Music Video Upside Down Music Video Taylor

Johnson has had some pretty interesting music videos in the past. Including the ones above, "Upside Down" and "Taylor".

Johnson recorded the soundtrack for the 2006 movie Curious George. This song went well with the movie, as Curious George was a monkey who was often hanging upside down and looking on the world in wonderment. The song had appeal far beyond the movie, as the gentle message of looking at things from a different perspective resonated with listeners. It became Johnson's first Top 40 hit, and helped the Curious Georg soundtrack become the first soundtrack to an animated film to hit #1 since Pocahontas in 1995.

In the video 'Taylor' The song tells the story of three characters. The main character is Taylor, a sweet, young, innocent, lonely little girl, who is searching to find her heart. In the story, Taylor works the night shift, passing out tickets to patrons who want to see her dancing. All this time, Taylor is dreaming of a paradise where sadness is unknown. However, things turn sour when a secret about her life reveals a sudden change.
