Taylor Bennett Film Provokes Thought & Emotion with Visuals & Music

-Taylor Bennett's Broad Shoulders

Directed by Heston Charres-

I was originally going to release this post the day it came out, writing up an outline to base my piece on.  But Taylor Bennett's video struck a cord in me I didn't want to revisit and
was trying to avoid for years. So I sat with it for a week just thinking about it/things.

It stung me, but I loved it. 

It hurt, but it was meant to hurt and meant to be moving and stir up memories and emotions you've wanted to leave behind and forget all together.  

These songs off this short film taken from his debut album BROAD SHOULDERS meld and
form so beautifully in the edit that it draws you in from the start and tells the story within itself.

I'm leaving my outline describing my interpretation of this film at the bottom of this post just to show how different this all actually came out.  But that's the beauty in art, it sticks with you and flips your mind over, makes you think.

Shout out to HurtEverybody appearance in the party scene and being credited together and not separately.  There's still hope.

boy/girl sit on a cloud in the middle of chicago streets, nothing can touch them right now.  learning about each other, not minding the harsh realities going on around them.

honeymoon period.

girl gives box as present

represents not only passing of time with watch but the unboxing of her/his/their demons

go to party and they get lost in eachother and separate

both searching/stumbling trying to find that spark/love/connection like they did with one another before.

and as the sun comes up, they see each other one last time to end things correctly even though the temptation of going back is still there.

then life continues.  

you get to work, consume yourself in it, grind and try not to die.
