I’ve wanted to do a live in the studio video of “Mindful”, from my 2007 EP “5”, for quite a while now. Never really saw the exact imagery/vibe that I was looking for, until, a little over a week ago, the sky changed. Changed from the almost relentless sun we’ve had here in Vancouver to this way more interesting, at least to me, mix of dark and light clouds moving at a fair clip. I literally dropped what I was doing and headed outside to grab a bunch of cloud/sky shots that I knew would help tell the story of “Mindful”. I originally played the album version of this tune on a Godin Multiac Grand Concert nylon string guitar through a bunch of distortion (I know, not the most common approach). Unfortunately, that guitar was stolen back when I was living in Toronto and I think the electric works great on this live in the studio video. Anyways, as always, thanks for listening and I hope you like the music!
