a rainy monday...

i follow an artist's blog; his name is Jesse and he lives in California. he posted this yesterday... i really like the video itself as much as the song. it reminds me of the time in my life when i wanted to create music videos... i might've made something like this... it isn't earth shattering or ground breaking, but i think it expresses the song well.

what i like:
the use of textures
that it's in black and white
the way it uses slow motion to contrast the techno
the use of reflection
the way each scene's focal point is created... the woman's wrinkled hands against black background, the woman in a black coat with a grayed background, the shift in focus from the building to the man's face...
the consistent patience of the pace to tell the story-that it never breaks the pace
isolating the individual from life's continuing pace
and the diversity of people used.

and i really love the lyrics.
