.jed's other poem.

I've stumbled upon yet another music video that caught my eye.

I just adore how people weave simplicity into something understatedly handsome. Watching the cursor dancing around in synergy with the song makes me smile, a little.

Pick A Piper is a collective from Weber along with Angus Fraser, Dan Roberts, and Clint Scrivener. Directed by Weber himself, here's a candy-speckled video directed by Weber himself - which was partially shot in magical Iceland, just the way I remember that subdued utopia - for their single “Rooms.”
