Elie & the Engine - Kin [OFFICIAL VIDEO]
Two ballet dancers perform a dance enhanced with surreal multi and after-image effect visuals. That's the description you get when you search for Pas De Deux, a revolutionary short movie made by Norman McLaren in 1968. In a peculiar way, it fits very well as the physically expressed version of our song Kin.Kin was recorded at Not Quite, an art collective in the village Fengersfors in the deep woods of Dalsland in the southwest of Sweden. We did not record this video ourselves and all the rights remain with the owners of the original.
Lyrics:
Standing at a point, a point in my life
Looking out at emotional wastelands
I’ve been trying to reach out for other people, tell them who I am
It’s way too cold to walk these streets alone
Same old windows, same old chair
I always write my saddest songs here
And I think it’s because I can’t see
The moon and the stars the sun rise and fall
Just a dark and lonely backyard that’s all, that’s all, that is all
Sitting by the fire, the fire of your eyes, looking in discovering
The mysteries of your kin, of my kin, of our kin
Maybe there’s a reason for this everlasting story but I can’t see the point
It lies way beyond why we should struggle for love, to feel love, to give love
Same old windows same old chair
This one I write to all you people out there
Who think it’s because you can’t see the moon and the stars
That you sometimes feel very weak and small
And I think it’s because I can’t see
The moon and the stars the sun rise and fall
Just a dark and lonely backyard that’s all, that’s all, that is all
