When my husband & I were filming this at Lincoln Park in Seattle, there was a kids' camp happening behind us. There were a bunch of kids yelling \"oh my gosh it's a princess!!\" while we filmed on the beach, and then later \"Look!! The princess!! She's going into the water! She's getting her dress wet!!!\"
After getting very cold in the Puget Sound & getting the dress thoroughly ripped to shreds & covered in seaweed & fish-smells, I changed into a sweatshirt & leggings to warm up....but the kids weren't fooled by the disguise. I saw a couple of the camper girls a few minutes later...they didn't think I could hear them but they were pointing and whispering to each other \"She's the princess!\"
I said \"Yes I am the princess, AND YOU are princesses too!\" They seemed unsure about it for a minute & then decided that they agreed.
Thanks again to Exclaim! Magazine for the music video premiere of \"Ever After\" - and special thanks to everyone who has been sharing & spreading the word!

Lyrics:
I wish you would stay
Please don’t go
Baby I need you now
More than ever
And if you leave
Leave me alone
I don’t know if I could find the way back
To square one
Let’s go
Back to the start
When our hearts were young
We were in love
It was only us
Ever after
Where did we go wrong
Cause I don’t know
It’s been miles now
We’ve been running down this road
Let’s turn around
Let’s go back home
Take my hand
And we can find the way out
Of the storm
Let’s go
Back to the start
When our hearts were young
We were in love
It was only us
Ever after
