I'm more appreciative of this now, on the foundation that it Does have better sound than the other still-pic version, although I look at it with mixed feelings still.

Seems like it would go better with The Hexx:

"But I, I saw you.. reeling in a parking lot, / I, I saw you rallying round a parking lot, / Line up for the comfort and kick it on the bumper,/ No, there is no leeway / you're standing on the freeway in love, / Motion, you were destined for the paupers grave..."

@FungusMossGnosis I hear what you are saying but I dont think Ill remake this to the Hexx... I may be contradicting myself here, but...I treat youtube as a sort of reactionary / improvisational space. I can have an idea, do some work, and intervene/participate, but I dont take anything I place here very seriously. It's like fishing. Cast a lure out there and see what you get... I usually dont get much back, but I like our dialogue. So thats like a decent size trout, after a hike.

Love your taste in music, but I have no idea at what you're driving at with this.

[pjbaldes]

@FungusMossGnosis hmm... what am I driving at with this? I suppose I was trying out a few different things. Using the vernacular generic language of sketchup to describe and contrast "a secret knowledge" sketchup is not secret, nor is the scene depicted a backroad. To use sketchup as a video generating tool to subvert big budget film set ideas. Using repetition of figure to emphasize my reading of the lyrics as sort of hopeless and repetitive. Make a video for a song without a video quickly.

@FungusMossGnosis I take issue with the idea of ppl uploading still images for songs to youtube. It seems like a vanity move, they get hits off of others work. they benefit through no effort of their own. the least one can do is make an effort to create a visual interpretation of the thing (song) they appreciate.

[pjbaldes]

too super dramatic?

[FungusMossGnosis]

@pjbaldes

Heh, good answer. 'Course I didn't expect you'd remake the video to fit 'The Hexx'! Just thought I'd mention the uncanny resemblance to the lyrics. A more literal resemblance to be sure.

no video version is better, but htis has higher quality. i pick this.

@pjbaldes

Well, it's an essayer -- an attempt at expressing some personal interpretation, and that's gotta count for something. But I admit I sort of take issue with people that advertise their videos as Way Better and I get a weird, distracting cartoon that makes me think less about the song. Personally, I'd rather have total darkness.

I see your point, and it makes sense to have a new video on youtube to go with the song you're uploading. I'm here primarily for the songs, though.

see's it all there, see's it behind him...
