There are several things going on here at once -- there's the song itself by a young fellah named Leon Bridges. The backing group is a trio from Houston called Khruangbin, whom I'll feature in videos of their own a little further down the road. But mostly I'm sold on this video, which is quite creative in its own right. The landscape reminds me of back home in southeastern Washington state -- an area called the Palouse -- which looks a lot like this, basically dry farm and range land. So many different echoes and shades of feeling for me here.
But I'm really posting this because it's a love song and Valentine's Day falls on this weekend. Now, I probably haven't celebrated V-Day in any form in a dozen years or so. If you've somehow survived your life thus far with your sense of romance intact, and you're not completely jaded and haven't become a closed-hearted cynic, well -- my hat's off to you, then. Enjoy the video.
