Unsafe for family viewing?? I felt the video was wonderful! I like how it stretches the boundaries (beyond "traditional" expectations) of where and how humans hope to find comfort.

I listened to more songs by Mike Hadreas, such as the one below. A negative is that they often sound very similar, I feel. A positive is that their simplicity makes them sound meaningful (even if I'm not always sure of the meaning).
