lambert scribbles down his thoughts and turns to music for comfort and inspiration in the preview clip for the “Better Than I Know Myself” music video. He also appears to have plenty of oxygen on tap! The video is “like a cousin” to Lambert’s 2010 visual for his smash “Whataya Want From Me”, the singer told MTV News recently. And as for the song? “[It's about] that moment where you’re like, ‘I need you, I love you,’ where you have to reassure your partner,” the recent birthday boy said. “No matter what kind of relationship, everybody can relate to that moment.” Watch below.
Like with “Whataya Want From Me”, Ray Kay directed the “Better Than I Know Myself” video. The full clip is set to premiere on Friday (February 3).
“I definitely wanted to take a more hands on role in the video concept and the whole process,” Adam said in a behind-the-scenes look at the clip. “I think what [director Ray Kay and I] came up with was a nice twist on the song ‘Better Than I Know Myself’. I think when viewers see the video they’ll look at the lyrics a little bit differently than may have first considered them.”
Do you like what you’ve seen so far?
UPDATE: The video has arrived! Watch Adam Lambert’s “Better Than I Know Myself” video.
Boring. Seen way better Ray Kay vids!
i think what we’ve been shown so far is deceptive. the oxygen tank, the one way glass mirror, the tiny room (and from backstage photos we know there is another dark room on the other side of the glass, where a very different ‘adam’ might live) points to something a little science-fictiony or psychological. Bet on the fact that a dark!adam and light!adam coexisting at the same time will be interacting.
I’m intrigued
Diane Martel directed the “Whataya Want From Me” video. Ray Kay directed Adam’s “For Your Entertainment” video. A picture is floating through the Internet and Adam has yellow eyes so I’m pretty sure this video is going to be epic. @Danny … Boring? No way! Nothing Adam does is boring!! Love the man, love the voice!!
the whole vid is out…it is a vid of the battle between the good side of us and the bad side…brilliant twist to this song…love the vid…and take special notice to the very end…when adam is walking on the sidewalk…nice twist…love the song.
