"All that glitters isn't always gold." Christina Perri uploaded the brand new visual for "Burning Gold," the second official single from her latest sophomore album "Head or Heart," and features a throwback clip that harkens back to '60s girl groups, bright lights, old school Hollywood glam and lots of gold, of course. Fearing the life she wants might be slipping out of her grasp, Perri declares that she's had enough and she wants a change. With the flip of a jukebox song and the grasp of a microphone, the singer steps forward to take charge of her life.
The 27-year-old Philadelphia singer is best-known for her emotional ballads "Jar Of Hearts" and "A Thousand Years," but Perri isn't afraid to raise the tempo occasionally as she proves on "Burning Gold," which was co-written by Perri with Kid Harpoon and was produced by John Hill and Butch Walker. The cover art for "Burning Gold" features Perri with a Midas touch, turning her right hand, arm and shoulder into gold. That gold - giving your life meaning - is what "Burning Gold" is all about. Change starts with the daily grind: "I wish the wind would carry a change. It only ends once you've burnt all the useless packaging of your life down to gold."
Perri is not afraid to stand up for herself in her "Burning Gold" video which gives off a "Dreamgirls" vibe. As a waitress at a very dirty truck stop diner, her life is pretty miserable, but she's got to work there to make ends meet. She gazes through the window from time to time watching the better lives of other, and realizing hers is sort of doomed. However, when a famous singers and his back-up dancer enter the diner one day, Perri out of the sudden gets a shot of courage, selects a song on the jukebox, grabs the microphone and starts belting the song and exposing her amazing talent.
This famous male singer spots Perri, and hires her as her new back-up singer. After going on tour, Perri falls in love with his 'savior' aka the famous singer who hired her. They supposedly live a happy life until Perri finds him cheating on her. A heart-broken and furious singer gets the keys of his Porsche, drives away with no fixed destination, leaves and gets off the car below a cement bridge and sets it on fire - leaving all her 'new life' and all the glitz behind.
