I'd been thinking about how all relationships in life — from human lovers to the way gravity holds us to the planet — are all about push and pull. I think this push and pull is at the root of all ecstasy and misery. And the sweet spot between this, is intimacy. This is what I feel when I hear Samuel Herring of Future Islands sing "so faraway" in the song, An Apology. It's what I feel when I hear him sing "Here, in my chest where you burst, I keep the crush and the weight of the world."br br The moment where we connect with each other against "the weight of the world" is the essence of this video. Most of our subjects were real couples we found. In one case, we used an actor. And in three cases, we paired people together who had not kissed before. A big part of the video is the song's sound, which feels more like something they teased out of the world. It's like a song found in the ruins of an ancient amusement park where lovers once walked together.
