What I like about this video: a list.
- Chorus is a legendary sample from Hair
- Mike Doughty’s totally unique vocal blend
- Song is a statement on PTSD, which is a GIANT, unspoken epidemic facing the nation right now
- Slide projector!*
- Golden lighting when the sunshine is in fact, let in
- Sing along and get chills at the same time
*My parents shot all our family vacation photos on slides until I was about 10. To this day I love setting up the screen, or clearing a wall, dusting off the projector and doing slideshows (digital rocks too, but isn’t the same awesomely analog experience).
Unknown boxes of tiny mysteries, the smell of old boxes and cartridges, the projector getting jammed, the small dust particles that dance in the air as your memories project, intertwined with the light of the machine. Amazing.
