The Escapist - The Streets
Loading...
Uploaded by thebeats on Jul 30, 2008
During a great period of intense mixing we decided that it might be nice to shoot a video. This isn't the way the record industry works and so it was under the radar of the label and done totally for us by us on a shoe string. It was totally different from any other promo that I've made in that it was something real that we just filmed rather than trying to create something real looking using lots of people and lots of angles. I feel like it's more than a video in that sense. Aswell as looking quite odd without all the singing and quick cuts

@NYCBostero - Mad Respect for sharing that with us, life comes at a price, sometimes we dont realise that until we have no choice but to deal with it, but theres comfort in music, friends and the things that we hold close. My heart goes out to you son, hold strong,

@Nutz9891 *pours drink on the ground* It's been quite a ride. I'll never forget the first time, inebriated out of my mind, that I heard the beauty of The Streets. It was Quakecon 2005. I'll never quit listening. Thank you Mike.

@NYCBostero
my thoughts and prayers are going out to you and your moms.
got a hella hard lump in my throat reading this. i know these are just words that fingers pushed buttons to send a signal through wires but really my heart goes out to you.

It's interesting seeing him walk through the village of Oradour-sur-glane at 2:00. Its the village that the Nazi's massared the entire 650 population and razed it to the ground. Such a lonely place.
