"All the pretty girls in the world..but I'm in this space with you..Heartache would stay with you..Escape with you...."
--------------------------------------------
Always loved the original when Kehlani shared this, probably one of my favorite songs of the year. I mean it's acoustic and vocals? A lot of my favorite pieces/songs to dance to were acoustic covers..AND always loved Tone Stith's work with both his originals and cover choices. So I just had to move when this combination was released. It was also fun being involved with everything again (editing, choreographing, drawing). It takes me a ton of time seeing how I want to piece ideas together considering the main idea is thought out beforehand, but piecing it together is just based off how I'm feeling the time of and some genuine mistakes turned gold. Either way, I had fun and I'm looking forward to continuing this wave of nostalgia as I continue remembering to not only keep exploring, but also how to really embrace what was/is me in the next project. I mean again, not every project will be so full out in thought, just following through with the idea of spending time to get lost and create from nothing. In fact besides the extra visual things in the project itself based off what I saw and actual nostalgia, when it came to just choreography, I had a lot of personal inspiration and connection to the song that pushed the dance in the direction it went. It's nice because I feel I'm covering a lot of ground, or for lack of better words, filling in/repatching the holes in my heart. I mean it's definitely been refueling my passion in a way that I could remember when I was younger. That's what I have always enjoyed and what created my art in the first place before all of these dreams started coming true. Just exploring worlds I saw in my head and attempting to translate it over to Earth form lol. Even with a few things coming true, there is more happiness to be had in the less hectic of lists to be done. So it's very nice throwing the reality of expectations out the window as well, instead of it sitting on my shoulders all of the time. It's my art and I'm able to do all of this in anyway that pleases and eases me. Also this 'Winnie The Pooh' episode is literally the only episode I remember the most as a kid watching this on VHS. It's great to be able to revisit and add to my adult work especially considering I love classic Disney throwback tings lol. Hope ya'll enjoy and thank you for supporting! Shout out to everyone that helped with this! -Love Daniel.
