How This Happened

My brother Simon and I have a history of making dance videos. Not too many, but we’ve definitely dabbled in that area quite a bit. We both dance, but honestly I’m not as brave as he is, plus I like being behind the camera. In this scenario, there was free rein to make whatever, and I’ve had this idea of somewhat fusing JuJu/witchcraft (sorry Mom) with dance and video. Most of my inspiration came from some previous held ideas I’m saving for a separate project, but when I listened to the song, the lyrics seemed to fit what I had in mind.

The song constantly makes reference to God, and plays around with the duality of being both a sinner and not. I’m not sure if that’s exactly how he meant it, but I when I heard the song, it felt to me almost a way of saying I can’t help who I am. When I finally met up with Simon, I wasn’t sure what we were gonna do, but I had this old book, and two different colored hats. I also had some chalk. I went with the religious dance circle theme, and tried play around with it. To be honest if you watch the video and try to pick out a story, there’s quite a few abstract ways you could see it, but I’m not the guy who hangs around Crunchyroll forums and spoils. I’m the guy who reports that guy.
