Amanda Palmer “Strength Through Music”
Im not sure if any of you have been following Amanda Palmer’s (Dresden Dolls) video series on YouTube but she is releasing a video for ever track off her solo disc until its release date. Each video is released two weeks apart and the latest installment is for the song “Strength Through Music” directed by Michael Pope. It is a harrowing memorial to violence/ shooting in schools. The video takes place in Amanda’s old high school with actors from the school’s drama department. Its exactly how I imagined the video to be- a dreamy quality much like the Virgin Suicides. The end shot of Amanda counting down is haunting. I don’t think its any secret that i greatly admire Amanda and this is just another reason why.
