my sunlight
'know this' by remnant featuring scar, directed by nathan corrona
he does good work, that brother of mine. I'm so proud I could cry. and I did, actually. in the middle of the stupid coffee shop the other day when I first watched this. while people were eating their eggs and drinking their coffee and tap tap tapping away on their computers. you should know, I do not cry easily.
it's a love letter to color and light and I can't stop watching it. and I'm thankful that my kids are growing up with this kind of hip hop. I'm thankful when words and music and pictures come together like this, I'm so very thankful.
and I've got a brand new song to add to the list.

ReplyDeletei don't get excited about hip-hop as a general rule. but since you recommended it, i skeptically pushed play. and i can honestly say, i adore it with my whole heart.

ReplyDeleteI'm getting chills just thinking about when we were in the coffeeshop and I looked up to see your eyes welling up with tears. It was a bold moment - a very touching, moving moment that has stayed with me ever since. What a cool sister you are. Love you, babe. xoxoxox

ReplyDeleteFrom all the way down in New Zealand, I just have to tell you THANK YOU for introducing me to The Remnant. Just been listening to more tracks from their MySpace page, and JUST went and bought a few tracks (including this one) from iTunes.
