Kelly Says:
I almost always make the video before the music, but in this case I made the song first. I was sitting at dinner and was thinking about a few situations lately where instead of arguing with someone with views I did not agree with, I chose to be silent. This song is about the power of silence as a boundary. The song speaks entirely in metaphors. It takes an internal feeling, the pressure of holding back your thoughts, and turns it into a physical landscape. Instead of saying ‘I’m not going to argue with you,’ it says ‘I bite my lip / To keep the ocean in the ship.’ Usually, ships keep water out. Here, I am the ocean. You bite your lip to keep your vastness from flooding a conversation that is too small to hold it. “Taste the iron, sharp and sweet” Using the physical sensation of biting your lip as a grounding technique, a sharp reminder that you are real, distracting you from the noise around you.”The Seal Upon the Door” The physical act of closing your mouth isn’t submission; it’s locking the door to your inner peace. It treats silence not as an absence of words, but as a heavy, physical seal that keeps your own energy (the ocean) from spilling out into a place where it doesn’t belong.” I used Chat to help me with the lyrics and description for this one. I had the idea and much of how I wanted to write the lyrics but it helped me create these beautiful metaphors. The song was then made using @sunomusic . The images were made by using the lyrics to help create the prompts.. Animated using #VEO3. The full song is over 4 mins long and is available on my Bandcamp. A very long workflow today :-)
