I couldn't really find a storyline to go with this beautiful song, so I decided to just put together a montage some of the things around Columbia that I really like. I'm especially fond of hidden beauty, and the wild roses and blackberries are growing in a thicket near my house. The tree with the gorgeous pink flowers is a Persian Silk Tree, and the fragrance of the flowers is absolutely heavenly. That tree is my favorite part of my morning walks.
The mural at the end of the video is painted on the retaining wall of the neighborhood where I live. It's a consistent reminder that beauty and art are everywhere, if you open up your eyes, heart, and mind to them.
The message of the song is wonderful, but the part that always carries me away is the end, with that beautiful breakdown into a capella. The chorus takes on an almost ethereal quality reminiscent of Gregorian chant.
As always, if you love the song, it's available on cdbaby, iTunes, and amazon.com. I recommend buying the whole albums, though, because every song that he produces is a well-crafted, beautifully executed work of art.
Hey, disliker! I challenge you to make a better video for this song and post it as a response to mine. If you can do better than I did, go for it!

@polgara28 Neither can I! Mike Rodriguez of the Audionowcast said that it's probably going to be his best one yet. I can't wait to hear "Soul Print."

@polgara28 Thank you! The biggest reason I'm putting these videos together is so that people can share his music with others. I want people to be able to hear his music and love it as much as we do. Martin even said that videos on youtube are being sent back and forth between users like they're letters. Why shouldn't Martin's amazing work be used for that purpose, too?
