Music: The River King

(Ryan Morgan and Jesse Zaraska)

Even words less than nothing

A shade in the falling dusk

Can this ever be clear to us?

Time spreads so wide and all we reach is the moment as narrow as it is

Now pay your toll here at the banks of the strait without a bridge for miles

Can't see across, copper coin under tongue to pay your toll

Passage to the ferryman, bound for the further shore

A shade in the falling dusk

Please let me see

Time spreads so wide and all we reach is the moment as narrow as it is

Build a vessel that will not leak with current so strong on legs so weak

We must sail with no wings to speak into an unknown we all must face

Revel, rejoice, and wade into the dark or into the dawn

Can't turn back, can't hold still and drown

Can't point to a throne where you rule, where you control

River King, River King, can't turn back the river flow

Let go of it, time spreads so wide and all that we reach is the moment as narrow as it is

My first music video. My cousins, Ryan and Branden, are in the band and I told them years ago that if they ever wanted help with a music video that I would love to be involved. The time came for them to release a new album and they contacted me to see if I would be interested in creating a video for one of the songs. I flew to Portland, Oregon, and we filmed for a day in the pouring down rain in the woods. The following day we filmed the band in a warehouse space, and we were not standing in the rain... Over the next few months, I refined the edit and color with the guidance of the band and got it to where it is here. I am happy with how it turned out and am humbled to have been given the chance to take on such a project! Best of luck to Misery SIgnals on the release of their new album "Ultraviolet”
