Justin Timberlake’s “Mirrors,” the gorgeously floaty eight-minute love song with the vaguely narcissistic underpinning, now has a video, and it’s dedicated to Timberlake’s grandparents, together for 63 years. The clip tells the story of a couple from different points in their lives, and even if the chronological math doesn’t actually work out, I love the idea that JT’s grandparents were rockabilly kids. The best part of the video is the last few minutes, where Timberlake and some models dance in a hall of mirrors. Floria Sigismondi, who directed the terrible movie The Runaways and David Bowie’s fascinating “The Stars (Are Out Tonight)” video, helms this one. Watch it below.
The 20/20 Experience is out now on RCA.

I just really think if JT and I hung out we would be best friends.
So, JT, you know I think you’re the bee’s knees, but these seven and eight minute songs are ridiculous. Real it in, dude!
I think it’s pretty cool that he did that. With the way most people listen to music, there’s no reason that the limited space of old formats should still be dictating the length of albums and songs. It’s cool to see someone as pop and mainstream as JT take this creative liberty.
I mean if you like it that’s fine. I think that the songs suffer from the length though.
But really a lot of his long songs are two different songs. The second is a variation on the first but its typically pretty distinctly different, like the second half of this song is pretty far removed from the first half.
For the record, I was not one who downvoted you. I always get nervous that people might think I’m the one who downvoted just because I wrote a reply that disagreed. I rarely downvote.
No problem. I don’t really worry too much about all that too much anyway.
This is incredibly beautiful.
VMA bait
All the cyber butt kissing Stereogum is doing for JT must have made the website crash.
This video is crazy. Digging how JT breaks it down in the end. http://smarturl.it/JustinMirrors.
