"Pieces of a Dream" is a pop-rock ballad written by Anastacia, Glen Ballard and David Hodges for Anastacia's first greatest hits album Pieces of a Dream (2005). It was produced by Hodges and received a mixed reception from music critics- some believing it to be her best song to date, others thought it was boring and too much like previuos tracks. The song was released as the album's second single on November 11, 2005 (see 2005 in music) in Europe, and reached the top ten in Italy, the Netherlands, and the top twenty in Greece, Switzerland and Germany.
[edit] Music video
The music video for "Pieces of a Dream" was directed by David Lippman and Charles Mahling, and was filmed in Los Angeles, California between September 17 and 18, 2005. The video is notable for being shot entirely in black and white. It is mostly set in dark woods, and has no coherent storyline, featuring a series of mysterious images - perhaps to literally interprete the song's title, "Pieces of a Dream". 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 been held in a padded cell, and video is actually a part of her dream.
