The Promise Room

Song by Dive Index here or vid down below

"Cause it's a dangerous game
But I'm protected by the arms of this embrace
For now 
I see, right through the rain

Like I can taste the sun and hold it again
Hold it again."

So now it is official, there is no such thing as a concept crisis anymore. It is just the inevitable side effect of my own limitations and collaboration that makes me jump horses mid race. I now accept this as the reality of creation.  


This week's offering was the pinnacle of this realization. I had something planned and it was not the right timing. I spent all my L$ on it and was in prep mode when I got the word it would be a no go. Totally the right call for the right reasons, but I was stuck on where to go, with no money and a week to make it happen.


With a few freebies and cheapies, a song I recently fell in love with, and the vast black hole that is my 94k inventory I pulled out an act that is probably my new favorite. And next to Peel Me a Grape, I feel is one of my best.

The song so perfectly matched my emotional state at the time it was uncanny, the act wrote itself and was truly cathartic to work on. 


I used two outfits that I had worn for a magazine photoshoot, and had no intention of using for an act, but they were perfect on many levels, linking back to the song again.


This is another one that I hope to perform again and eventually film, once I learn how to make machinima. I even still love the song desparately, even after listening to it non stop for a week plus.
