So much time spent with text can be mind-numbing. And sometimes I need a break from all the letters of the alphabet running tangents through my head. One of my favorite escapes is music. Even better if I can find music that tells a story ... because at my heart I'm a storyteller, and that's something I never tire of.
So, for any of you who've been slaving over sentences and scenes or even just typing up things for your boss or your business, I offer this haitus via a beautiful heartbreaking story set in a post-apocolyptic setting, told only through song and computer animation. A feast for the ears and eyes, and an escape for the weary mind.
Enjoy.
Note: I am not the creator of this video. I found it on Youtube and fell madly in love. It's actually a clip from a short movie that has words spoken throughout. Here's the link for anyone interested in watching the original.
Thank you for indulging my tribute to the muse of music, and have a lovely week. :)
That's haunting and beautiful. Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI bet the creators of Wall-E are feeling pretty stupid right about now. That was SO cool. And creepy. And sad. *sigh*
ReplyDeleteWow. That was beautiful. And very, very sad.
ReplyDeleteLori~ You're welcome. And yeah, it captivated the instant I heard the voice. Then I saw the incredible animation and I was HOOKED.
ReplyDeleteBethany~ Are you playing hookie at work? LOL. And you crack me up w/the Wall-E ref. Hee.
Cherie~ I know. It broke my heart at the end. Sniff. But it was worth it. ;)
I totally just watched it again. Un-freaking-believable.
ReplyDeleteHey Katey~ Oh, yeah! I posted this on your blog once. I know, it's addictive, right?

ReplyDeleteCourt~ Me, too! Her music is so ethereal. It takes you to another world and submerses you.
ReplyDeleteLeigh~ Haha! Yeah, probably not many people actually sat through it, judging by my sparse comments. But I'm still glad I posted it! It touched my heart so I had to share. :) Thanks for checking it out!
That song in the background was g.o.r.g.e.o.u.s.
ReplyDeleteCaitlin~ It was, wasn't it? I use that song a lot for sad/ emotional scenes. It really inspires me!
