Well this took a bit longer than I wanted. I felt like doing something more experimental and weird. Sorry I vanished for a week to do that haha...

We now resume our normal programming

The Hand That Takes

A bit of an experimental video. Sometimes I like to imagine music videos for songs I find and decided to actually try my hand at it. Took about a week. I feel I got a bit more comfortable with colors and zoning out making backgrounds so was worth it! The original song is called "O Superman" and was produced by Laurie Anderson in 1981. You can find it here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vkfpi2H8tOE. I edited the song down and cut a few lines I felt didnt fit.

Well it's sort of neat, but unfortunately my hearing turns out to be too poor, and I frequently couldn't understand the mysterious voice at all, stripping it of much of its impact.

O Superman O Judge O Mom and Dad Mom and Dad Hi, I'm not home right now But if you wanna leave a message Just start talking at the sound of the tone (Ah, ah-ah) Hello? This is your Mother Are you there? Are you coming home? (Ah, ah) Hello? Is anybody home? Well, you don't know me, but I know you And I've got a message to give to you Here come the planes So you better get ready, ready to go You can come as you are, but pay as you go Pay as you go And I said, "Okay, who is this really?" And the voice said "This is the hand, the hand that takes" "This is the hand, the hand that takes" "This is the hand, the hand that takes" And the voice said "Neither snow nor rain, nor gloom of night Shall stay these couriers from the swift completion Of their appointed rounds" 'Cause when love is gone There's always justice And when justice is gone There's always force And when force is gone There's always Mom, hi Mom (Ah, ah)
