The music and video work perfectly together. Gripping theme and with the music, it just kept adding to the story. Really good stuff.

Thanks Kakku. Yea it went over really well, and sounded great in the movie theater where it screened. Very happy :-) And it might be screening again at the awards ceremony which, any chance to see something I did in a movie theater, I'm psyched for haha.

Very impressive track and fantastic video. Perhaps because you're obviously so accomplished though, I'm going to say, unlike many others, for me the track doesn't fit the video entirely. I'd agree with Kakku's comment that the track seems to lack the level of dynamics and intensity I'd expect watching the vid. I do have a penchant for electronica and atmospheric stuff, although I don't make it. I was watching the vid thinking of a recent track called 'The Ship' by Black Rivers, and although the mood may be different the level of 'over the edge'intensity they build in that track is kind of what I was hoping could happen here...

Nice one David!    
Quick question on the 2013 version -- you say "public domain footage" - so, that means you found some video on the internet somewhere, and you added your music to that?   Or, some other process?   I'm looking for some such "public domain footage" myself, just curious if there any recommendations you have how to source it ... thanks.

Masterofnone - I'm gonna check out that song you mentioned, but thanks for your comments. I just started talking with the director about our next video and I'm going to try to pick a song with more changes for the next one, so I can match a high quality video with a track that's got more changes to it, since that does seem to be the biggest criticism of "If Only Tonight I Could Sleep" (although personally I couldn't be happier with how it came out, but of course there's always room for improvement).
 
Ultrabra - Thanks, I'm assuming by 2013 version you mean my "Lights In The Sky" Music Video which was all put together with public domain footage? Yea I got all of it from archive.org ... You just have to do a LOT of digging to find something worth while.... There's literally 1000s of videos of people just standing there giving class lectures haha, so finding something that would look cool along with your own music is a process, but it's out there. Each piece of media on there has usage rights listed. I'm probably gonna do another one for one of my songs on the next album, just as sort of a tradition thing, do a public domain-based video for every album, since "Lights In The Sky" did so well for me last year.

Wow just wow!!!! That was powerful. I didn't get the significance of the coin until I read the first reply here.  The music goes well with the video and they are both fantastic imo. I too was expecting some vocals at first but got over it quickly.

Congrats on the award!
I like this a lot.
The music, on its own, is something I could draw to. It's not overly dramatic, yet it has the darkish tint of the steady grind of little things that push you to the brink.
The video isn't just something to watch while you listen to the song.
It shows the story, while the music sets the mood.
Nicely cohesive from where I sit.

Jablowmi... Beautiful people have problems too. Haha.

A member reported abuse and I came across its ticket. I closed it because I saw no abuse or anything that I would consider abuse. The video was outstanding and viewable by anyone. 
 
I don't know what is going on or what prompted the ticket but I would hope it doesn't happen again. 

Best
John

I really liked this.  When it started i was kind of  like ho-hum and i thought the editing and color grading was  so-so.  As the story unfolded everything seemed to fit more and the same things I thought as so-so fit more and more together.  The music and images really intertwined well .  i think this is awesome and I'm not the type to give gratuitous praise for the sake of forum ra-ra.  Well done!!!

Thank you dubdisciple. You know, the director told me that he did something with color where the events that were happening earlier in the story were colored slightly differently than events that were happening towards the end of the night/story... Basically his way of playing around with it since it's a music video and not a regular short film and trying something experimental. But yea, anyway, thanks, so glad you liked it!
 
And John, That's weird... I hope it doesn't happen again too. And thanks, I'm really glad you liked it.

Haha thanks Shawn. Glad you're liking the album. Album #2 is almost done. Well, not DONE...But almost to "alright time to go back over all these new songs I've been making lately and touch them up and make them as good as possible and then narrow it all down to the best 15 tracks" level of done. Haha.
