Wikipedia article
"'Pieces of a Dream'" is a song by American singer Anastacia from her first greatest hits album, 'Pieces of a Dream' (2005). Written by Anastacia, Glen Ballard, and David Hodges, it was produced by Hodges and details a number of difficult issues the singer experienced while touring in 2005 such as the breakdown of her relationship and the death of her estranged father. The single was released as the album's lead single in Europe on November 11, 2005, and in the United Kingdom 10 days later. The single reached the top ten in Italy and the Netherlands, and the top twenty in Germany and Switzerland. It also peaked at number one in Spain three years after its original release.
Critical reception
Allmusic editor Sharon Mawer said that this song is "more midtempo but it suffers from a lack of a discernible melody."
Music video
The music video for "Pieces of a Dream" was directed by David Lippman and Charles Mehling, and was filmed in Los Angeles, California, between September 1718, 2005. Shot entirely in black-and-white, the video is mostly set in dark woods, and has no coherent storyline, featuring a series of mysterious imagesperhaps to literally interpret the song's title.
The video depicts Anastacia's descent into madness, and the hallucinations she has, such as a frozen rose and images of herself burning. It is later revealed that Anastacia is being held in a padded cell, and that the video is actually a part of her dream.
