Music News - Melodownz explores personal dualities in video for Peace $igns, Gang $igns
31 October 2018 - 0 Comments
Melodownz reveals the struggle between the two sides of his personality in the effects-laden video for Peace $igns Gang $igns, released today.
"The video is actually my meditation trance," Melodownz says.
"Peace $igns Gang $igns showcases the battle between my dualities. What we've been able to do with the video is illustrate the good and the bad, the light and the dark, and at the end of the video I realise that both sides are actually me."
"I hope that people understand that humans are multi-faceted and there's constantly an inter-play between our internal good wolf and bad wolf like in the old Cherokee saying - we showcase this concept quite heavily in the music video."
The Fight of Two Wolves Within You
An old Cherokee is teaching his grandson about life:
“A fight is going on inside me,” he said to the boy.
”It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One is evil–he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.”
He continued, “The other is good – he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. The same fight is going on inside you–and inside every other person, too.”
The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: “Which wolf will win?”
The old Cherokee simply replied, “The one you feed.”
The video was directed and edited by Jordan Cherrington with VFX by 10Daniel16 and Connor Pritchard and made with support from NZ on Air.
Peace $igns Gang $igns is available now on iTunes, Apple Music and Spotify.
