Pt. 2 of 2: Tony Rogers - "Call the press and send their best" (Official Music Video)

I'm Tony Rogers, and this is the first music video to coincide with my new "Sycamore" album.

It's an experimental exploration into the unique and powerful emotions that exist between fathers and daughters; it features the genuine reactions of 35 real women of all ages, all in the act of being surprised by their dads.

The video is meant to be enjoyed in conjunction with "Call the press and send their best" pt. 1 of 2 (the "making of" mini documentary): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=grVvwSZWb3I. It was a life-affirming experience to make both short films; I hope it will be the same for everyone watching it.

You can check out my entire "Sycamore" album on iTunes or name your price to download it now at http://tonyrogers.bandcamp.com/. You can also see more of my work at http://iliketonyrogers.com/.

Oh my god right here you are, I can’t believe we’re actually here

Call the press and send their best reporter for the story of the year

Hold my sleeve and pinch my arm and take me by the hand

Let me know what it must feel like in a promised land

[thegood515]

Look at all the girls they’ll sure be talking about this Monday at my school, cool

Can we get a Polaroid before the camera breaks my spell then you’ll

Hold my sleeve and pinch my arm and take me by the hand

So I will know what it will feel like in a promised land

You might be surprised at all the men in my life

I’m just like everybody here

[thegood515]

Let’s remember every detail of this grand, extraordinary night

Years from now when we are old we’ll laugh about how everything went right

Hold my sleeve and pinch my arm and take me by the hand

Now I know what it must feel like in a promised land
