An EZO Productions Music Video

Shot on Location in Grand Rapids, MI and at Golden Hour Studios in Ada, MI

Lyrics:

I thank these walls, my hideaway
My sanctuary to worship the pain
I never thought I'd leave the cave
But I'm more curious than afraid

Stacking layers like sediment
Each one adding weight and compression
And I am tired of forming a cliff face inside of my chest now
My ribs ache from carrying it around

Craning my neck, I'm looking up
I'm grieving all that I gave up
Eyes focused on a pin of light
Arcturus beaming on a summer night

Do you wonder who's looking back?
Another life-form on some undiscovered planet
A mirror image of us here, but they're pointing up at our sun and
Asking themselves
What exists beyond, beyond, beyond, beyond?

This blinding light, this reckoning
There's more to life than suffering
But there's still time, it's not too late
Nothing will change until I change.

3:07 the license plate being “TCW 2010” is so funny

[greenyonder]

Shout out to the stellar acting abilities of the 2 leads. This was such a moving story. I was charmed.

[Sleeptalking-dz]

Oh my god! I wasn’t expecting a music video!! The Crane Children are being well fed. Thank you Crane Wives!

[ArthritisMorgan]

I SWEAR THIS ALBUM IS GOING TO CHANGE THE TRAJECTORY OF MY LIFE

[callumkrueger]

the real queerness here is the love between an ohioan and a michigander... ty for the representation of that specifically it meant more to me than I expected

[denizwithz]

I feel nostalgic towards a time I've never experienced

[FirebirdEternal]

Incredible. The delivery on "nothing will change until I change" hits like a crashing wave. Have had to listen to it over and over again already just letting it sink in

[lexi-bankz]
