'You just want people to feel that and I wanted little cutaways of interactions that would give you the right emotion.'Īs well as interpreting the emotion of the song, the series of seemingly unrelated vignettes paint a portrait of Rihanna's much-discussed personal life. With 'Diamonds,' it was just a series of vignettes that we put together to help get the emotion across throughout the song 'cause the song changes and it builds, and there's no real way that you could do that,' she explained. 'With every song it's a different story, so the visuals are very specific to that story and that world.

The Bajan star explained to MTV News that the clip concentrates more on emotion, than any tangible storyline. We see her in four different environments, each representing one of the four elements earth, air, water and fire, highlighting the song's sense of hope in the midst of chaos and destruction. The Anthony Mandler-directed video showcases Rihanna in a variety of beautiful and sad settings. My story is definitely going to be a happily ever after, no matter what.' Talking about the message of her song, Rihanna told MTV News: 'I think a lot of people are afraid of being happy because of what others might think of it, They're afraid to embrace that and embrace themselves and love themselves and do what they love and do what makes them happy.

HOLD= If you hold someone you embrace them, hug them, put your arms around them to show your love.

SHOOTING STAR= A meteorite (a rock coming from the sky onto the earth) which leaves a shining trail as it crosses the earth’s atmosphere for a moment ( see picture) I knew that we'd become one right away, oh right awayĪt first sight I felt the energy of sun rays
