The world has taken a dark turn in recent weeks, globally and locally. The bright spark of Egypt aside, there's little beauty or uplifting distraction out there.
But when I see this video, I am overwhelmed by the beauty and sheer creative energy of artists at work. This is an incredible testament to the desire to push the limits of an artistic genre. Who'd have thought the music video could go this deep, this intensely beautiful. I applaud the directors and thank them for the creative respite they've provided in their incredibly moving imagery.
A great artist is truly capable of soothing dark hearts. Only the arts can play this role. Music and art are the great emancipators from the tedious, the hateful, the intensely ugly. No art form, in my opinion, does this better than music. But this incredible marriage of music and visual art is truly wonderful. Please enjoy.
