Her voice carries on its own: “Gaslighter, I’m your mirror / Standing right here until you can see how / You broke me / Yeah, I’m broken. This point is where the Chicks derailed.įor a brief moment towards the end, the fanfare dies down, and a vulnerable, heartbroken Maines faces the camera. The original advertisement follows with a massive nuclear blast, portrayed with a classic mushroom cloud. As the 3-year old girl innocently picks petals from her flower, she is unknowingly repeating a mission-control countdown. Johnson, along with much of the United States, believed his opponent to be dangerously incompetent to the point of threatening the world’s future. Johnson ran the ad against Barry Goldwater. The term stems from the title of a 1938 British play called Gas Light, in which a husband repeatedly changes and alters the home environment and denies doing so when questioned by his wife about the changes. The introductory scene, known historically as the “Daisy” ad, comes from Lyndon B. Gaslighting is a psychologically manipulative tactic to get a person or group of people to doubt their reality and memory. Political snafus inserted throughout the video create a broader cultural context. The radical approach signals that the Dixie Chicks have returned, and this time, they demand to be heard. If you feel filled with self-doubt after an encounter with your coworker, you’re probably experiencing gaslighting. You find yourself continually doubting your perception of reality. Vintage vignettes flash between militant invasions of the Dixie Chicks, cloned to present a front with three times the strength of the trio. Regardless, you have a right to stand up for yourself and shut down harmful rumors.
“Gaslighter” burns it all the way down with the accompanying video, produced by Seanne Farmer. Strayer remembers thinking, “This needs to be the sound of this album.”
“He blew us away,” Emily Strayer remarked in the same interview with Lowe. “Gaslighter” was the first song the Dixie Chicks wrote with Jack Antonoff. After writing this burning anthem, those plans changed. The trio held the idea they would host multiple co-writers and producers to bring the dynamic album they had in mind, to life. “I was just in it and dedicated and devoted, and if I had started writing songs about it … I don’t want to say I was in a ‘survival mode,’ but I was just not ready to open up like that.” “I didn’t want to analyze my life or my relationship,” Maines admitted on the Spiritualgasm podcast. When you lie or manipulate someone, and make them feel crazy for reacting how they react & make them believe their gut isnt true. For many years, Maines avoided writing songs in fear of the emotional implications of the self-reflecting process.
