I've recently taken up with a partner to produce our own vision of what film should look like as fresh juice*strong coffee media. We've been running around working ourselves silly in production of a documentary and in pre-production of a commercial spec. On top of all that, I was recently awarded a grant to work on yet another documentary with another collaborator/friend of mine (YAY!). While I love to be busy and feel validated, there are only so many hours in a day and just the other morning I awoke to a battered body that felt as if it had been through a meat grinder. Stress levels are high and the hours for rest have been low.
As a result, I'm just that much more jaded, my patience just a bit thinner so when I received an email with a link to the new Sigur Ros video Gobbledigook I had no other choice but to stop and think. Sigur Ros out of Iceland proves that surreal, ethereal music still exists in this loud, obnoxious, power hungry world. Maybe it’s too much so for some, but everyone needs a bit of this from time to time. I know I sure did.
This video for the song Svefn-G-Englar is from an older album. There aren’t any hot models, it’s just people who normally wouldn’t get a second look presented beautifully. They remind us that no matter how fast the world seems to be spinning things aren’t so bad and that even if you don’t have the money, the house, the car, the looks, the boy or the girl, joy is within your reach if you want it.
