Lighthouse

Double dog dare you to not keep your eyes glued to the screen while you watch this brand new, entirely captivating video from an incredibly talented duo called NewVillager. The song itself is brillantly upbeat and hopeful while the video brings it to a whole new level. Mystery, enchantment, mythology, fire, ice, good, evil, love, sex, death, birth, a lighthouse. According to their website, NewVillager is attempting to create their own mythology (that explains the symbol at the beginning and the new Olympians of sorts that are seated) because they believe that the truly great music artists in the world have more than just great music. They give the example of Michael Jackson. He created a legacy. Symbols, not just music. Prince- his own mythology. And the Beatles: "Paul is dead". I might be able to jive with that...But until I'm done pondering the deep meanings hidden within, I just want to say that one of the greatest parts of this project is that the costumes are made out of common household objects. I mean, a mop. Genius.

In other news, I ran a thirteen miles today and that is currently my all-time favorite way to de-stress, relax, and get energized all at once. I ran up a mountain today. I ran past cows. And I ran next to an airport and saw some planes take off. I smelled the exhaust. I met a local man in a run down general store who pointed me to the road that I wanted to take. I love my town.
