The video above is for one of my favorite songs from one of my favorite
albums. The band's name is Keane; the song: Somewhere Only We Know. It's
the very first track for a very good reason. It brings me back to when I
was just starting high school and sentimental songs with swelling
chords and crooning lyrics were exactly what I responded to most. The
alternate video is posted here because it was the one that made me
fall in love.
If for some reason you are unable to watch the video then the major point I'd like to get across is the imagery they used. The band starts in a very industrial place that slowly turns into the clearing of an English forest. It goes along with the music awfully well so look it up when you get the chance.
The reason I bring it up now is that it has managed to pop up in the
back of my mind again to inspire my designs. Every time I think of or
hear this song, it conjures up an image of pastoral paintings and
shepherdesses and farmer boys
I'm also reminded of the Pre Raphaelites mentioned in a previous post of mine. The sweet, sad melody sets the perfect mood for a photo shoot with an overcast day and diaphanous gowns.
They're all so moody and beautiful.
I also wanted to share a few of my favorite silhouettes that i associate with the ideas of spring and meadows and tragic heroines.
