I don't know if you are going to take this as a compliment or what, but I was actually most impressed with that outstanding video. My friend Tim Kressing won the Youtube.com Singular sponsored (I think it was singular... well some phone company anyway) contest last year for a video he did using stop action called 'Destiny's Calling Done Backwards', and won 15,000 dollars. Your video was WAY better than his and more time consuming, you should enter a contest like that. Although you may not have the unlimited resources of an entire private school voting for you every night for weeks without any indication that they have a life of their own, or anything better to do. As for the music itself, im curious as to why once again the lyrics are about God, and 'Does He really exist?' Honestly, if I had a dollar for every time I heard a line about this, "Is God really out there... I doubt it, so shut up and stop trying to convert me", or something to that affect from Prog and more prominently in Prog Metal I would be a rich man. Please come up with some more original lyrics Prog artists, asking the question will barely convince even yourself of the answer you want to hear. ------------- 1 Chronicles 13:7-9 Then David and all Israel played music before God with all their might, with singing, on harps, on stringed instruments, on tambourines, on cymbals, and with trumpets. |

$15,000????? Are you serious?? If I knew of any competitions I'd definitely enter! The whole reason why I did the vid was to promote the band... I wonder if there are any other comps out there?
Yeah, fair point, except that wasn't my point at all. I was actually having a whinge at people who say that, for the exact reasons that you mention. So in essence we're in complete agreement : ) |

It was definitely interesting, to say the least. I enjoyed it very much as it's one of my favorite themes in band videoclips, that is to shoot something about the band itself. Don't get me wrong, videos should boast some conceptual artistry in harmony with their song - instead of sheerly commercial lures and limelight-yearning narcissism -, but I believe that to direct your attention at the very foundry of that music, the band itself, yields a more intimate exposure and appreciation. For instance, you get your musical background with the influences, a little on how it came together, a humourous side (laughed my a$$ off with the Guile bit  ) and best of all, the process of creation and the creators themselves. Well, that's my opinion, anyway. Although I did like the vid, the song didn't seem to have much to do with it - granted, tough, it is tough to get a serious theme that actually connects with that "visual aid" -, maybe a video like that needed something more abstract as concept; nevertheless, fantastic video, very well done, imo, and the music was also very enjoyable, I think the only think stopping that sound from succeeding is the fact that the music industry today is floating in a demographicly studied piece of scatological tunes (yeah, so I was listening to In Absentia this morning, bite me  ) and the sad fact that it's labeled as prog.  Hope to see more  -------------  |
