Audiences have long enjoyed his acoustic prowess “live” – but I am just so pleased to share this taste of David Saxton’s amazing talent more broadly now, via video. His sound is a little bit Leo Kottke and a touch of Michael Hedges ~ but he’s entirely his own. Composing since his teens, Dave makes music that’s rich, melodic, stirring and deceptively complex. Enjoy!
I have to be honest. I’m not a big fan of music videos. I like to let music bring to mind whatever imagery my own mind conjures up, the way I like poetry to allow me to feel my own feelings without the emotional interjection of someone reading it aloud. But that’s another post, probably for my other blog.
The point here is that the band Coldplay has released a music video (directed by visual artists Shynola) that really elevates the realm of music video storytelling. And I’m including it here because it is designed – and illustrated – brilliantly.
It speaks for itself, so here it is. Enjoy!
