Rainer Maria - "I'll Keep It With Mine"
Back when Sean used to do this every day, he posted Nico's version of this song, and it like, soundtracked my summer. This is admittedly a poorer interpretation, but interesting. Where Nico delivers the lyrics showing the whites of her eyes, Caithlin De Marrais is looking at her shoes, hand outstretched, as she says "give it to me". She's standing on a rainy street in old shoes that she regrets buying because they hurt her feet, and with only a five-dollar bill and a doodle of "Il Duce" in her pocket. Where Nico is a steady, dipping walk, De Marrais is an all-night drive.

So this is the second in a (hopefully) continuing series of visual accompaniments. The show was literally last night, so excuse the lack of cuts. Though the fuzziness and occasional bursts of synchronicity are completely deliberate (it's slowed down to 97% its original speed to get that).
The show was good, but only good. I just keep wanting him to embrace his performance style and put on crazy make-up and have a dance all ready. At least for one song. Maybe "An Actor's Revenge".
[Buy the best (at this point) album of the year]

1. the way the first song is the colour of smoke.
2. the way your video is the colour of rubies.

Posted by dan at March 29, 2006 2:38 AMWow, I love the video. The fuzziness and the way his face goes in and out of focus are awesome. This is a weird thing to say, but I think it looks like watching the concert via ultrasound. Or maybe I'm the one inside the womb, and its some kind of reverse ultrasound. Yep, that is as weird in written form as it was inside my head. Thoughts?
