“Until We Bleed” — Kleerup featuring Lykke Li

No, really. Download it.

I’m attempting to convey something here, to translate the vocabulary of my heart.

Let me try that again: What I’m trying to do is provide a soundtrack for Mia Tyler ‘s photography, so I’d appreciate it if you’d just humor me for a minute, O.K.? (& that’s with a “please” & “thank you”)

I can’t tell you if it’s a song Miss Tyler would choose herself; hell, I don’t even know I’d pick it, if I were given the chance.  I don’t know much of anything, except that chance is how this intersection happened:

I flipped open my laptop, navigated my cursor and clicked the iTunes icon—you know the one, the CD symbol covered by a pair of musical notes?  They’re a water-cooler blue, the blue of an aquarium. A blue not unlike that of my screen-saver, but the click of another icon—planet earth engulfed in flames: the search engine, Firefox—eclipsed that hue when a page snapped open on this rectangle I gazed into, eyes skimming a page of tweets.  I don’t know that I’ll ever be comfortable with that phrase , a 140-characters-or-less challenge to “Think long thoughts in short sentences.” [Ferlinghetti]

But anyway, just as Lykke Li‘s ethereal voice crept through my speakers, I happened to be scrolling through these images.  The combination of Li’s sensual, airy timbre with Tyler’s photographs, delirious with warmth; the harrowing rise of bows stroking cello strings with the lyrics “Lights black; heads bang/You’re my drug/We live it…”

Well, I was sideswiped by emotion.

Enjoy,

WHOA.
I’ve watched this clip at least 20 times now–
without pausing for even the briefest “mental re-write,”

Tell me:
What’s your initial reaction?

:: tell me everything ::

My first thought?

Opening line, Sylvia Plath’s  poem “The Munich Mannequins”:

“Perfection is terrible, it cannot have children.”

For a statement that brilliant?  I can forgive the comma splice.

Till I hear back from you guys, though?

I’m off to do a bit of research

in the meantime…

(I’ve managed to find this clip posted other places, but who’s the director/editor/artist responsible?)

“‘Big Deal,’ Katastrophe’s music video, is a creative retelling of June 3, 1968, when artist Andy Warhol was shot by the writer Valerie Solanas. In this play on the Warhol Superstar Factory complete with glitter blood, hip-hop artist Katastrophe fills Andy’s shoes and director Hilary Goldberg cameos as Solanas. Shot on Super 8 film with a colorful ensemble cast including Clint Catalyst, Audrey Kitching, and Dirk Mai, Big Deal pays homage to one of the darkest moments in pop culture history. Music by Katastrophe. Directed by Hilary Goldberg. Director of Photography Alison Kelly. Artist Cameos & Cast listed in tags.”

Seconds before Clint and Audrey begin jumping in order to create the illusion of “levitating.” No photo shop trickery here, kiddos…
