Dear music fans,

I write a lot about relationships, and some of the best ones I’ve had over the years have been with you – my audience. You guys certainly know how to see love, so now I want to see it through YOUR eyes.

I’m performing the song, “Loving You is Easy” at the Junos this year… and I want to showcase a collage of your videos behind me as I play, expressing the beautiful and comedic elements of love, from Bogey and Bacall kisses to noses colliding when the romantic timing goes awry.

Maybe love for you is perfectly symbolized in the moment Richard Gere picks up Debra Winger in An Officer and a Gentlemen, or maybe you think romantic love is a little less perfect, and looks more like someone choking on an engagement ring that a hopeful suitor put in a champagne flute. Or what about a couple kissing in the rain, and when the camera pulls back – you realize they’re under a showerhead, or someone on a ladder pouring water over them. Or just a simple hug, or kiss.

Really, it’s all up to you. Just take an Iphone4 or other HD video camera and shoot a short scene of love (no more than 20 seconds), romantic or humorous (just not pornographic!). All the videos should be silent. If you’re shooting with an IPhone4, be sure to shoot horizontally. Keep the frame tight, meaning our lovers have to be big in the frame without a ton of background. And why not dress up, and use different locations?

Mostly importantly, have fun. This is your vision of love, after all.
