Brand New Colony
Music by The Postal Service available in iTunes.

I recently took a trip from New York City to Long Island to visit my cousins. On the train ride there, I happened to sit down at a window that was completely blurry. It was as if I had taken my glasses off (if I wore any) and all you could make out were the fuzzy shapes flying by, glinting in the morning sun. The result is what you see in this video: an unfiltered, raw look at that footage, taken with a Casio Exilim.

 

When you consider the lyrics to "Brand New Colony," they speak to an incredible journey and the promise of what's to come at the end. "We'll cut our bodies free from the tethers of this scene, start a brand new colony, where everything will change..." There's a million decisions we make each day and finding direction in those little details is all a part of the journey. Figuring out where you're going and how you're going to get there can be pretty blurry sometimes... but in the end, it all becomes clear. And if you look closely, you'll catch glimpses of that clarity along the way.
