I can't help but feel this as the music being an accessory to the video rather than a music video.

Great work. A story of a long distance relationship using a current day technology and an unexpected ending, which certainly leaves the viewers connecting the dots their own way.

Very emotional and beautiful, love the ending, it is just perfect. Those who say they don't understand it must miss a lot of empathy and sense of poetry... Music is peaceful, great discovery !! Thank you !!

That's a deep emotional picture, in my opinion. A husband, who is far away, is finding out that his wife is pregnant goes through an emotional roller coaster. The technology definitely narrows the physical distance between them, but ... a human touch and presence in real life are exactly that - human and real. He feels that he is missing out on something really important - the change his wife is going though because of their baby. My guess is, he is trying to recreate the feeling and sensation that of his wife by wearing the fake pregnancy belly. Obviously it is only visual, but that is his way of connecting to her and a future child without being present there physically.
But that's just my opinion.

This is absolutely gorgeous, the song and video both,

I love the ending... And the reason why it's because it made people feel something... Whatever that feeling was for each person... It made an impact on them, it got them talking, wondering, discussing, and I think that's the idea after all, make people feel something with your art.

I bursted out laughing because of the ending, it killed the whole sad vibe for me 😂😂😂

Bravo Simon and all of the wonderful Cast, Crew, and Musicians involved with this project!!! What an awesome way to turn the last minute cancellation into a TRIUMPH! Be well, stay encouraged, and Happy Holidays from Tampa Florida!

[EMPERORCEASAR]

This is a really great video! What makes it better is that this was uploaded on my birthday!

[WorldofColton]

I could see the low budget but honestly the creativity used in portraying the story was priceless. This video was so unique. Simon, you did a wonderful job creating it! Also, the music sounds great as well! Keep on creating.

waw, great video, didnt expect it at the end. real feelings!

[georgebardsley]

The silhouette shots were fab, but the ending was a little obscure. But it was a great music video 8.7/10

[chrryblssmz]

Wow, I did NOT expect that ending! Love this ♡

[andymarsal]

Must admit the final scene suprised me.

[deepaktulsyan]

I admire your work a lot. :-) @SimonCade

This wasn’t really a music video just a short film I can’t even remember the song. It just sounded like background music. This whole video is just like a snippet from a romance movie. I remember the other music video you did with the girl in the bed or whatever. It was the same problem. Your next music video listen to the song and build around that.

[miketeves]

Great job! I appreciate this more because of the video on DSLR Guide.

[AnandaGarden]

Thank you for presenting the process with unflinching honesty - it gives a very real perspective on the sheer hard work that's involved in producing anything of substance. I enjoyed the film - the story, editing, and especially the look.

[LocalBoyMakesMovies]

YES this is such a massive improvement from the rest of your work. I LOVE IT. It’s simple but effective and stylistically you took some great leaps and just UGH. You have so much potential, I still want to see a bigger project from you, especially because you have an audience of people who will actually watch it. I’d back a kickstarter, just saying. Anyways, great job Simon, coming from another filmmaker oddly enough named Simon.
