I don't often just stick a YouTube clip on a post, but this time I have to.
My son has just had this video made for his group's (Black City Lights) song "Rivers", and I think it is great.
View, listen and enjoy. (Really much better in full screen mode)
Great. I like it. Both the music and the video - clever editing.
ReplyDeleteIs the smashing light bulg a reference to Callan?
Does y'son know Richard of RBB?. The Old guy lurking around could be a reference to him.
I noticed the bible!
I guess the girlie shots were an homage to his old man.
Thanks TC, I think it's pretty good.
DeleteMy goodness, Callan, that takes me back.
Seeing that the video was shot in NY by a 23 year old expatriate Austrian, I doubt that the Callan reference was part of his Weltanschauung.
I don't think m'son has met Richard. He's never made any reference to strange double bass players.
The bible bit was the only thing I didn't like (plus the cigarette smoking)...and I didn't understand why the bible reader had a dog on his arm? Maybe a reference to HMV?
I HAD ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH THE GIRLIE SHOTS.
Nice though, especially the bit where she tore of her T-shirt.
Brilliant!
ReplyDeleteThanks, I'm very proud.
DeleteOf course he gets all his creative ability from me.
Excellent! I'm not surprised you are "proud dad"!

Thanks Di,
DeleteI'm always proud of him, but this was a lovely extra.
Comeinyourpants (referring to The Curmudgeon for those who dobn't read my blog), that wasn't me lurking but it could have been Second reading the bible. Also Comeinyourpants could have been one of the woman (on an honorary basis).
ReplyDeleteMorning TSB. Congratulate your son - this is very good. I really enjoyed it.
Good point about the "Honorary Woman". Actually I'm surprised he ever mentioned it...do you think he's going through "The Change"
DeleteThanks Richard, I'll pass your message to m'son
Awesome stuff TSB. I wish them a very successful future including lots of $$$$$$.
DeleteThanks VG, I've already told him that a nice little vineyard on Waiheke Island will do us nicely.
DeleteVery good, I enjoyed the music and video. I can see why you're proud x
ReplyDeleteThanks for that. I liked it too, but I'm just a we bit biased.
DeleteWho's a proud dad then....
ReplyDeleteThanks Tempo, I sure am.
DeleteVery good. A touch of the old Scottish gloom at the edges perhaps but it's very well made.
ReplyDeleteThanks looby. Scottish Gloom?
DeleteWhatever gave you the idea that the Scots were a dour, grouchy bunch of doom-laden introspective masochits. Apart from the bloody climate that is.
Enjoyed it so much I had a listen to some of the other stuff on YT as well. Great video - there did seem to be an homage to the pervy side of his old man I thought but reading replies to some of the comments I see you'd nothing to do with it {an Austrian in NY indeed. What will they think of next - an Austrian as governor of California?}
ReplyDeleteI can see why you're a proud Dad. Even if he did get his creativity from his Mum........
Thanks Alistair, although I'm not too sure about your 'pervy' comment. A tad lecherous perhaps, but not pervy.
DeleteFunnily enough, his mum is tone deaf.
you're right TSB - my apologies. Not the word I should have used. So-reee
DeleteNo need to say sorry Alistair, and to be honest, there's not that much difference.
DeleteLots of interesting iconic images juxtiposed and beautifully made video. Their song reminds me of a Kiwi Dubstep band (I don't really know what Dubstep means) called Mt Eden who went viral recently. How incredibly to have such a talented lad in the house. I despair of my kids, they were fired by the piano teacher.
ReplyDeleteThanks ALW, I've never heard of Dubstep or Mt Eden, but I'll ask my son for more information on them. Don't despair, my boy was also fired by his piano teacher because he refused to do any practice.
DeleteHoly crap! No wonder you're proud. It's better than most vids produced by pros! Well done, Son of TSB.
ReplyDeleteThanks Austan. He didn't actually produce the video, he commisioned a NY based director, but the music is his.
DeleteCool music and classy video. The music seems really original to me, not that I am much of an expert on genres. You have a talented son.
DeleteI agree about the Bee Gees (re your comment on my blog, ) by the way!
Thank you Jenny, I think it's original as well, and I'm just a boring old fart (quote from one of my trendy pupils)
DeleteWow, really well done. I can see why you are proud.
ReplyDeleteThank you, *sob, wipes tear from eye* I just hope his success allows him to move into his own flat.
DeleteNice, very cool.
ReplyDeleteRight on DaddyOh
