Creating the Music Video
At the birth of this song, when it was still in the writing process, I was in search of love, peace and happiness. After completing the music video I have completed the song, reached the end and found what I was looking for.
Completion.
This music video is down to Earth and natural. It's full of imagery and symbolism from my life and my story.
Locations
The music video was shot in upstate New York during the fall. Jacob Payne directed and edited the video.
Scene 1
Caramici's Bistro and Bakery

I decided to film at this lovely Bistro because during the Fall and Winter it is the home to a wild painted piano for the public. In the Summer time these pianos are randomly put outside through out Buffalo for people to play. Check out the wild paint job!

After shooting for the day I went back with my love, MC ZiLL for a nice dinner. We were treated like royalty and the food was to die for. I can't wait to go back!
Scene 2
Silo City!

Silo City looks old and haunted but this place may be what gave Buffalo her "Queen City" title. During Buffalo's hay day Silo city was a gem and it brought in a lot of money for the city.
It was spooky filming here but I was surprised how well these huge massive silo's have held over over a hundred years.
Scene 3
Griffis Sculpture Park

Symbolism
There are tons of personal referances through out the video.
Love
I recently became engaged. After MC ZiLL and I became engaged the first date we went on was at sculpture park.
The crab in the video is my fiance's zodiac sign. He's a cancer.
Moving
The sense of searching and travelling in present through out the music video.
Planes
Suitcase
I call this suitcase Big Red. It has been with me for awhile now on this journey.
When I moved to New York I left most of my things behind in California. I went to CA. for a visit and picked up this suitcase for $5 at a thrift store. I used it to bring back some of my things to NY. I definetly was mocked in the airport for lugging that thing around!
