Vidder's notes:
Hawaii-fricken-5-0. Sign me up. I have no control over what I vid anymore. I can only vid what... vids itself. [...]This song has haunted me for years. I did attempt to vid it at one point, but it just didn't work. I have so many emotional ties to this song. It hits me very deep. Now I know why I couldn't vid it. I was waiting for this source. On so many levels, this show appeals to me. I feel like I was waiting for this Steve and this Danny. They were characters specifically written to my tastes. It's a beautiful thing.
The video is... all tangled up with my feelings about the song, and my feelings about the characters. There was something I always wanted to do with this song which I think I managed to incorporate, which was to gain some distance from the lyrics and at the same time intensify the gut feeling the song creates. Another important facet of this video was the world-building aspect. I really wanted a sense of the characters and their life. The island is the context in their relationship. Steve is the island, Danny is the survivor.[1]
Recs and Reviews
