If There Is Any News (by Skist)

Skist is the duo of Haruna Ito and Samm Bennett. They are based in Tokyo. This is a song from their 2nd release on Polarity Records, entitled "Taking Something Somewhere".

IF THERE IS ANY NEWS

If there is any news
let it climb this hill
to find us here
waiting

Still think this flare is temporary?
look again
it grows and heats the center
and everything is slowly stepping back
to give it room
urge it to breathe

We're all drawn here
from curiosity
and its burns are not so frightening
anymore

Timid and wordless and watching
from here, we can see
most of the whole circle
and still hungry we strain to catch
the next one coming.

I love this, Very simple cool visual concept. Very affective. Much more moving than most typical videos. Nice compliment to a beautifully hypnotic piece of music.
