the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, and he's got promises to keep. nice.good to see there's more to music videos than stop motion and shitty cell phone res cinematography.

Can't realy explain why... but i realy realy love that video...Everything is at the right balance, and eventhough nothing happens, there's a lingering tension and a softness that brings me toward the end without thinking.
nice

a bit like cursed sleep meets conventional wisdom. liked it some (bonus points for vimeo hd), but not entirely sure about how him&her and the end was played.framescourer, April 12, 2008 8:56:47 PM CEST
There's something a little bit Wicker Man (NSFW) about it all. Rich and arresting, although I agree there's a narrative shortfall.matei-alexandru mocanu, April 12, 2008 9:03:02 PM CEST
@progosk - vimeo is king indeed@framescourer - good point, same kind of god forgotten/ neo pagan community

Almost as fresh as the air looks...shame its so stagey, and the heavy handed vignette.
