THE SURPRISE / END OF AN ERA

Avril posted her surprise, and thank you to us fans yesterday. The beginning of the video we see Avril expressing her gratitude for this Goodbye Lullaby album era, as well as The Black Star Tour.

While shooting the Vanity Fair Italy magazine spread in early 2011 with photographer Mark Liddell, the two of them shot a video, set to Avril's favorite song from Goodbye Lullaby, "Goodbye". It's a powerful piece that shows (at least how I have interpreted it) Avril's character arriving home into an empty apartment, then getting ready and waiting for someone (her lover?) to get home. When she realizes that no one is coming, she begins to get upset and angry, ripping off her wig and crying. At the end of the video she leaves the apartment, but we don't know where to. VERY moving and it's soooo impossible to not feel Avril's emotions when she cries!

What do you think?



[EDIT] An official explanation from the director of the video, Mark Liddell.
"This is not just a video but a film with a message and a meaning. It shows a beautiful strong woman coming to terms with who she is. At the end of the day, at the end of our life,at the end of a tour..who are we?. We have to be able to accept who we are and look in the mirror and see the real person,the person behind the image..We have fantasies but it is reality that runs our life. It takes bravery,it takes strength, it takes vulnerability and it exposes beauty. I am so proud of my friend, the iconic, super talented,person, that i know as AVRIL LAVIGNE. Thankyou for trusting me with something so personal. PLEASE DONATE TO HER FOUNDATION TO HELP THOSE THAT NEED OUR HELP SO BADLY"
