Elizabeth Mitchell - Ong Tal Sam (Little Spring)

This is the animated music video for "Ong Tal Sam" ("Little Spring") from Elizabeth Mitchell's 2010 album "Sunny Day". Originally a Korean song, here sung in both English and Korean, "Ong Tal Sam" tells the story of a little spring in the mountains, and the bunny who comes to visit.

In 2010, Elizabeth Mitchell and You Are My Flower released "Sunny Day", their second Smithsonian Folkways album of "handmade" music of the finest kind, for folks of all ages. A true family affair, the album features performances with Mitchell's husband and musical partner, Daniel Littleton, their nine-year-old daughter Storey, and Storey's cousins and friends.

As Mitchell explains, "Our beloved violinist Jean Cook taught us this Korean song that she had learned from her mother. When she is not singing about bunnies and playing violin with us, Jean is the director of the Future of Music Coalition—traveling the globe to Ethiopia, Tajikistan, and beyond, making the world a better place for musicians. We had so much fun singing and recording the xylophones together!"
— Elizabeth Mitchell, from the liner notes to album "Sunny Day"
