TOYZ 2009.06 - MY OBSESSION. Hello my dear friends, The WE'RE ALL TOYZ Tour this year was an amazing and very successful time for Cinema Bizarre. We played about 30 shows in 12 different countries and I won't forget all those faces that seemed to enjoy our show. Thank you to everyone that came to see us, thanks to our crew and the poeple that followed us. That was the best time of the year for us, we owe that to you for making it possible. This Friday, November the 27th, our last single from "TOYZ"/"BANG!" is going to be released. For those who don't have the album yet, I try to describe "MY OBSESSION". The first ballad that we are releasing as a single is a piano-driven song that ends up as a rock ballad. It's an ode to all the ballads. Do you know that one moment when you love someone and everything seems eternal, because you forget, time, administration, your ego? All that matters these few seconds is the moment itself. Sometimes I think love is an illusion, but when those moments happen it gets true. I tried to captivate that feeling that passes so fast in one song. That song ended up as "MY OBSESSION". For sure it might describe the way how I love someone. But I don't want to tell you much about the lyrics, everyone is making their own experiences, is seeing different pictures and is following their own voices. So you should also see your own story in "MY OBSESSION". There are two version of the music video that were both shot during our tour this spring in the USA. You see a lot of scenes in New York, San Francisco and the Performance was captured during our concert at House of Blues in Chicago. It was an unusual shoot for us - there was no make up artist, no set, no story. Just the 5 of us and a camera. We had our idea of the music video and our record company had their own imagination of how the motion picture should look like. The result of that discussion were that we produced two music video. I leave it to you to decide which version you like the most. Both can be seen as moving photograph albums of this autumn's US tour. I hope you enjoy our present to you. See you very soon. Jack Strify.
