'''Face Down''' is the most (if not only) playful and joyous video from the [[Album: Emancipation|Emancipation]] era, being a pure comedy despite its angry and tongue-in-cheek lyrics. It was likely shot in late Winter - early Spring 1997 at [[Paisley Park Studios]], Chanhassen, Minnesota. | '''Face Down''' is the most (if not only) playful and joyous video from the [[Album: Emancipation|Emancipation]] era, being a pure comedy despite its angry and tongue-in-cheek lyrics.

The first is a funeral, with a figure dressed as [[Prince]] (wearing clothes from the [[Act II]] tour face down in an open casket. A mourner in a large black hat and holding [[Mayte]]’s dog is shown crying over the body and accepting condolences. At the end of the video, the mourner is revealed to be [[Prince]] and not [[Mayte]]. The second setting is an amusing scene in which [[Prince]] is telling a psychotherapist (played by [[Kat Dyson]]) his story while she listens with disinterest. The third setting is a performance with [[The NPG]]. Humour is also added to the performance when [[Prince]] yells "horns" or "orchestra": he is shown playing saxophone next to two other members of [[The NPG]] and then playing a fiddle with a huge grin on his face (and for the first time in public wearing boots with no high heels). | ||
The version of [[Face Down]] used for the video is an alternate mix with a vocal intro. A slightly censored ('clean version') of the video also exists. | |||
