Distant Lights by Painted Raven - Native American Flute and Guitar

"The stars are the spirits of our ancestors watching over us."
Many cultures believe this to be true, and if you've ever had the opportunity to view the night time sky alone on a very clear night you might also come to share this same belief.
About the video:
You're not seeing double, nor are they twins... just Annette cloning herself in order to finally be able to accompany herself on Native American Flute. As a matter of fact, Annette is playing all the instruments in the recording of "Distant Lights" from Painted Raven's CD titled "Mirage."
"Distant Lights" was inspired by one night's spectacular view of the Southwestern desert night time sky, and is dedicated to those who have traveled on to the next world ahead of us.
The video is rich in metaphor and symbolism... The light beams symbolize entering and departing this world. The time-lapse photography backgrounds, created in part by Annette, and also borrowed from the extremely gifted photographer, Mike Flores, symbolize the brevity of this world. The additional layer of floating orbs in the video symbolize the spirit's journey on to the next world. Annette appearing twice symbolizes and is dedicated to two of her loved ones that passed on in the same year.
Painted Raven is the Native American Flute and World Music duo of Annette Abbondanza and David Rose.
