FUNNY STORY! Last night we were watching The Indigo Girls livestream & we don't know why, but our name kept popping up on their monitors, and they mentioned our name a few times during the show! By the end it was hopefully clear that we were not a bot but in fact real people -- but just so there is no confusion -- Emily and Amy, we are real and real fans! Here's a song for you ❀️ β€ͺ@indigogirlsmusic‬ #theindigogirls #galileo

The Sea The Sea

We’ve been waiting for the right moment to collaborate again with Zachary Johnson and the Made Shop after Johnson first hand-painted the rotoscoped music video for our song β€œWaiting”. There was something in the title track from this new album, Stumbling Home, that kept eliciting images in the style of his oil paintings, so we reached out.

For β€œStumbling Home”, the idea was to now place the viewer up close on the streets of an unknown city, walking amidst crowds of people. Rather than the continuous motion of β€œWaiting”, here he wanted to focus more on fleeting moments, lit up and frozen in fading vignettes, while still maintaining some sense of a roving camera eye. We continued to talk, and the idea formed of only painting the various people, unmoored from their surroundings, each passerby an individual moving against an inky emptiness of black.

In a strange way, the concept rang true to the intention of the songβ€”that our most meaningful moments often don’t seem that way at the time. They can look unassuming from the outside, and sometimes even from the inside. In the song, we imagine those moments as flickers, like old light from stars, in some sky a million years from now. Thinking of that now as a love song to the ways we all continue to move through the world together, and all that we find in the falling, the tripping over ourselves along the way. β€œWe’re all just walking each other home” β€” Ram Dass

We are feeling the shift in all things. This song, to us, has always been a song about reclaiming a sense of self when outside forces seek to erode it. But today we are thinking of Amanda Gorman β€˜s powerful words β€œSomehow we’ve weathered and witnessed a nation that isn’t broken, but simply unfinished” and we’re grateful for the opportunity to hear our own words in a new way. Here’s to a better world, and to all the important work that lies ahead. β€œOn the other side there’s another universe” xo, c&m
