10 years ago I released an album called "Illumination", and 2022 marked the 10th anniversary of that special release. I always had it in the back of my mind that one day I would create a magical music video for my song "Etude For the Dreamer" from that album, and though I can't believe it took 10 years to finally do it, I'm really proud of the result.
I spent over a year on this video - from pre-production, set design, filming, and refining the concept and storyline. You can watch my "Behind the Scenes" video for this to learn more about that process.
I was inspired by the lockdown of the pandemic - and what I personally felt was a lot of worry, anxiety, panic, and doom. Every time I would turn on the news, it just felt like it was getting worse. I experienced my own sets of panic attacks during that, and often music was an escape for me. I would go to my piano and transport myself to fantastical worlds of color and dreams.
From my socials: " OUT NOW on RUclips 📺 - Watch the official music video for Etude For the Dreamer. Link in my Bio 🔗.
ETUDE FOR THE DREAMER synopsis:
With the stress of everything that has happened in the world these past few years, and is currently happening - it can leave one feeling full of anxiety. It can be hard to find light and hope. The news always seems to be bad, and I definitely personally experienced my own set of panic attacks during the past two years.
Music was an escape for me though - and I found myself escaping to fantastical worlds of color and imagination through my music and my mind.
In my new music video for "Etude For the Dreamer" (from Illumination) you see my character leave the real world and go into a land of dreams. What she finds there are not only fairy tales but alternate versions of her own reality, and in the end she finds that she has the ability to shape her own reality.
Take off the glasses and really take a look. The magic is already before you.

Wow, thank you! I really appreciate that my friend. Especially come from you - a fellow artist who also makes such amazing and high quality content. These projects I've found are becoming more rare and not as common anymore as short form content is so popular right now. Thank you so much for your very kind words and for watching. I really appreciate it!
What a lovely comment, Lauren. I find it so appealing when artists are so genuinely supportive of other artists and I appreciate you even a little more for that which I deemed hardly possible. ❤️
A dream of a composition. There was a UK ad, which shows the whole world recognises Jennifer Thomas.
Thank you so much Alf ❤️❤️

My comment was almost done and then I deleted it by mistake before sending! This was brilliant and beautiful! You are so talented and imaginative! You and Will, and your whole team, work so well together! How do you juggle this incredible work with your most important job of being a good/loving Mom of 3 Sons & Wife?! You are Awesome! Thank you for sharing your talents once again with us! Lovely with so many details and creative music in this video! Be proud! Love it all! ❤️💕💕💗💙🌹🙏🎵🎶🎼🎹🎤⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💙💙💙❤️
What an imaginative and Promethean firework of audiovisual magic. Your tempestuous piano play gloriously embedded into a cinematic wonderland of fairytale and escapism is both a feast for the senses and an impressive testimony to all the heart and soul you put into the making of this masterpiece. Brava and bravissima, Jennifer van Beethoven. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💐🫶🏼
Wow such high compliments! Thank you oh so much, I'm so glad you enjoyed it! ❤️❤️
What a journey through music and video!!
Simply beautiful. You make it look effortless. Wonderful story.
I don't think I can find the words to describe what I just experienced! The ones that come to mind are magnificent, awe inspiring, spectacular and beautiful, but they fall short. I can see why it took so many hours to put this together -absolutely stunning! I can't wait to watch it again, but on the big TV and through the stereo this time.
I almost forgot to mention that I love the quote from Mr. Everett!
I really loved that quote too, and thank you so much!! I really appreciate your kind words! 🥰
Absolutely BRILLIANT!!! Wow Wow Wow….. Epic 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you, so glad you enjoyed it. 🙏❤️
Another stunning effort! Amazing work, Jennifer!
This is astounding! Going to have to watch it over and over to catch all the details. Oh it was worth the wait!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm so happy you loved it! Thank you, truly!
Beautiful. And the song is beautiful too.
Jennifer's Adventures in Wonderland! Wow! It's cool!!
Expert craftsmanship. Storytelling, videography, musicianship of the highest quality. Your heart thumps. Your breath pants. You smile at the magical story end. Congratulations Jennifer and team. ✨🎉
Thanks Sean - thanks for noticing so many little details I put into this too, it means a lot!
I see by looking in chat, Some ppl were complaining about ads ?.
That's why i love my JT album collection on cd......No ads on these babies, Just pure uninterrupted music.
Aaaaah...Life is good🤗. I have JT all to myself🤣.
I am so appreciative that you own my CD! Thank you! As for the youtube ads though, it is the only way us artists make even just a few pennies from youtube, but I have made them skipable for everyone.
Fairy tales I noticed: Alice in Wonderland & Little Red Riding Hood. I’m sure the queen drinking from the goblet is another one, but it’s escaping my brain (kind of reminds me of Maleficent?) as well as lots of classic books- Peter Pan, Little Women. Did I hear some Chopin Ocean Etude going on in there as well?
Good eyes and ears! So yes, you got Alice in Wonderland (Alice Through the Looking Glass), Little Red Riding Hood, and so the golden scene with the chalices is actually King Midas. I think everyone knows that fairytale (where he makes a wish to turn anything he touches to gold but it turns into a curse as he tries to eat and drink and his chalice turns to gold), I don't think people remember it until you remind them though. There were nods to Peter Pan (the fairy character), and yes my Etude is loosely based on some of the hand arpeggios from the Chopin Etude, which is why in the NYC scene you see the Chopin Etude book (briefly), there are also 2 Chopin paintings in the scene as well.
P.S. There are more fairytales and nods in there as well that I didn't mention, but I want to see if others catch them.
Breathtakingly beautiful, Jenni & Will!!! 👏🏼💕
Aw thank you!! ❤️
Oh wow, this is SO beautiful! I love this composition, and what it was inspired by. How easy it is to be swept away in everything going wrong around us. But there is beauty! I absolutely love the colors, cinematography, the score…..just all of it! Thank you for sharing this with the world!
Aw thank you, that means a lot. I'm so happy that this was your takeaway too - it was definitely my intention to show that we can make whatever reality we are currently in better.
How very Wonderful! I Pray that your Beautiful self continues on making yours and everyone's Dreams come true! Bravo!!🥰
Thanks so much for the sweet words!
And just when I think you didn't have any higher heights to impress me....
Amazing work, Jennifer. Captivatingly beautiful video. So glad I keep sending people to your music - it evokes life itself. Blessings. Grace and peace.
That really means a lot, thank you. Truly. 🙏❤️
Enchanting music and absolutely beautiful video. Very well done ❤
So wonderful! Music can carry us many places and this piece is no exception. Truly appreciate your efforts and look forward to much more. Thank you!
Wow, Jennifer! Absolutely amazing! Such wonderful God given talent put to work. You and your amazing team are to be congratulated!!!
Thank you sooooo much, really means a lot. 🥰
This is so beautiful in every way!!! The amount of details you put into this and connecting all the stories is simply magical! I love how vibrant all the colors are, I think that's my favorite part. Snow white with the apple, Beauty and the Beast with the rose, Peter Pan with tinkerbell and the pixie dust, Alice in Wonderland with the mad hatter (loved the queen of hearts and the white rabbit too), Red Riding Hood in the woods, Hansel and Gretel with the breadcrumbs... I couldn't figure out the one of you on the throne though. Such lovely homage to each one. This is also the perfect song for it!! 🥰🥰🥰
Nothing makes me happier as a creator than to see that my audience is noticing all the little details I slaved over, lol. THANK YOU. The golden chalice one was "King Midas". That was a sneaky one that not very many people got, and I think people forget that they know this fairytale.
Absolutely amazing! The visuals, the music, the story and the colors are awesome. The color is just perfect. With all of the chaos in our daily living, a perfectly done story, the music and visuals help someone like me with ocd and anxiety to escape for just a bit. Not only escape but it literally brightens the mood. I have zero clue how music is written or composed but I always give thanks for those that are masters at it. Excellent work!!
I appreciate that, thank you so much for the kind words!!
This is AMAZING!! You have totally outdone yourself!!! This is my favorite video so far!😍😍😍
Aw thank you my friend!! ❤️ It was a ton of work and I'm SO happy it's out now!
Its like a movie😮🎉
So beutiful
Wonderful musical and visual treat! 💗🎹
Absolutely beautiful music.
So beautiful. I started sobbing when you woke up at the end it was beautiful.
Aw oh my gosh, thank you!!! I'm so glad you felt that. 😭❤️
My gosh... you know the production value of the audio is outstanding when the tiny speakers in my iMac Pro sound like a full-fledged Dolby theater! And the visuals... I think they're the best you've ever done and some of the best cinematography Will has done! I really feel like you're allowing yourself to be more vulnerable in your productions, and more comfortable showing us that. I love you as a fantasy character, but I also love just seeing you in a sweatshirt! Outstanding job on all fronts. And, wow, did that Tess Goodman in the credits ever make or break the whole thing! HAHA! 😂
Thank you so much Tess, this really means a lot. I'm so glad that sound design was good for your system too - I actually spent a great deal of time on that. I rendered and exported SO many audio files, and downloaded them and listened to them on various devices to see how they sounded. SO much tweaking, so thanks for that. Thanks for the other kind words as well - I'm sure Will will also appreciate the words about his cinematography as well. :)
Jennifer, it's just beautiful! I love it.
This is so awesome! What a great story! Your outfits are incredibly stunning! This was definitely worth the wait. 💫❤️
Aw thank you so much Justin!! 😭😭❤️❤️
Talk about amazing, This is out of this world.
I can see there must be hell of a lot work goes into the music and video productions.
As always Jennifer....You look beautiful.
And Will is a genius behind the lens....He captures absolutely everything.
Thankyou for sharing this.
Love and best wishes to all the Thomas family❤🙏......Take care all💋.
Beautiful!! What an incredible imagination you have! The setting, the requisite, the costumes, the scenes, the colors, the sounds... Thank you for all the work you put into everything to make a musical piece sound and look magical. You just made my day! I can go back to my own dreaming now...
Aw this means so much coming from a fellow pianist!! Thank you Madalina! ❤️
Wow! Jennifer this is absolutely beautiful! LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!! ❤ 👏🤩
Thank you so much!! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! 🥰
So so beautiful ! 🙏💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

Aw thank you my beautiful friend!! 🥰🥰

MAGNIFIQUE FILM, MAGNIFIQUE MUSIQUE, TRÈS BEAU TRAVAIL JENNIFER, MERCI BEAUCOUP POUR CETTE MUSIQUE. 💕❤️😍 KISS DE FRANCE.
Merci!!! This means so much! ❤️
Good luck and determination for the continuation of this new musical adventure that you share for your fans.
Truly magical Jennifer. Such great talent to put it all together never mind being able to compose and play it!
A magical and inspiring journey. Thank you. That set design... 🏆
Aw, thanks so much Jeremy. It's been a while - I hope you and your family are doing great. Thanks for watching and for the kind words.
EPIC!!! So amazed at everything you accomplished!
Aw thank you so much Sarah!
Outstanding in every regard!
Oh my goodness! You are so amazing! This was beautiful. It brought tears to my eyes! And thank you so much for being such a great example of modesty, and showing that the utmost level of beauty can be attained with modesty!
Thank you so much for the kind words! I am so glad you enjoyed "Etude". 🥰 I do want to acknowledge that modesty is a term with so many different meanings. I would hope that if I had chosen to dress a little differently, it wouldn’t change how beauty is perceived here. ❤️ I will always hold the hope that the value I bring is based on the musicality, art, and emotions and not how I look or wear which is something we artists run up against often. Thank you!
Jennifer
Very beautiful ... 🌹💕🎶💐💞
Just a beautiful piece this video and magic behind it and the music is simply brilliant
What a pleasure to watch the video, Jennifer. I love the devotion that your entire family have for your music. Such a magical adventure with so much attention to detail

Seriously thank you sooooo much!! 🥰

Wow! 😮😊 Jennifer never ceases to AMAZE me.
Heaven’s angels must come near to hear her music and witness what depths of goodness, heart and soul she brings to share with this world.
Inspired. Moved. In awe. Beauty everywhere she walks.
Her fingers dance and our inner worlds are awakened; to be taught something of the expansiveness of what a joyous, remarkable thing it is to know; to come to know better ourselves, our soul, our senses. Everywhere her music goes hearts are reached and uplifted.
This is extraordinary, dear Jennifer! Your storytelling is inspirational!
Aw thank you! That means a lot coming from you! You are such a vivid storyteller! 🥰
@@jenniferthomas :) That's mostly Arty. But we wish we had such an attention to all the details, costumes, makeup, scenery. Totally mind blowing!
Uau!! Amei absolutamente tudo! Sou sua fã aqui do Brasil!! A música de boa qualidade é poderosa alcança o mundo todo!!
Thank you so much!! 🥰
Beautiful! I love this song so much and love even more that you brought it to life in a whole new way with this video. Every scene has so many details. Thanks for pouring your heart into this project and sharing this gift with the world..
This really means a lot, thank you, thank you! 🥰
This is an incredible video Jennifer well done 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏
Thank you! 🙏❤️
Beautiful composition and amazing video that accompanies it! Simply amazing!
Thank youuuu!! 🥰
This song would be epic in another fairytale movie
Wow! I was going to just listen but it pulled me right in. I loved all the fairytales tied into it--Red Riding Hood, Beauty and the Beast (the rose), Snow White, and Alice. This truly was epic, and the composition was amazing! I am going to go find all your other videos.
Aw thank you so much!!! 🥰🥰
This is beyond beautiful!! I was so sad that I was in a biology test during the premiere 😢 but it was worth the wait ❤ I know you got tons of amazing clips for TikTok and this needs to go viral!! Congratulations!!
Thank you so much!! ❤️❤️
Omg i am SO EXCITED FOR THIS!!
Omg this is sooooooo mindblowingly delicious!!!!! A feast for the senses!!!!
You are such àn inspiration - every detail. WOW
Wow, thank you! I'm so happy you loved it!! ❤️
Towards the end it almost looked like you were playing scales for a short moment. I have never seen that before in a piece, but I liked it. Great job!
Thank you! They are actually called "arpeggios", basically kind of a scale but skipping a few notes and playing the 1-3-5-8 notes of the scale! ❤️🎹
This is so incredible beautful! ❤💙💜💛💚🖤
Thank you Jennie!
Bravo!!!!!!!!!!!😍
Austonishing..
Beautiful and magical Jennifer!
Thanks so much Doug. :)
