I did want to shake up the series a bit. Everything was tending toward folk.<br /><br />I doubt the video's director intended any classical allusions.

(I did go through a Hardcore period of my musical listening, though it was pretty brief.) <br /><br />I also love the simple touch of the bleeding tree in the video, progressively introduced. I know it wasn't intended as any sort of classical allusion, but it did seem to infuse the traditional name-carved-in-the-tree with an Ovidian strangeness.Chestertonian Ramblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01550643992523840950noreply@blogger.com
