Look at this very interesting video from Death Cab for Cutie's song Someday You Will Be Loved:
The video, other than being a lot of fun visually, has a deep meaning. It is a song about relationships, but more than that it is a song about the staggering hurts that the heart can sustain in this life and the mysterious process of healing. One wonders, watching it, how the heart can survive it all, but somehow it does.
It is an illustration of one of the things I love about art: an artists creates something that is rich with meaning and everyone finds something of their own in it. A wise man once said that the best art is always changing. The best art is big enough to contain a lot of life and a lot of truth, and when you hold that up to the shimmering background of our ever-changing lives different places shine through and different places resonate. Great art has the power to meet everyone where they are - it is vast. I am not saying history will remember this little video as something great, only that it is big enough for everyone to find something in it, and true enough to life that they will.
