Daniel Lanois' "The Maker", brilliantly performed by Willie Nelson, Emmylou Harris, and Daniel Lanois on guitar.  A stunningly beautiful performance.

"Oh, Oh Deep water
Black, and cold like the night
I stand with arms wide open
I've run a twisted mile
I'm a stranger
in the eyes of the maker

I could not see
for fog in my eyes
I could not feel
for the fear in my life
From across the great divide
In the distance i saw a light
Jean baptiste
walking to me with the maker

My body is bent and broken
by long and dangerous sleep
I can work the fields of abraham
and turn my head away
I'm not a stranger
in the eyes of the maker

Brother john
Have you seen the homeless daughters
standing there
with broken dreams
I have seen the flaming swords
there over east of eden
burning in the eyes of the maker
burning in the eyes of the maker
burning in the eyes of the maker
burning in the eyes of the maker

oh river rise from your sleep...."

                                     --Daniel Lanois

Thank you, Richie.

As to "An Oversimplification Of Her Beauty", the trailer is so wonderfully intriguing.   It's a new sort of short film stretched to a 45 minute format.  I'm putting this Terence Nance film on my must see list.

Adidas is bringing flavor with their "adidas Originals | unite all Originals" ad campaign.  The video is filled with modern pop culture/creative culture visual and audio references underpinned with a dubstep groove.   And the product offering has a hipster appeal that speaks to a wide swath of the marketplace.  Interesting and very effective marketing.  I dig it.
