New Video: The saturdays' "Gentlemen"

I can at least like the direction of the video (Very much inspired by Desperate housewives) but it really doesn't take away from how unappealing this song is. Why this choice guys? i mean what of the Darkchild song or at least another Inna/Mac hit to spice things up but not this ... seriously not this.

I remember how hard it was writing this song. it was crafted to be this very sad song about being hopeless but basically having hope - i didn't want it to be a religious thing or connecting with a lover so i made it about the accompanying instrument. in the song, i ask the acoustic guitar to "String me back to life" ... basically relying on the instrument to get out of my funk.
