Gwen Stefani - Cool (Official Music Video)

[@veronicao4643]

There is a reason why they didn't end up together. And it looks like it was for the best. Sometimes loving someone and losing them is better than staying and making the relationship sour.

I was there, in Como the day they shoot it. She was very kind to me, she signed a poster for me, but I was so excited that I didn't think to bring a pen. So she took care of asking for one from those present. Her calm surprised me, as I was used to seeing her wild in No Doubt live videos. I regret not being able to express how important that meeting was for me, as I was 14 years old at the time. Gwen with No Doubt was part of my childhood; I adored her and considered her my idol. Even though I was 6 years old in 1997, I listened to her music and always dreamed of meeting her one day. That day came true in 2005 in Como! I could have had lunch at one of the tables next to hers, but due to some obstacles, I had to leave. Today, at 33years old, I look back and you can't imagine how much I regret it.

[@luckybilly4]

And i feel like that type of thinking is in itself idiolize. Why because people don't want to be truly happy and obsessed with pain. There is no reason why this type of relationship shouldnt work. Why it doesnt because people are inherently selfish and want their cake and eat it too or refuse tp move on. If you cant picture yourself in this type of relationship then you haven't truly moved on and are not confident enough to. Obvious exceptions are for abusive/toxic relationships but thats it.

And it actually feels good to experience this kind of relationship. Not everyone can. After all that we've been through, I know we're cool.

Everything about this video has a strong hidden message. The ones that the singer could never tell.

[@YesJellyfish]

+bartzky10- Yes I think it's such a beautiful performance! I used to take the song literal, but then when I watched the video closely, you can see that it's not completely cool and it will always be difficult. But if you really love and respect the other two people, you will try to deal with it. At least that's how I feel. It's sad but it shows how when you try to deal with tough situations like this in a mature way, in stead of having things black and white in let's say your teenage years. (not you personally, I mean in general)

+bartzky10- Maybe the video portrayed that, but the whole song was about her relationship with her old band member, who she is still good friends with.

This song really reminds me of my ex-boyfriend. We were dating when this song first got released back in 2005. We were only teens at the time. He really loved this song and so did I. He always talked about how cool it would be if we were still cool if we ever split up everytime we heard the song. I always told him not to talk such nonsense, naively thinking we would never break up. Anyways, we ended up parting ways. Didn't see or run into each other for years. We eventually ran into each other years later as adults and it wasn't awkward or anything. We hugged each other like we were old friends from childhood and chatted for a bit. But before we parted ways, he said to me, "We're cool, right?". I smiled and replied "Always". Thinking of the Gwen song we both adored as teens.

Today 19 years of this song ! ❤

[@chilenapromedioRU]

I love the fact that Gwen was able to create two masterpieces inspired by her feelings for her former bandmate Tony Kanal. "Don't Speak", initially a love song, it changed when he broke up the relationship wanting to remain just friends, becoming the classic we all know, love and relate to. Years late Gwen wrote "Cool" for Tony, inspired by her longstanding friendship after their long teenage romantic relationship. In fact, Tony's then girlfriend and current wife, Erin Lokitz, portrays the "New Girlfriend" in this video. LOVE IT 💜

[@nonnywinner5039]

Thanks for the information, have related to the song as that relationship you let go and they end up running back as a stranded 🐕

[@starikiozero]

Coocko cockoon, isn't it? I would not like to fly over such a nest

[@aftertaste05]

Not completely true. “Cool” was co-written by Dallas Austin (who also produced the song). Inspired by his relationship with TLC member Chilli. He was originally gonna give it to them, but after their breakup, they got another song instead. Gwen helped Dallas finish the lyrics because she connected with the song due to her relationship with Tony from No Doubt.

[@chilenapromedioRU]

@@aftertaste05 That's very interesting! Thank you. My knowledge was that Dallas Austin composed the music and after his own break-up he gave another song to TLC and this to Gwen, and that she had wrote the lyrics. But in fact the backstory of how it become the song we know it's very interesting and so connected with romantic relationships.
