Bright World: So It Goes

#Soitgoes this song was my favourite on Evan's album Cloud Parade. Evoking any amount of emotions which was taken to another level when I attended the Premiere on the 26th. Alex's vision for this song took me to another place from where I had been previously with the Song. Sarah Winter I found mesmerizingly beautiful and the interaction with Evan was so heartfelt. A brilliant collaboration that produced a magically majestic piece of theatre/art.

I was present at the Premiere of the music video of "So It Goes" on June 26,2022, and I haven't stopped thinking about it since. While Evan's song is so beautiful, and the lyrics so meaningful, this song in the video of Alex's vision is truly a thing of beauty. The cathedral setting, Sarah's dancing, her interaction with Evan evoked so many emotions. Art such as this is what keeps us going through the sometimes mundane and tough times, and brings joy.

Beautiful video! It seems like more like a short film than a music video. Kudos to Evan, Alex, Sarah, Nicki, CowHouse Films and everyone involved. Hope to see more from this team in the future.

The video thrilled and moved me. Strength, sweetness, poignant. A particular atmosphere that captures you and makes you part of this masterpiece. A wonderful, intense interpretation of Evan and Alex, a profound, true, unique director. His style stands out among all. Thanks to all of you.

What an up and down and inside out whirl of a ride within the serene confines of four walls this was. So much done to the viewer's emotions with so seemingly little effort. That in itself is no small feat. Let's talk about that voice! A rippling stream of comfort and balm for the soul is what Evan Williams' voice is; he never fails to pull the listener into the stories he sings. The acting! Anger, frustration, elation, triumph, and bewilderment portrayed in combination by the uber-talented Versailles series alumni Williams and Sarah Winter. Winter's brilliant and triumphant smile as she walked away at the end was the perfect counter-balance to Williams' stunned expression. This video was brilliantly directed by another Versailles veteran, the multitalented Alexander Vlahos. The nuances within this video were masterful. We were gifted both the obvious story line as well as the story behind the story we watched unfold. I am hungry for more Bright World songs and more videos (as well as movies) directed by Vlahos. Brilliant work!
