my dad passed away 3 moths ago and I cannot find the reason in this, he was 58, but hearing the song and sseing the video totally comforted me and gave me a sense of "that is the naturalway things happen, and nobody can do more than enjoying the ride" totally blew me away, the song is on repeat and I even have it as a ringtone...GREAT JOB!!!
That video got my personal "positif of the year" award right away :) Great job - and I certainly can see where the insipiration for certain things came from. Somehow Bardo Thodol comes to my mind and everything else that starts with psy-
That grey dot is a bit clueless, bless him, but the black dot rawks! ^_^
I enjoyed the commentary very much: it explains some part of the video and leaves a lot to each of us who watch to make our own interpretations. Which is nice.
You have been very clever and insightful with the imagery you have chosen (intended or not). The toy trailer, the over stuffed worn out bear - memories of childhood, in a masked celebration with overtones of El Día de los Muertos, the characters attempt to recapture youth (the pear a chinese symbol of longevity) in fear of death, only to be spirit guided that the end is not necessarily the end and should not be feared. Forget the complexities of daily ritual and just get on with it - brilliant.

I honestly <3 Joel Trussell's work far too much to say anything unbiased and intelligent.
Maybe in a week I will look back and say something of value but for now...

That is a very good point gbardon. The album art is a marine theme to go with the title. I also feel the video could have reflected this.
