What...no happy sunshine and singing birds?
Nora, could you explain concept of this song for you to video tape in gothic mood and singing in a grave yard?
Notwithstanding the theme, I thought production is professionally done...and even better than the N&M video.

Sure

This Song is about 2 different polarities:
Pessimism & Optimism
Black & White
Do or Die
"Carpe Diem" - as I sing in the Song.

The "dark" character represents pessimism - in the beginning, I sing:

When The Moment comes your way,
Never let it slip away....oh no...

"Carpe Diem", or so they say,
Makes no sense to me, anyway...

....and it never will....

Why should I make a move,
When there's nothing left to
Prove to anyone....anymore....?

Is there more for me to learn?
Is there a fire inside that burns?

**shift to optimism / "light"**

OH, YES THERE IS!!

So, the song goes back & forth between those dynamics.
The statues are there to show permanent "loss / anguish" for lost Moments.

The part of me singing in the graveyard came to me late....we lost that entire verse footage & had to do it over.
For whatever reason, "A Christmas Carol" came into my head - particularly, "The Ghost of Christmas Future".

The graveyard represents "lost moments / opportunities" that are literally "dead & gone".
BUT ~ I'm standing there in a red coat - as in, "I'm alive - here's your last chance warning to go after what you want.
Seize The Moment".

What is the N&M video?

Oh, and one more thing:

The Butterfly at the end was a caterpillar...
...but seized The Moment ~ and changed.

Wow!

A great song this is, usually do not like videos (unless live) but this is great!
Congratulations on a great song AND video! Great imagery and editing!
Wish we could get this song on this years Melodic Rock CD...Andrew?

You guys did a great job on that. I can't say that is my kind of music, but I can sure appreciate the talent behind it. If Starship ever wanted to start up with a new singer, you would be perfect.

Neal&Michaela (or I should have said Journey Resonate).. The back and forth splicing shots of the band and N&M's canoodling on the beach were done amateurishly (as some posters mentioned in the other thread), while the quality of your video looked top-notched.

Thanks for dissecting the song for me. The tone came across a little dark (to me) ...but good job overall with the presentation.

OK - I gave it a fair shot.

Sad thing is - love Neal's tone; very piercing and recognizable.
It's not a bad song, IMO...

....but I had to minimize the window & listen, not watch the makeout sessions....

Sorry; erased this by accident before....

I edited this Song in iMovie - using the "Aged Film" effect for the day shots & the "Soft Glow" effect for the night shots.
Didn't cost me a dime.

Thank you Annie, Rick, and Scarab for your honest feedback; I realize that not everyone is going to like everything, but I appreciate that you-all took the time to watch our video.

bumping for one of the best new songs of 2011.
any1 who has not heard this CD, listen and go get it

Great job on all fronts, song and video!

Big Bump for my friend Nora! For having the guts I lack and the talent I envy! Love this CD girl!
