And so here is a music video that is accompanying our documentary, The Free Speech Apocalypse. Many thanks to Darren Doane, who shot this, along with David Shannon and other members of his team. And thanks to our Jenny Geddes assemblage this time around — Dara Heiple, Tom Miller, Jay Niemeyer, Tom Isenberg, and Clint Hughes. Special thanks also to Great American Pianos for the use of their cool warehouse.

“Anything worth doing is worth doing badly.”
Of course Steve H, where are the links to all your video and post production works?
How would you improve it?
As a fan of D. Wilson in almost all of His pursuits, I consider myself “in the family”. That being said, I will always reserve the pleasure to give my armchair “Roger Ebert” to entertainment and music. And in this case I will repeat “don’t quit your day job”
Too funny.
My nephew shot and produced this. What do you think?

Well that video was certainly shot “better” and had a larger budget. I guess your nephew did not endorse or write the music, do I can save my harshest comments for the musician (who does have a very nice voice)
The content of the video along with the lyrics are both trite and a bore and “pretty” at the same time. Whoever chose tube-tops, the Led Zepelin tee, bikinis and bathtub frolics is a goof. The “endless youth” theme is played, no art there…
The family prays that life in LA won’t totally erase his Reformed upbringing. Yes, to much of your critique. Pretty shots of nature, horses and statues of dead white presidents.

Good luck with that.
“The love of money,” fame and power in the LA video market seems like a black hole of everything contra Christian.
LA sucks.
Confirmed from my porch
Steve H, we totally could have put Mt. Rushmore in *our* video too, but decided it wouldn’t fit aesthetically.
I asked Doug to put on a belly shirt and wave a confederate flag but then realized it was a bit gay.
Well, that would be too diverse even for this half Indian, half Irish, conservative, Covenantal Baptist rock n roll guitar player.
Clint can shred?
Now that would be art
Evidently, the day marriage fell was also the day the music died.
At least it didn’t have an ADD-inducing two cuts every second like “Hold Your Peace”. But it kinda surprises me that these music videos are so … timely. Years from now people will watch this and say “Wow, that is SOOOO 20teens.” (If people are still saying “that is SOOOO”, of course.)
Man, I love this song. A lot. And the video suits the eeriness of the lyrics, the sound, and our moment in time quite well.
I also love that Steve H self-identifies as an armchair critic. We all have our side gigs…
Thanks Nate, I’ll let him know.
Any plans on getting it over to amazon mp3? I know there is a way to get an mp3 from youtube but that takes a lot of work.
‘a lot of work’ is an overstatement but you know what I mean.
Not so great a lot of work.

This is my favorite Wilson song.
Just wanted to comment on the wonderful tone the electric guitar player has going here. Nicely done.
Off topic, but a great patriot has died. Willis Carto, rest in peace. https://www.splcenter.org/hatewatch/2015/10/30/willis-carto-longtime-anti-semite-and-holocaust-denier-dies-aged-89
