Usher takes us through a few twists and turns of a very complicated situation in his new video for ‘Climax’. Usher mentally goes through all the possible scenarios that can go down if he tries to get his girl away from her crazy husband. From simply getting caught, sleeping with her, and murdering the guy. Usher’s thought process gets pretty dramatic in the video.....
Since the song isn’t about sex, it’s no surprise he opted not to do a sexy video. Instead, he found a situation a lot of people can relate to and played it out cinematically.
You say, it’s better if we love each other
Separately
I just need you one more time
I can’t get what we had out my mind
Where are you now
when I need you around
I’m on my knees but it seems we’re going
Going nowhere fast
We’ve reached the climax

ReplyDeleteUsher and the “girlfriend” are having an affair. Based on the fast forward scenes, the girlfriend’s husband is abusive (hence the affair perhaps)…Anywho, he is sitting in his car outside of his girlfriend’s house thinking of multiple scenarios of how to “save her” so she can leave her abusive husband forever and they continue on with their (Usher/gf) deep love affair.
As the song portrays they’ve gotten so far in their love and he doesn’t want to loose it but not sure how to fix the issue (in this case her husband per the video)…But in the end decides to hold onto the love and memories they shared vs. continuing to fight for their love/relationship. Hence him driving off – away from the house – in the end.
it could be a boyfriend; not a husband.
ReplyDeleteBut you get what I’m saying. LOL
Hope the breakdown helped.
good break down..cause i wasnt getting @ ICU
ReplyDeleteHit it and leave it :)
ReplyDeleteI think you hit the nail right on the head. I kind of missed what he did at the end of the video (notice he opens the door to the car, and then closes it).
ReplyDeleteI didnt see where the abusive husband came into play…. looks to me just like a typical affair when the outside person ends up falling madly in love, but its nothing he can do.. So he plays out scenarios that some side pieces actually do.. He goes in & kills the husband, another scene he gets the girl into the car and it appears he’s probably trying to kill them all in a head on crash( many fools have a “if I cant have u no one will” way of thinking, the first scenario when he ran in and made out with her could have been on purpose, he may have WANTED the husband to catch them 2 2gether..I don’t think he’s trying to save her.. I think he just wants to be with her. And is willing to do whatever it takes to get the hubby out the picture.. but who knows
ReplyDeleteI love this song and video!!! He’s just so sexy!!
ReplyDeleteWOW, I love the video. He has the raw emotion he presented in his “Confessions” video.
ReplyDeleteSong got me thinking…
Usher will spill it. Hes that open as an artist, and its brilliant. I’ve always been a fan of his since..Lawd..God knows. lol
ReplyDeleteidk if you know this or not..but Usher has been doing the R&B/Techno thing for a minute..and guess what…they’re still hits.
ReplyDeleteand about your ex..you love him/her enough to state it on a blog randomly tht you hate them…make a name..and apparently posted pics of his shaved nuts. sooo lowkey…you really love him/her. but you can go head and vent.
more “sex” in a video…………ugghhhh

ReplyDeleteI’m gonna need for Usher to cut his damn hair & shave.
ReplyDeleteMe 2 I want that babyface look back
ReplyDeleteNah he’s too grown for that. But I do want him to cut that hair into a neat fade tho because I can’t stand his hair right now.
ReplyDeleteYea I agree. I dont mind the scruff on his face, but he is TOO DAMN GROWN for that damn mohawk. Cut that ish!
ReplyDeletei think he’ll cut once he starts really promoting his work. right now its just teasers..
