I picked up vesperregina's pinch-hit because I realized I actually own The Hire DVD which my dad gave to me a few years ago. I think he got it at some trade show thinking I might like it, and I never really thought about it much since. The Hire was a series of short films produced by BMW to showcase its cars in 2001 and 2002. BMW hired a different director for each film (including notable names such as John Frankenheimer, Guy Ritchie, and John Woo), so each film has its own unique look and storyline.
The one thing I have to say about this vid is I had a serious case of vid farr while making it. I found the song the night I picked up the pinch hit, and I finished by the following night. And I couldn't tell anyone about it. Gah, that was hard! XD
"Drown in the Now" (edited)
by The Crystal Method, featuring Matisyahu
Rock when I rip it when I'm rollin' on clouds
Shout loud breathe in, won't you drown in the now
Said I rock when I rip it when I'm rollin' on clouds
Shout loud breathe in, won't you drown in the now
Starship rippin' through the night
Trippin' through your sight
Pop up and shadow when I pop through the blind
Seen shades of rays as they move through the space
We lace, we up concrete streets
Streaks tall paintbrush strokes
Oh so gloriously
Story unfolds which one will be told
Some get sold, some just fold
Multi beings releasing parallel
Songs swells to break all the dry spells
Late bells ring crack shells
When they got us
This love of life will propel righteousness
This love of life will propel righteousness
This love of life will propel ah
Take the message that you send with this vibrations
From the hearts of the young consolidations
Some of the hearts gone numb
Improve the situation
With the vision of the king
I rely on mountains
With assad and mic in my hand
I stand for the scene of sand
Mountains climb around them
[Repeat Chorus:] 3x
