"Deciphering" Something the boss does. Analyzing, like how to figure something out. Something stupid people can't do
"Deciphering Me" is artist/songwriter Brooke Fraser's sixth single, and her first single from her second studio album Albertine. On December 4 the song peaked at #4 on New Zealand's RIANZ singles charts, and as of January 22 had remained in the top 10 for a total of nine weeks.[1] The single includes two B-sides, a live piano backed version of the title track and a demo track, "Day Is Dimming". Both were recorded at Sony Studios in Sydney. Deciphering Me was performed live on the current affairs show Close Up on December 1.[2]. During the preceding interview, Fraser stated that the song is about "vulnerability and trust". This was in fact one of presenter Susan Wood's last shows before her resignation due to health problems. [3].
[edit] Music Video
The music video for the single was directed by Anthony Rose. It took two days to shoot and was filmed in Tokyo, Japan, on October 2, 2006 and October 3, 2006. The music video depicts Fraser walking through late night Tokyo in the rain, backed by scenery of neon-lit buildings. She appears in such places as the Nishi-shinjuku business district, Shibuya Center-gai shopping area. One following scene shows Fraser on the Tokyo metropolitan train system. All the while as she does this, she holds a transparent umbrella and lip-synchs to her song. The final scenes show her return to her hotel building, climb the elevator and stand upon the roof.
